Top Puako Bay Hotel Reviews

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The overall appearance and amenities were excellent. Some minor issues included one restaurant that typically serves breakfast was closed so the breakfast took place further away at the finer dining restaurant. That made our anniversary dinner experience a little less special because we were eating there every morning. The room was cleaned daily but some areas were less than clean like corners of bathroom and tile in shower etc. The beach was very nice and the pools were as well. Food was pretty good. Drinks overpriced as expected. Meridia was actually a great meal. We booked way in advance for our anniversary and initially the host attempted to seat us in an enclosed area with larger parties. I requested a sunset view along the glass barrier and was accommodated quickly. The wine we ordered was no longer in stock and alternate was suggested and was pretty good. There are lots of stairs on property and we didn’t mind the walking. We chose a garden view lanai king room knowing we would not have a view due to others explaining there is a huge residential property in front of the Westin that impedes on the ocean view unless you are in the south section top floor. We were out and about most of our ten days and that didn’t matter to us. We utilized the valet parking which actually costs $41.50 per day but $40.00 as we thought. Keep in mind tipping the valet in addition adds up. We would return to this property based on the overall experience and location."

Stunning Puako Bay Hideaway - 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, Sleeps 11

10/10 Excellent

"The home is absolutely beautiful, spacious and is well stocked with everything you would need. My family and I spent so much time on the lanai enjoying the beautiful view and the pool. We utilized the access to the Mauna Lani Fitness Center as well as their beach which was perfect for snorkeling. We had paddle boards delivered to the property that we used right off the beach in front. The water was so calm. The coffee and the malasadas from the food trucks on the corner of Hwy 19 were delicious! We had an amazing time and would highly recommend a stay here."

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was outstanding. Thank you to the owner, Andrew and our local contact, Leah for making everything perfect. The home and the grounds had everything, felt just like home, down to the Toto toilets, Sonos sound system and home automation. With 9 adults ages mid 30's to early 70's plus four kids under 10, there was plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax and the kids be active. Nearby beaches were good and groceries available nearby. We all had a great time and expect to book again next year."
