“Great hotel for the price”

The hotel was great! Very clean and well maintained, although the hot tub was out of service the week we went (they said it had been for awhile) and the appliances in the kitchen needed updating.

“great stay”

sixth time we have stayed here for our island getaway, can't find a better spot. we have stayed in all of the other hotels on this side of the island, and we find the Shores to be to be more comfortable than them. i highly recommend staying here, whether just a couple. or a whole family. the entire staff at the Shores, from the front desk to the groundskeepers are so friendly, you can't ask for more.

“good location”

We had a good stay but did not get the king size bed we requested. Ocean front room was noisy and needed to close window at night. Night club on lower floor so stay high up. Breakfast mediocre but liked the lunch boxes.

“Felt like never to leave the place”

We lived in a two bedroom condo at this hotel. It was a perfect home away from home for a family of 4. The condo had washer, dryer, dish washer, kitchen appliances (Rice cooker, coffee maker), and utensils that made our stay very comfortable. The décor of our condo was immaculate. The most enjoyable part of this condo was a verandah, where we spent some of our evenings relaxing and while seeping beverages. Kids enjoyed Tennis. The swimming pool is kind of small, but we did not use it any way as the local beaches are so close to this resort community. Why use chlorinated water when you have natural, turquoise water so close by?

“Overall a Good Hotel”

This hotel/condo is well situated in the middle of other major hotels. There's the King's Shop down the street, great place for a little shopping and a bite to eat. Just up about 4-5 miles is the famous Hapuna Beach among other great beaches. Our 2nd floor condo was very spacious, clean, and comfortable, almost like home. I highly recommend getting a room on the 2nd floor for more privacy. The full kitchen is stocked with utensils, dishes, etc. It even has a washer and drier...a definite plus. On the down side, this condo is about 20 miles from local stores and good night life. And it doesn't have the full service and amenities of a major hotel. What it is is a nice comfortable home away from home.

“Excellent facility - Highly recommend for families with kids”

“Would recommend!”

We enjoyed our stay at The Shores at Waikoloa! Liked the furnishings and the location--near golf courses. And at the end of the day, we fell into a very comfortable bed. Shopping nearby and in Kona--about 20 minutes away. Alot of resturants available in all price ranges.

“I'd retire here if I could.”

On the 1st night we found the mattress to be as hard as a rock. The next day I complained and they installed a 4" mattress pad that I believe was similar to memory foam and that worked well. They need to invest in a better quality mattress. The carpet had large stains that should be addressed. And the bathroom fixtures need updating. No major problems other than what I would call updating. They need to update the TV to a flat screen versus the old 25" tube type and install a 2nd TV in the bedroom. Beyond these items, all else was great. Great pool and jacuzzi that we had to ourselves most of the 2 weeks there. First time using a condo type hotel and it was very convenient having a washer and dryer in the room. Great lanai. Very quiet surroundings. The housekeeping service was great. All in all, for the cost it is a great deal. Very safe security fences complex with 4 diamond hotels surrounding Aston Shores. Buzz's Surf & Sand Grill right outside the security fence is a fantastic 5 star restaurant. Hotel registration desk was very nice and helpful. They gave me 2 weeks of cable internet service for the cost of one week. We would stay here again.

“Expensive but nice”

Climbing into the bathroom was dangerous; otherwise was a very nice stay.

“Aston Shores at Waikoloa”

Hotel is very comfortable. The beach is great for kids. You can see sea turtles. It's very quite, no nightlife, no bars and ony a handful of restaurants. Kona is a 45 minute drive away.
