"The room location was exceptional, as you could see the sunrise to the left, the lagoon and the ocean to the right, plus the Friday night fireworks. Clean, large lanai, comfortable, beach equipment supplied. It was great!"

Great facilities and apartments, just wish I had realised how big the resort is as we were staying with friends and they were a car drive away.
Also parking is super expensive.

One of the best hotels in the area. The newly acquired Ocean Tower is conveniently connected to the Hilton Palace and Hilton Waikoloa Village via complimentary tram and boat services. The Dolphin Quest experience is a real highlight of the property. Rooms are clean, and the staff are consistently polite and friendly. The restaurants are good, though vegetarian options are quite limited.

Probably the best resort we have stayed in, in all our travels & we have been around!
We were upgraded to the beach front suite which was absolutely stunning, luxurious & very very spacious, not to mention the ocean views & sounds of waves crashing to put you to sleep each night.
The private beach is superb & like the resort itself is not overcrowded like many other mainstream resorts.i would come back in a heart beat.

This was our second stay at Marriott Waikoloa Beach and won’t be our last, location is perfect, away from the crowds of Kona but a short drive back there, has 3 great pools and a beach, short stroll to queens or kings marketplaces or lava lava beach club. We stayed 5 nights but will definitely stay longer next time. The staff are so friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We got a pool view room and had a better ocean view this time than last time when we booked a ocean view. We were...

Kohala Village Inn in Hawi was a great place to stop on our trip around the island of Hawaii. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Service at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. The rate was fine for the stay and we enjoyed the Hub Pub.

A gem of an accommodation find near the top of the Big Island, only a 40 minute drive from the Kona airport. We travelled around the Big Island for six nights and this property was the most comfortable, modern, quiet, and convenient. The staff were extra helpful as well. The motel has a humble exterior, but we were delightfully surprised once inside our room.
