Top Makalawena Hotel Reviews

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a family get together of 13 people and had an amazing time catching up with each other and explore the island where our grandmother grew up and lived. Coming back to the resort felt like home and had everything there we needed. Love this place and plan on coming back soon"

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to take a family vacation."

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Rooms very nice, well equipped. Only issue was there were no cushions or cabanas set up at the pool area. Understandably, they were preparing for a looming tropical storm but it was way after they all clear was given to the area and still nothing set up"

Aston Kona by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and clean. The ocean view with balcony was wonderful. There isn’t any walkable beach or ocean swimming at the resort, but the pool is good and It has good ocean views. Along side the pool are some barbecues and eating area. The kitchen was more then adequate and well supplied."

Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The location was great — within easy walking distance to Kings’ Shops and Queens’ Marketplace, with plenty of options for breakfast, dinner, and shopping. The beach was beautiful, calm, and protected, which made it perfect for swimming. The pools were great as well. The staff was wonderful throughout our stay — everyone was kind, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, we loved everything about the hotel and would definitely stay here again!"

Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean! Staff is so friendly, food and drinks are expensive so be prepared for that but overall the best resort on the Island!"

Club Wyndham Kona

10/10 Excellent

"Was a beautiful property...will be back!!"

Paniolo Greens At Waikoloa

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying in this place. It feels like home."

Holua Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice place. I was actually pleasantly surprised considering the price was more in line with a hotel rather than a resort. I did not realize though, that it is a time share and i was asked to attend a 90 minute presentation which i did not go to. I would stay there again with no hesitation."
