My wife and I needed a clean comfortable place to stay in Waimea and Waimea Country Lodge delivered beyond our expectations. Pay no attention to older reviews. This is a place completely transformed. The owners delivered an impeccably clean environment. The remodeled rooms show as brand new in every respect from floors to plumbing fixtures to beautiful countertops and a spacious feel. Wonderful high ceilings, kitchenette including silver and plate wear, beautiful HOT shower, comfortable beds, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, flat screen, etc. all made our stay as pleasant as it could be. Has the outside feel of an old style country motel, but the rooms are fully designed to accommodate modern expectations. Staff was incredibly friendly. Had a non-refundable reservation and called last minute to switch our arrival date and they could not have been more polite or accommodating. Nicely located in the heart of Waimea, this lodge is a hidden gem for people touring the island and needing a clean beautifully-appointed room at a very reasonable price. We are seasoned travelers with multiple stays on the Big Island. Thanks for becoming our go-to lodging choice for future stays in Waimea.

The service is poor, the guests who are not very good at the language are not patient enough. The front desk does not look at the order carefully. If I have already paid the full amount of the room, I will re-collect it once! Bad review!

A review of the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort: My family and I recently completed a vacation stay at the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. Overall, the resort is wonderful with a few rough edges. The resort is located on the west side of the Big Island, about 30 miles north of the airport -- with ”island traffic” plan on 30-45 minutes if you need to travel down into Kona. This resort takes full advantage of its beach location, which is consistently rated one of world's best. Hapuna Beach is an amazing long crescent-shaped beach great for swimming and snorkeling (near the coral at the edges of the beach. We saw turtles, octopus, and a wide variety of fish). The beach is perfect for families with children, though the water can get a little rough if the trade winds are blowing. Check-in was smooth and efficient. My elite membership was recognized as well as my birthday during our visit. We were offered points of elite breakfast credit, which included continental breakfast for two in Ikena Landing. Upon arriving to our room, we were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and assorted goodies for our celebration. Our room was clean and well-appointed. We were staying on a points redemption, so no SNA option. We had a ”partial” ocean view room but I suspect we were given an ocean view room because we had a wonderful view of the ocean and resort grounds. According to front desk personnel, the resort did have a handful of ”lanai” rooms near the ground level with no view whatsoever, including a small number of no-view suites. We had a spacious bathroom with shower and tub; also a wonderful lanai with a table & chairs along with a comfortable outdoor couch perfect for lounging in the evening with a beverage while watching the sunset. All service requests through the chat function were promptly met and taken care of throughout our visit. Note, this resort also had a free guest laundry facility with detergent and other supplies -- perfect if you pack light or just want to clean off your swimsuits before you head home. Our main gripe relates to the food & beverage offerings and service. The resort's dinner restaurant, Meridia, takes full advantage of the resort views and location. Unfortunately, that's about all it has going for it. For the price point, the food was marginal and service was lacking. For a similar price point, I'd suggest heading up-country to Merriman's for terrific farm-to-table food and great service. As I mentioned, we received elite continental breakfast for two at Ikena Landing, each morning. Upgrade to the full buffet was offered for an additional $25 per person. Prices were steep for breakfast. Servers were friendly but took a while to get food out at times. I would recommend, particularly families working within a budget, to try Piko Coffee Bar. Piko has much better coffee options throughout the day and also offers a variety of hot/cold grab-and-go options (at breakfast, eggs, hash browns and breakfast meats, pas

At night, the arrival time is particularly dark, and the room is a little scary. The next day, I came together to discover that the environment is super beautiful. Two bedrooms, one living room, kitchen and dining room, traditional American style. The kitchen is fully equipped, except for the rice cooker and the kettle. But it is enough! After living for three days, I can cook myself very happy every day! Looking out the window is a green oil, there is a turkey in the morning to visit, feed them bread every day, and have breakfast with us. The only thing is to live on the first floor. There are ants in the gap between the wooden frames in the bathroom. The bathtub must not be soaked. It can only be showered, and the shower water is slightly smaller. But the overall environment is not bad, the price is very high, it is more convenient than the hotel in Hilton and the room is bigger, more free than the hotel, and there is no need to clean up the house for the owner. Suitable for the whole family to play together.

Somehow why Ctrip scores so low. Basically, when I go out, I choose hotels above 3,000 yuan. This one really surprises me. Xanadu is average. recommend. The swimming pool is good, parent-child. Oshima and Honolulu are completely different and quite good.

We had anticipated this trip for a few years, which we postponed twice due to COVID. Our trip to Kohala Suites and the Big Island was EXCELLENT. Everyone at the HGVC was friendly and helpful. The grounds are amazing and beautiful. I am planning a return trip because 7 days wasn't enough time. We could have stayed much longer. The Island and people are spectacular and the resort was a great place to stay when we needed to rest and have some down time. I highly recommend this Kohala Suites and the Hilton properties in the area. The shuttle bus to to the Lagoon at the large Hilton Hotel was convenient and I just cannot say enough about the positive experience our whole family and our guests enjoyed.

Nestled along the serene shores of Waikoloa, the Hilton Waikoloa Village is a haven of luxury and tranquility. Our recent stay at this breathtaking resort was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the impeccable service, stunning accommodations, and picturesque surroundings. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. The check-in process was smooth, and to our delight, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a Royal Suite in the palace tower. Stepping into our suite, we were greeted by spacious elegance and panoramic views of the beach and lagoon. Every detail, from the plush furnishings to the tasteful decor, exuded luxury and comfort. The grounds of the Hilton Waikoloa Village are a true testament to paradise. Meticulously maintained gardens, winding pathways, and cascading waterfalls create an oasis of serenity amidst the lush landscape. We spent hours exploring the resort, discovering hidden gems around every corner. Whether lounging by the pool, strolling along the sandy shores, or indulging in a rejuvenating spa treatment, every moment was a blissful escape from reality. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the friendly greetings to the attentive care, every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Whether offering recommendations for dining or arranging memorable excursions, their genuine hospitality made our experience truly unforgettable. As seasoned travelers who have explored destinations around the globe, we can confidently say that our time at the Hilton Waikoloa Village surpassed all expectations.
