Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly and helpful with any needs as well as keeping the property very well maintained and room cleaned."

Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Truly great amenities, design and location of the hotel. Very friendly staff, plenty of parking spaces. Views from the room and hallway are unbeatable."

Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip to the Big Island was a last minute switch from Kauai due to storms. It was our first time on Hawaii Island, and we hadn't done any research in advance. The Mauna Lani turned out to be a perfect basecamp from which to explore the island's volcanos, beaches, oceans, tidepools, and history. It was luxurious without being fussy. The staff were almost without exception were warm and helpful. Our room had a beachfront view that was gorgeous, and a large lanai from which to enjoy it. I'm not sure if it was because the hotel was not at full capacity, but our room was very quiet, and our every need was met instantly upon request. We had so much fun!"
