Top Puako Bay Hotel Reviews

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."

Serene 3BR Puako Estate P10D – Beachfront Access & Tranquil Living

10/10 Excellent

"The setting of this beautiful home couldn’t be better: a gorgeous beach, perfect sunsets and sparkly night skies with shooting stars. The house is so comfortable with separate and private bedroom suites, a great kitchen, dining and living areas. Just perfect. The kitchen cabinets and drawers, and the laundry area were so precisely labeled and well stocked with every last thing you needed or would have wanted. We were all so grateful to have found this beautiful and comfortable home for our Big Island vacation."

Puako Condo 102 ~ Ground Floor Unit ~ Pool

"The unit is very clean close to the beach partial views from the back patio area does come with a gas grill. AC was useful bedrooms are very spacious. Our host.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this for 6 adults and 3 children. It was awesome! We loved being so close to the beach that we could swim in the pool then head to the beach and vice versa. The house itself was gorgeous. The airway living spaces takes some getting used to on the hotter months, but it was really cool and we totally could enjoy outdoor/indoor living. The staff was incredibly kind and the house was totally set up especially for babies/young kids. We had an awesome week wouldn’t change a thing!"

Oct dates are $325 off the normal rate! AC, Ocean front!

10/10 Excellent

"The location is amazing. A quiet neighborhood with a sandy beach, sunset views, tide pools, coral and lava reefs, artistic driftwood, and shade trees. The house has good bones and everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. It felt like a home away from home. The grounds are immaculate, colorful, and welcoming to wildlife.2 Papaya's went above and beyond to facilitate our family needs (Thank you Mary!!)."

BEACHFRONT HOME 2 acres, Pool, Tennis, Volleyball. Like your own private resort!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was outstanding. Thank you to the owner, Andrew and our local contact, Leah for making everything perfect. The home and the grounds had everything, felt just like home, down to the Toto toilets, Sonos sound system and home automation. With 9 adults ages mid 30's to early 70's plus four kids under 10, there was plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax and the kids be active. Nearby beaches were good and groceries available nearby. We all had a great time and expect to book again next year."
