ALOHA!
Below is a map with Kona hotels alongside some of the best things to do on the Big Island.
Hopefully this can help you decide where to stay in Kona based on what activities you want to do on the Big Island, as you can see how far away a given activity is from Kona hotels.
The vast majority of hotels and located on the Kona side, and many people stay the overnights on this side for their entire stay on the Big Island and make day trips to different parts of the island.
On the Big Island, there are also a few hotels or small accommodation options on the other side of the island, most notably around Hilo or around Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. So you may also consider staying a few days in Kona, and then a night or 2 on another part of the island.
Aside from Hilo and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, you may also consider staying in Puna (kind of near the national park) too.
