Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa

Bordered by black volcanic cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Sheraton Keauhou Bay is among the most affordable, family-friendly resorts on the Kona Coast. Divided among four wings, the 575 rooms are simply decorated with neutral tones and private lanais overlooking the ocean or mountains. The resort also has an open-air spa and one of the most impressive pools on the island, with whirlpools, waterfalls, and a 200-foot-long waterslide. Dining options include Kai, which serves traditional Hawaiian fare; Haleo, the weekly luau dinner show; and Manta Ray Bar & Grill, which provides up-close views of rays gliding through the water.
