Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

Kanaloa at Kona by OUTRIGGER

8/10 Good
"The room we stayed in said it was a partial ocean view. When looking out the sliding glass doors from the living room, we had more of an ocean view than we were expecting. We also had partial ocean views when looking out from both bedrooms. The property has 3 pools and one of them is a quiet pool, which is the one we used the most. We arrived after hours and the security guy was helpful with showing us where the condo was located and then we were able to go the next morning to finish checking in."

Aloha Crater Lodge

Aloha Crater Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Shannon, the property owner, was so kind and generous to us. She offered to let us use a kitchen in another room so we could cook, and she let us know when the volcano was poppin. She also held on to a long-sleeve shirt, a pair of shorts, underwear, and a T-shirt that my husband left behind, haha. The lodge is funky and eclectic, which was perfect for us because it's unique and interesting! For example, in one of our rooms there was a fish pond! Just an FYI: the upstairs honeymoon suite does not have a shower, but it does have a jetted tub. We moved to the pond room for the rest of our stay because we wanted a shower. The location is 5 minutes from the park entrance, and each room has dedicated parking. Breakfast is not cooked for you, but the rooms are stocked with kona coffee, some slices of banana bread, oatmeal, ramen packets, etc."

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."
