Top Mauna Kea Hotel Reviews

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean with a beautiful view. The pool was nice and used by all but would be nice to have some covered area for when it's sprinkling or raining to protect towels and such. Having the restaurant downstairs was also fantastic with excellent service. Front desk staff was helpful. Good location."

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. We enjoyed our stay. My son’s favorite thing was the lagoon. We saw turtles, sea lion, fishes and string ray in the lagoon."

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The beach is the best. Just about all negative aspects of the property are measured against the gorgeous water and wonderful beach. The room was a bit dated. Carpet looked tired, small roaches in bathroom sink area. The fat foam pillows are uncomfortable. They also put us in a room for disabled individuals but we were too tired to argue after three flights and a long rental drive at that point. The buffet is very good and staff are excellent. We don’t spend a lot of time in the room so no big deal in the room critique. BUT at 1k per day for a suite, it’s worth mentioning the rooms look tired."

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

10/10 Excellent

"The Staff were kind and helpful. Eva and Joey made you feel safe and welcomed and very helpful. good energy and clean kitchen and property."

Hamakua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hamakua was amazing. It was everything you could want in a boutique hotel. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept. The every room has an incredible view of gardens overlooking the Pacific. The staff, Belle and Sabrina were the best, If you are there for one of Chef Joseph’s meals don’t miss it!"
