10/10 Excellent
"The owners (different than the host) are the best! They made sure that we have everything we need to make our stay comfortable and stress-free as our house in Ka’u was damaged by Hurricane Lala. The Nene Room was beautiful, clean and peaceful with its large picture window overlooking the serene forest. We also stayed in Gecko room that has one bedroom, living room, and kitchen. The Gecko room is comfortable and perfect for family and longer stays. The surrounding is quiet and close to stores, restaurants, and very close proximity to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park."

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Facility is a bit outdated. Loved the power/heated toilet! Bathtub was significantly chipped and has seen better days. Room was good sized, bathroom was nice. In-room mini fridge and coffee service was a plus. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The 'adult' pool is in the middle of the buildings, which means it gets VERY limited sun. The 'everyone' pool is shallow--I don't think it got above 3.5 or 4 feet--and the water temp was in the 90s. The sandy zero-depth entry for the kids spread pebbles everywhere, not fund for us old folks who don't walk around outside that often with no shoes on, and especially not on rocks."

Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village

Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village

10/10 Excellent
"Our August stay (after LaLa) at the Club Wyndham Mauna Loa was great! Recommend to others. Location: two blocks from Keauhou Bay where you can book many water activities like boat, fishing, kayak & snorkel tours for reasonable cost. The bay is a bit rocky but access is good for swimming, suggest aqua/river shoes; lots of fish. (Negnote: the locals should pack out there beer cans/trash at the BBQ area; yes we made a cursory attempt to pack some cans out.) Locals craft market fair nearby is very nice. Staff: Check in staff were great, they have a small snack/drink area. It is an established timeshare but no "hardsell" sales were made. Caleb was actually really helpful with info about the property with local grocery, food, activities, info etc.; Thanks. Accommodations: Our 1 bedroom suite for 4 was great, clean, functional, nice kitchen, A/C (living room & bedroom), 2 flat TV's, refrigerator/plenty of ice, blender, coffee maker, ceiling fan, comfy bed. Parking was underground - shaded. Many nice pools to choose from, water is warm, great sunsets, lots of colorful birds. Golf, tennis, racket & pickle ball available. We rented a car but; onsite bikes with baskets & you could go to to local markets. A shuttle/carpool to Kona would be nice where parking is $12.50 per hour NO CASH - no cell service NO PARKING; goes for a lot local beaches too. Embrace more Solar Power. Beware of the billionaires kicking out millionaires. Mahalo."
