Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

Island Vibes and Ocean Breezes Steps from Live Music

Modern and relaxed with a splash of tropical flair, Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel brings easygoing island energy right to the heart of Kailua-Kona. Just a short walk from the town’s waterfront venues and local attractions, this beachfront hotel blends convenience with comfort. With rooms featuring private balconies, flat-screen TVs, and Kona coffee machines, it's a refreshing home base after a night of music and memories.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just minutes away from downtown Kona’s live music spots, and getting back to your room after the show is a breeze. The hotel’s central location means you can walk to most events, and the area is generally quiet at night—perfect for post-show wind-downs. The 3 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out give you that extra bit of flexibility, and if you're planning to explore the Big Island between shows, the on-site tour desk makes it easy.

- Groups of friends who want beach access and walkable nightlife
- Solo travelers chasing a favorite artist and island adventure
- Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
- Fans wanting a quieter, scenic place to recharge
- Budget-conscious travelers looking for value and location

Nightlife Options

Looking to keep the night going? You’re in luck. The hotel's central spot places you near many of Kona’s local bars, lounges, and beachfront hangouts. While there’s no on-site live music in-house, the vibe around the hotel is festive, with seasonal luaus occasionally lighting up the property.
