Highrise buildings might dominate the skyline of Honolulu but it's the warm sea and sandy beaches that are the real draw to this pleasant city, the Hawaiian Islands' capital.
Nestled at the bottom of the Hualalai Volcano, is the main western city of Kailua-Kona. In ancient times, this area was considered the premier place to live due to the excellent weather and good water. Many kings made their homes here. This charming town has restaurants and shops abound. The Kona Reef Resort is what Hawaiian vacations are all about, a luxurious, ocean-side setting with the finest weather of all the islands, close to sports activities, unique history, and great shopping. It also has one of the best luaus on the islands and other adventures for the whole family.
