is closed!Yes, you read it right. Now, it's final. One of the most favorite Big Island hotels on the Kohala Coast is temporarily closed for repair due to more structural damage than originally assessed from the Kohala Coast earthquake in October. Some hotel employees anticipated this move; others were totally caught by surprise. Hotel management waited with this announcement till the last minute.Last Saturday, the official day of closure, was a very sad moment for employees (we feel with all the employees being laid off at a time when they need their jobs the most!), guests and residents alike but safety comes first. It's hard to comprehend that this oldest of the Kohala Coast hotels won't be open for their regular busy Christmas crowd over the holidays. Current guests were moved to Mauna Kea's sister hotel Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel will do everything to find appropriate accommodations in other Kohala Coast hotels for guests with fut Read more:Closed

E Komo Mai. Welcome to the Kohala Coast! 2006-12-03 04:39:00 Aloha Angela and Mike from Californa,
Sorry for the delay with this message. We were just waiting for our KohalaCoast
vacancies from rental owners for December coming in. It looks pretty good for your plans, even for the time between Christmas and New Years, there are still a few vacation rentals available on the beach or ocean view rentals. If you want to save some money on accommodation, you can find great places 10 -15 minute-drives from best
Kohala Coast beaches
. Save money on accommodations, rather spend it on a great dinner or even better on an
exotic luau
on the Kohala Coast resorts.
However, remember what I said last time in my post
Christmas Vacation on Kohala Coast of Hawaii Big Island

Are you are planning a Last Minute trip to the
Kohala Coast
on the Big Island for the holidays
?
Well, the motivated, committed and dedicated traveler always finds a way around obstacles, just like in 'Amazing Race'. So, be prepared that most of the Kohala Coast hotels and a lot of the vacation rentals are booked by now over the holidays and choices have become limited. Also know that flights and car rentals are another big issue when you plan your Last Minute vacation on your own. First check with the the Big Island car rental companies
http://www.kohalacoastweb.com/big_island_car_rental.htm
what is available and at what rate. You may have to dig deep into your pocket when making a late car rental reservation.
Over the holidays, car rental rates can be as triple the regular rate. Common sense tells you that this is an island with limited cars available, right?!. After your flight and car rental are reser

Are You Where You Belong In Life?
Many people come to the Big Island of Hawaii for personal renewal and reflection. The first time I came to Hawaii in 1974 I fell in love. Not with a person. I fell in love with this warm, colorful, sensuous, smiling island. I somehow felt at home, like I was where I belonged in life. However, belonging is not only
Hawaiian Healing 2006-11-23 06:02:00 Here we go again,Our most recent post talked about our active volcano and how Hawaii Volcanoes National Park attracts each year thousands of visitors. Have you ever wondered what makes people want to come to Hawaii Big Island? Is it the live volcano, the exotic beauty and the diversity of our island, the white sand beaches, the warm Pacific Ocean or the unique Hawaii events like the Ironman Triathlon in Kona or Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo? I guess everybody has his own reasons why they are drawn to the Big Island.Here is another, more recent powerful tendency within the Hawaii tourist industry, which Kohala Coast resorts and private Big Island holistic practitioners alike are recognizing and paying attention to. More and more tourists are visiting the Hawaiian

With the recent reports on the big

still in the minds of Big Island
residents and Big Island visitors to the

, the connection from the earthquake to our active Big Island volcanoes is easily made.
We figured some basic information on volcanic activity in the past and present cannot hurt, especially since a visit to our Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park is on everybody's agenda, however short their stay on our island. Besides a Mauna Kea Summit adventure, visiting a live volcano on the Big Island is one of the most fascinating experiences.
Have you ever sat outside on a warm summer evening and gazed up at the moon wondering what it was like for the astronauts to land there and walk around? I have and I tell you except that there is no atmosphere on the moon, parts of Volcanoes National Park remind me of pictures I've seen from the moon. It's eerie driving around the Park, seeing all the desolation of re

After our last post how a Waikoloa family dealt with the challenges of the recent

, we feel it's time to go on with life, just as everybody else on the island does.
Yes, believe it or not, earth quake or not...not even a full week after the 6.9 earth quake rattled the Kona and Kohala Coast on Sunday 10/15/06 the 2006 Hawaii Ironman

This Ironman will be for ever in the memory of Big Island
visitors and Ironman athletes alike as the 'race with the earthquake'. After a 6.9 earthquake had hit the the West coast of the Big Island on Sunday morning 10/15/06 at 7am, just one week before Ironman and left Big Island visitors, athletes and residents shaking, trembling and wondering whether there would be an Ironman this year, it Read more:History

As promised in our last post on Big Island earthquake, we are back with a short update on situation on Kohala Coast
after the Kona and the Kohala Coast got hit by a big earth quake of 6.7 magnitude (epicenter about 6 miles off Puako) on Sunday morning 10/15/06 at 7:07 am and a 10-minute later aftershock of 5.8, followed by more than 20 strong aftershocks during the day. It is a miracle that 'only' broken bones and minor injuries were reported. Some houses and even Kohala Coast hotels like the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, especially older ones, had serious damage.Update on Kohala Coast Vacation Rerntal BusinessWe checked back with our Kohala Coast vacation rental hosts. They had to do a lot of cleanup of broken dishes and things fallen out of fridges and from shelves.

Today, we decided to include this first hand report from a Kona resident who experienced the Kohala Coast earthquake on Sunday morning at 7:07 am. We thought we'd share this account with our

Aloha kakou -
Well it's been a memorable morning to say the least.... I knew it was time to jump out of bed when I heard things starting to crash above me and I figured it wasn't a good idea to be a part of the rubble. Fortunately Scott (I live in the ohana space at Scott and David's) is an excellent architect and after living in Southern California he had the savvy to be very wise in the design and construction of this place. So all that was damaged was some glass items, some very valuable art (he has an amazing collection of museum quality Buddhist art) and our nerves.

Therefore, the World Triathlon Corporation announced in February 2006 that the 2006 Ford Ironman World Championship will take place on October 21 instead of 10/14/06, as originally planned.

Good News for the Big Island
Electricity Supply
You might not think that the following information is important for you as a visitor to the Big Island or the Kohala Coast. Wrong! Actually, very wrong! With Hawaii being one of the states with the highest price for electricity (electricity is still generated the old way by burning fossil fuels!) but on the other hand, air conditioning being badly needed in all coastal areas, more so on the Kona and the Kohala Coast with their steady sunshine all year around, these high costs for electricity (AC!) reflect in a higher rate for your vacation rental home or condo. And who wants to pay each year more for his AC comfort

New Market AnalysisAloha Hawaii
lovers. This is a good one!Are you one of those Kohala Coast return visitors who dream of having their little piece of heaven in Hawaii? Well, your chances of being able to buy a nice property seem to be rising by the day or at least, by the month. After prices for real estate and houses for sale on all Hawaiian Islands were skyrocketing for the last two years, the Hawaii real estate market came finally to stagnation, as watched in other states like Arizona and California, with houses sitting much longer on the market and prices being dropped for making the sale.Of course, Kohala Coast property prices near the ocean or properties with ocean view are still not in the average, affordable category but being all the time in the heat by the ocean means high costs for air conditioning to stay comfortable and cool, plus tidal waves are not out of the picture. Nobody can predict Mother Nature! Here is a great alternat Read more:Moving

Sharks sighted on Kohala Coast 2006-09-01 18:25:00
Shark Sightings on KohalaCoast
during past week force closure of beaches
Numerous tiger sharks have been seen swimming in coastal waters along the Kohala coast for the past week, leading to the closure of several beaches.
The most famous Kohala Coast
beaches like Hapuna Beach State Park, Waialea Bay, Mauna Kea Beach Resort and Spencer Beach Park were closed for swimming and surfing, after county officials confirmed at least three tiger sharks, ranging in size from 10 to 15 feet, which were seen less than 50 yards from various Kohala Coast shorelines.
While tiger sharks are not uncommon to the Kohala Coast, experts say it is highly unusual for so many daytime sightings over a longer a period, especially with sharks traveling in packs and so close to shore.
These immediate precautions were taken by Hawaii State and County officials to ensure the safety of Kohala Coast visitors and residents alike. As soon as the danger is over, Kohala Coast beaches will be opened again. Better be Read more:Sharks

Plan - Ideas for your StayAloha Kohala Coast
lovers. Today we are back with some great ideas for everybody's first visit on the Kohala Coast, after we had some detailed Kohala Coast golf information last time. we recommend at least a weekly stay using your Kohala Coast vacation rental or your Kohala Coast vacation home as your 'base camp'.

Too bad for Mauna Kea Beach lovers but it does not look like there will be more beach parking and passes available. Sorry guys! It's not quite sure where the tennis club members will be parking in the future. The ladies locker room and the storage room next to it were converted into the "new' beauty salon. Air conditioned and newly carpeted, it looks pretty nice. Reason for this necessary change is that Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel never had its own beauty salon and Hapuna hotel guests always used the Mauna Kea salon.
It's also going to be interesting to see how much the Hapuna guests continue to shuttle over to use the Mauna Kea beach and the Hau Tree beach restaurant there. They are,
