If you’re not renting a car and want to be taken directly to our Main Lobby, we recommend taking a Speedi-Shuttle from Kona International Airport.

5. Have a car? Use self park or valet

Self-parking is available for $27 per day. However, we recommend using our Valet Parking service for $37 per day to avoid the long uphill walk from the parking lot.
