"Westin Bonvoy is basically the "middle tier" of the Hilton, Westin, IHG triad (with Hilton worst and IHG best across whichever tier of hotel you stay at, in my opinion). This resort was very well kept however, and the pools and rooms were clear. The staff was very friendly and helpful and, surprisingly, it was a fairly quiet hotel, too, which I really appreciated. You want to relax...not listen to constant blaring music. It also didn't overdo the Hawaiian theme, which I also liked. The main restaurant was Spanish, and quite good. The beach is exquisite. If I had a minor complaint it was that most of the food was grossly overpriced. The standard black coffee at breakfast was $8. Come on. I think they got us for about $600 worth of food for two people over two days. So just factor that into your total costs. There aren't many food options outside of the hotel, either. Closest town is 30 mins away."
"Gorgeous setting and a nicely appointed house - had everything we needed! Communication through text/email for the check-in process was very straightforward. Our kids had a blast playing in the waterfall and sleeping in the loft. The stargazing is AMAZING if you get a clear night. This was a perfect, peaceful home base for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island!"
"The ac works great , the room was extremely nice and clean. Room has both blinds and curtains. It is above Paul’s cafe which has great food.
It is central in Hilo and most things are within walking distance. Farmers market is just down the street.
It’s a small quaint hotel with nice rooms, plenty of parking.
You should enjoy it as much as we did."
"Definitely stay here! The rooms are lovely as are the hosts. It's right on the water, a short walk or drive to the main shops & farmers market. Also a short drive to many lovely beaches. The breakfast was incredible - and they even accomodated gluten-free. Really great overall, great deal and we'll stay again if on Hilo!"
"The room came with an amazing view and had good facilities. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it would've been lovely with the sunset. The kitchenette was well stocked and the room and hostel was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for someone to stay here."
