Big Island Retreat
We had a WONDERFUL stay, rooms were comfortable and super clean!! You cannot see the ocean from the surfer room, but there is a wonderful outdoor kitchen/Lanai just up the stairs where we could see a mildly obstructed view of the ocean. We will def be back!

Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER
The place was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful and relaxing time. People were kind and helpful. The only reason this review is a 4 and not a 5 is the check-in process. I showed up around 10 PM in heavy rain. I was told that I had to check in at a different Outrigger property ...
