Top Makalawena Hotel Reviews

Holua Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were warm and professional, and the amenities were thoughtfully provided. It was an ideal base for resting and exploring the Big Island."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing pool with waterslides, basketball and volleyball, kiddy beach and adult areas, something for everyone. We loved having a kitchen and the propane grills outside (just get groceries in Kona or pay a premium). Hard to beat breakfast with a view on the patio. The area is very peaceful and beautiful. The staff were super helpful, always checking in on any needs. Beds were so comfortable and soft. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel, we really felt like we were enjoying a luxurious Hawaiian lifestyle."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here twice and this hotel is really special! The downtown shopping and restaurant area, is literally right there…you can walk to everything from this hotel. The property itself, is lovely — with lots shops, an ABC store, coffee shop, restaurant, as well as pool, bar and small beach. For me, the best thing is all the beautiful artwork and history surrounding King Kamehameha, his family and heirs. Hawaii has a rich history, and it’s on display at this hotel! The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. I will stay again!"

Paniolo Greens At Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"Although our room wasn’t ready at the check-in time we were able to checkout an hour later.. Thank you… The rooms were clean and the kitchen provided all the necessary equipment to prepare meals for our family.. The pool was perfect for families, especially the little ones. Location of the hotel is conveniently located near white sand beaches, shopping and dining. A perfect family staycation!"

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at the resort and LOVED my room. The walkways offered a museum feel and provided something to look at each day. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. I wish the Tram was faster but that is my only complaint. I ate off the resort so I cant comment on the food, but loved the availability of the shuttles to the shopping centers and the Lava Lava Club."
