"Having a kitchen with a full size fridge and stove was awesome! The washer/dryer was another great resource to have in the room. There’s a free shuttle that comes every 30 minutes to take you to a destination in that area was great too. The pools are awesome. There was a section for 18+, 16+, and all ages. So if you don’t want to be in a “splash zone” you have that option. The food from the pool bar was yummy and was at a decent price. We are from Hilo and will definitely be planning another staycation here soon."
"many things to like about this resort but also few criticisms too.
A big highlight that was beneficial to our stay was the complimentary refillable water bottles. There are many refillable water stations throughout the resort and we took them out everyday around the island. Another amenity is the free shuttle rides throughout the Mauna Lea district for food options or entertainment. I did like the proximity to a private beach for snorkeling and/or swimming. I can't forget about the complimentary coffee at 5-6am.
For the critiques, I'd wish they had a bigger pool. It does get crowded and ppl are scrounging for lounge chairs. Other resorts have bigger pools with splash pads to give some fun for the kiddos. Also for the room, we found it difficult to live out of our suitcases since there isn't any drawer space. They have a lot of hanger space tho.
It is a very beautiful resort with many amenities to keep you busy. If I'm ever lucky to return to the big island, I wouldn't oppose a return"
