"This hotel is a dream! We loved being so close to Anaeho’omalu Bay! It was well maintained, and the staff was extremely helpful! My only main critiques are that the food was overpriced for what it was, and if you book an Expedia room, your room view may get blocked by a tree… All in all though we enjoyed our stay and the property location and would definitely return. The daybeds by the pool are also a great deal imo. In general, we would definitely recommend this hotel."

Top Kaupulehu Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"Best stay ever!!!"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"The resort is pristine. From the golf rides to the pool area to the shuttle to the shops, driving range to pool bar, and game room— there is no detail overlooked. The staff is friendly and kind, the housekeeping coming daily was such a luxury and all of the extra events were such a delightful bonus. My family had the best time! We stayed ten nights and never ran out of activities or got sick of the property. 5 ⭐️ across the board!"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"This is the first time I’ve stayed at a Hilton Village, it’s massive. The Tower is a long way from the parking lot, the boat wasn’t working but the tram was fine. We ended up walking instead, because the path is lovely. It has many pool areas and places just to sit and relax. Our Tower room was quite large and the balcony was perfect with a great view of the lagoon and the ocean. The only negative was it didn’t have another restaurants open every day, some of them closed too early. Sitting on the ocean in bar was what I could have done every day. They’re really losing out on a lot of income with a bar that stays open later. Otherwise, great trip and would stay there again."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers excellent facilities that are easy to use. It is ideally located on the main street with convenient access to a sandy beach that’s great for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Complimentary morning coffee, poolside drinks, souvenir water bottles, a seven‑stage water filtration dispenser on every floor, and beach chairs with parasols are all thoughtful touches. The only aspect that didn’t feel fully 5‑star was the front desk service, but overall the hotel deserves a 5‑star rating."
