Kailua (Kona): Kailua (Kona)
Although the Big Island's main resort is officially called
KAILUA
, and its postal address is "Kailua-Kona," you're likely to hear it referred to as
Kona
as often as not. It's reasonably attractive, and has played its part in Hawaiian history, but its summer-holiday seafront of fast-food restaurants and souvenir shops could be anywhere; and the wind-borne "vog" means that the atmosphere can be as bad as in Los Angeles or London.
