Three years ago the Old Kona Surf was transformed into the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, and they are still upgrading the property.  A 360,000-gallon swimming pool was added, along with slides, and more was added such as the Manta Ray Super Slide and Pool that was built atop a lava rock promontory.  Also added was a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, a bayside wedding chapel and the Ho’ola Spa. 

            Not only were attractions added, but so were other attractions to help boost the quality of the resort.  About $40,000 in Hawaiian art was added to the hotel as part of a program to tie themselves to Kauhou’s Polynesian past.  Also added is the popular Kamahao Luau, which includes table service dinners and a show.  You dine while watching ‘The Wondrous Myths of Hawaii,” that focuses on the history and legends of their history in a mix of theater, music and song.  The resorts shopping center has also been expanded to include additional restaurants and stores.

            And outside the resort you will find attractions as well.  They are also known for their two golf courses, where greens feess are cheaper here than at most of the other resort courses on the same coast.  And when there, you must indulge in the aquatic activities, such as zodiac boating, sport fishing, kayaking, snorkeling trips and whale-watching cruises, which you can find within a short walk of the hotel.
