Aloha,

It's YOUR vacation, what do you want to do with it? KonaJem has everything you need...it's modern & equipped, comfortable & clean, quiet & convenient.

Start your day enjoying your fresh Kona coffee, local sweet bananas, papayas, mangoes, and pineapples from your covered lanai with beautiful ocean views, warm breezes, lush grounds, and birds singing.

RELAX in a lounge chair and read by the pool or PLAY at Keauhou Bay or one of the many near by beaches, golf, shop or EXPLORE the amazing Big Island!

End your day on your private lanai with local pupus (appetizers) including fresh guacamole from local avocados, fresh sashimi (ahi/tuna) and a cold, tropical drink. From the comfort of your own lanai, every night you will witness the majesty of a beautiful Kona sunset, and if you're lucky you might even see the famous "green flash".  Barbecue and enjoy the evening with family and friends.

Or go further north to the famous Hapuna Beach for an afternoon of waves and sunning. Explore the amazing Hamakua coastline.  Take in the amazing view of the Waipio Valley or venture down and experience the valley on horseback, and don't forget to stop for a warm Malasada (Portugese donut) while you are over there.  Hike out to Akaka Falls and experience the town of Hilo.  Don't miss the Big Island Candy Company and the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Tour.  Explore the Volcanoes National Park and see the lava flowing into the ocean.
