We just returned form a weeks vacation on the Big Island.
We stayed at the Kona Caost 11 resort (Shell Vacation Club), via RCI.
The resort was ideally situated for us, a little south of the town but not too far away to be inconvenient.
The condo was a good size, nicely furnished and clean. Two small things that some people might not be happy with, the tv's were not the newer flat panel type (but who wants to to watch tv when you are in Hawaii?), and there wasn't a whirlpool tub.
The staff at the resort were friendly and helpful.
We didn't at the restaurant, it didn't serve the type of food we wanted. it was a restaaurant/pool bar, serving burgers/hot dogs etc.
The resort is close to a small shopping mall (strip mall)that had other restaurants and a grocery store. It was close enough to walk to, less than five minutes from our condo.
I would definitely recommend the resort and we will be happy to stay there again.
As for the Big Island, it is beautiful, so much to do there, and we are planning to go back in September to try and see more of it.
We snorkled in beautifully clear water, we snorkled at night with Manta Rays, we took a tour to stargaze at the summit of Mauna Kea, toured Volcano park amongst other things.
