On the Big Island of Hawaii, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is upbeat, breezy, and dramatic. Situated on the sunny Kohala Coast, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel has defined Big Island luxury since its opening in 1994. The hotel presents a flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style where guests experience the true essence of rejuvenation. Rated the "Number one beach in America" by Conde Nast Traveler, Hapuna is a long stretch of pristine white sand. There is a little cove nearby where the waters are sheltered and clear. It's the perfect place for swimmers and snorkelers to explore at their leisure. Water sport activities include scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and whale watching. Check out a 360 degree virtual tour of the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Visit the hotel Web site for more information, but be sure to book your accommodations through SMTA for conference rates. If you have other questions regarding travel or accommodations please contact SMTA administrator JoAnn Stromberg. DRIVING DIRECTIONS FROM KONA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO HAPUNA BEACH PRINCE RESORT: 1.
