Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"Love the pool."

Kona Coast Resort

8/10 Good

"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Kona Coast...We stayed for 4 nights and would probably stay again, especially since units are to be renovated soon. Our 1 bedroom unit was spacious and comfortable once the AC kicked in. We enjoyed the lanai overlooking the golf course with distant ocean view. The bed was comfortable. We felt it was a good value. The one small critique/suggestion I have is that each unit provide basic kitchen staples, like salt, pepper, and cooking oil so that does not need to be purchased and wasted between each guest and the check in agent wasn't very friendly. Otherwise, very nice stay indeed!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and comfortable for three people, with table and chair space for dining in the room. Air conditioning worked well. Breakfast had ample choices. Would return again."

Holua Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property itself is beautiful and the people helping you get around the property were extremely helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to go."

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Truly a resort that you never have to leave. Has lots of dining and shopping options. Nice variety of pools. Very well maintained. The resort is BIG. 60 plus acres with 3 different rooming "towers". Dolphin Quest is especially interesting."

Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Ambiance was very romantic with live local music playing during the day and at night. Lots of beaches and areas to explore and enjoy the beauty of the landscaping. Plenty of activities and different places to eat. But hands down, the employees are what put this place over the top. Very genuine! And they took excellent care of us which made it a very special experience. Love this place."

Club Wyndham Kona

10/10 Excellent

"This property was wonderful! Clean and best of both worlds- a hotel that had everything we needed (all we had to do was ask if we needed fresh towels or coffee, etc.) but set up like a little condo with living room, lanai, kitchen, and two bedrooms. It even had a laundry machine that was very convenient. Would gladly stay again!"

Aston Kona by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff! Especially letting us pre-check in, so when it came to check in time it was smooth sailing! Got a nice drink and chocolate to celebrate for my birthday! Which was a very nice surprise!"

Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean, and the beach is very clean and beautiful. In the morning, the ocean is usually calm with small waves, making it a great time for snorkeling. We were also able to see sea turtles quite easily. However, there are several things that could be improved. The parking area is quite far from the rooms, and getting from the second floor to the lobby is not very convenient. The hotel does not offer many entertainment or recreational facilities other than the swimming pool. The beach is not actually owned by the hotel, and ordering food or drinks from the hotel while staying at the beach is quite inconvenient. The air conditioning in our room was also very loud, and the temperature control worked inconsistently. On the positive side, the hotel’s signature drinks were very good. Overall, the hotel is clean and has a beautiful, peaceful beach with excellent opportunities for snorkeling and seeing sea turtles, but the facilities and room amenities could use some improvement."
