4 Star Hotels in Waikoloa CA $421

"The grounds are beautiful and green, expansive. They are midway through a phased renovation so you may get an old room or an updated room, no way to know until you get there. Self park ($45) day. The Tram. When you walk into the lobby it is expansive and impressive. However, when you realize you have to walk a half mile to your room to check in if in Ocean Towers, or wait 15-20 minutes for the tram, you are deflated. Especially if you've been traveling all day, like we had been. The tram is so SLOW! We stayed Monday to Saturday and overall we spent 6 hours on the Tram, or walking .5 mile to our room. Nowhere on the website for hotels.com does it mention this tram or the distance and situation for transport and relation to your room. The Kona Pool is spacious with plenty of seating. You do have to pay for shade in the form of a cabana. Floaties/ swim gear for sale at the shop, plus snack shop with ice cream/pizza. The pool water is cold and refreshing. Only 2 small jacuzzis at this pool and they are packed! Downer at the small adult pool, no jacuzzi! No shades. The coffee stop at Ocean towers is good for coffee and pastry, but food is mid to low quality. Nui italian is overpriced, but the pizza was detroit style and scrump. Big island breakfast, BOGO. There is a lot of "sorry for the inconvenience" at this hotel right now. You will do a lot of walking at this resort. The tram and distance to the rooms will prevent a repeat stay for me at this resort. "

"Spacious rooms, great for families, feels like second home"

"Super slow trams. Empty towel bins all over the property. Towers are extremely far from front desk and tram wait can be very long! Not ADA friendly as bridges all had stairs and going around them would take very long due to how massive the property is."

"The kitchen in our unit came equipped with everything we needed for cooking; it also had its own barbecue grill which was great for dinners in. The property is well laid out, parking is convenient to the unit and the whole resort feels very high end for an affordable family stay. "

"Good clean spacious living. Shower was broken, but management addressed that. Relatively affordable for Waikoloa."

"The person who checked us in at reception was very kind and helpful. We were given a resort view room"
