Top Makalawena Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

8/10 Good

"Stayed for our honeymoon over the 4th of July in 2026. Lobby is not fully enclosed - expect birds flying through your breakfast bar. Still, not a long walk from the boardwalks. It is a long walk from the bus stops, though, so maybe splurge for that car rental on the big island. Bog-standard passable hotel experience for budget travelers - no issues with bugs, mold, or smells. Skip the Thai place down the road and head a little further out, the food nearby is hit-or-miss. No place for bag storage for early check-ins, but the UPS store is like 5 blocks away in a pinch."

Fairmont Orchid

8/10 Good

"This property is certainly has comfortible rooms and excellent soaps and lotions in the rooms. Maid service 2x's per day is excellent! Where the property could use improvement: cleaner pools, with 24/7 access pools water feels like a lot of bodies have made the water mucky. Access to the Ocean bay is far too hot late in the afternoon and again the water is not clear. Maybe access in the morning?? Food is average and this would include Brown's their 5 Star restaurant. The view is beautiful, but the catch of the day was on the dry side and the desserts were average. Last item, washer/ dryer access. Loved the fact washer & dryer service was included in the resort fee, but 1 washer and 1 dryer on floors 1 and 3 for XXX number of guests.... impossible to get a load of laundry done! Need to invest in a washer/dryer room with at least a dozen machines. I would also recommend a 4th of July BBQ for guests with a some entertainment?? give guests a few options beside the Kona parade/fireworks and the rodeo in Waimea. Would I stay here again? Yes, but now i know what i know, and can plan around short comings of this property."

"There was several disruptions while staying there. They shut off the water unexpectedly twice, once without warning, but both times left my wing without functioning restrooms. There was major construction during my stay without warning. Likewise they entered to spray for pests without my consent. Nice property but very poorly managed…"

Hilton Waikoloa Village

8/10 Good

"This is a gorgeous resort. The lagoon was truly amazing. We snorkeled a lot and saw a lot of turtles and fish. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. My only complaint is that the room we booked was very expensive and I would have expected to have it serviced every day. However, the room was cleaned only every other day."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beware that if you request an ocean view room, you are likely going to get a large view of the lobby roof top and and tiny view of the ocean to the side. They were kind of sneaky about this. Some people are okay with a view of the roof top but if you are turned off by looking out and seeing a black flat surface for your ocean view. you really need to request an ocean view. pool was good as well as the restaurant"
