Top Kaupulehu Hotel Reviews

PACIFIC 19 Kona

8/10 Good

"It's not a resort; it's a hotel. There shouldn't be an amenities fee. The $25 was not disclosed by Expedia. The remodel was not artfully done in my room, but it was comfortable."

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the hotel for the first time and our stay was outstanding. You could text the front desk for help and they responded back fast. The tram helps instead of walking. The free shuttle to the nearby shopping centers was very useful. The dolphin show was amazing. The buffet breakfast was great. I highly recommend this place. I would stay there again"

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a perfect location on the public beach. We loved spending time on the sandy beach. There are countless things to do in the area. I wish beach chairs and an umbrella would have been included at no charge. We enjoyed the pool area right next to the beach."

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had three issues with our stay: The Outrigger is adding a Dukes restaurant -so there was lots of construction noise and debris. Would have been nice if this was disclosed. The Outrigger’s real name is the Outrigger Resort and Spa - but there was no Spa. Just a hotel room that was converted to a Spa. That is not that the same as a real Spa. Would have been nice is this was disclosed. The air conditioner stopped working on two of our four nights - so it was uncomfortably warm those nights. No apology or compensation offered by the front desk, when I complained."
