Big Island Vacation Guide 2008 - (Page 33) JOHN DE MELLO LUXURY RESIDENCES FOR THE PRICE OF A HOTEL ROOM Mauna Lani Point and The Islands at Mauna Lani Francis H. I‘i Brown South Course, Kohala Coast town of Kailua-Kona. The town is still a fishing village—as it’s been for centuries—except now the catch is more likely to be a record marlin or an ocean view table at a popular eatery. Tap into Kona Brewing Company’s handcrafted ales. This Kailua-Kona brewpub also offers brewery tours during the week. The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, held each summer, brings the world’s top sport anglers to Kona’s legendary waters. Everyone else comes for the shopping, the dining, a stroll up see-andbe-seen Ali‘i Drive and perhaps the perfect sunset cocktail. Kailua-Kona was just as popular in the old days as it is today and its history is not forgotten even in the midst of this lively party scene. For more information, visit www.destinationkonacoast.com.
