Top Kaupulehu Hotel Reviews

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent except property was showing it’s age"

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for a business event. The hotel was amazing! Clean room, public areas, pool, and bathrooms; helpful and kind staff, The beach on site was so beautiful and easy to access for morning sunrise exercise and evening relaxation. The resort fee includes an hour of snorkeling gear and beach chairs and umbrella. I think you also get a free drink, but I didn’t use it. 10/10 experience here."

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the balcony full oceanfront view!!! Best room of all. Was able to see the manta rays from my room. The staff was amazing but Leo at the front desk made my week. He went above and beyond to make sure me and my wife had a wonderful stay not just at Outrigger, but the overall Big Island. The food and drinks were exceptionally delicious as well as the views from the Voyager 47 Lounge. The Fire Luau was the greatest show on earth! I also enjoyed the Farmers Market Friday event. I like how Outigger was basically a gather spot for all events. Although there was construction, I would definitely stay here again!!!"

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Westin Bonvoy is basically the "middle tier" of the Hilton, Westin, IHG triad (with Hilton worst and IHG best across whichever tier of hotel you stay at, in my opinion). This resort was very well kept however, and the pools and rooms were clear. The staff was very friendly and helpful and, surprisingly, it was a fairly quiet hotel, too, which I really appreciated. You want to relax...not listen to constant blaring music. It also didn't overdo the Hawaiian theme, which I also liked. The main restaurant was Spanish, and quite good. The beach is exquisite. If I had a minor complaint it was that most of the food was grossly overpriced. The standard black coffee at breakfast was $8. Come on. I think they got us for about $600 worth of food for two people over two days. So just factor that into your total costs. There aren't many food options outside of the hotel, either. Closest town is 30 mins away."
