Lonoikamakakahiki Residence and Paniau Heiau

This is a good example of the embarrassment of riches in West Hawai’i in terms of our archaeological heritage, and the disrespectful and wasteful way which we deal with these important resources.

Here at Lonoikamakakahiki Residence is a king’s palace, 500 years old, and built by one of Hawai’i’s greatest kings, King Umi. This site was later inhabited by at least two other important kings (Lonoikamakakahiki and Kalanio’pu’u) as well as Kamehameha the Great. In any other state this would be an archaeological treasure, a park or preserve, but certainly showcased and cared for. In this case, in Hawai’i, a very few remnant walls were grudgingly reprieved from the bulldozer’s blade when the Kona Surf and Racquet Club was built by the Bishop Estate (Kamehameha Schools); the rest of this historical treasure was bulldozed into oblivion for all time. It is not even generally available for causal viewing, locked away behind the Kona Surf and Racquet Club’s iron gates where only paying Club guests and pedestrian visitors can see it. Of course, there is no available (legal) parking nearby.

I need a cheap vacation package deal but nice hotel. Please help.

Kona is ON the island called Hawai’i, which is also known as the Big Island. Kona is a district on the west side of the island. Kailua-Kona is a touristy town there.

You say you want cheap but nice. The two don’t go together…especially in Hawaii. I can give you cheap and I can give you nice. You decide what you want.

Aloha,
Former Big Island/Current Kauai resident

Kona Village Resort is rustic, yet luxurious, tranquil, yet adventurous and romantic, yet family friendly. Anyone who has ever dreamed of the perfect Hawaiian getaway, look no further than this island gem. It is the first in a succession of world class resorts that make up the Kohala Coast, if traveling north from Kona airport. Kona Village is unique as its rooms are actually 125 free standing thatched huts or hale (HA-lay) of Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan and Indonesian influence. There are no …
