My wife and I visited the Big Island to see its sights, not lounge around the pool or beach all day, so we didn't want to pay several hundred $ per day for resort amenities that we wouldn't be using. We just wanted a clean place to sleep and shower...we were out the door by 8am every day. Kanaloa at Kona 1203 met that need very well. It is well-located, quiet and it has a pleasant lanai for early breakfast and coffee.

Happy hour?
There's not much nightlife to speak of in Kailua-Kona, so its a good idea to enjoy sunset drinks on the water and then have dinner.
