10/10 Excellent
"Had the best week stay here at the Kona Coast Resort. I would definitely recommend it to others. Everyone was so friendly and quick to respond to housekeeping services. The little restaurant up by the check-in office is delicious. We had breakfast there almost everyday. The location so super convenient. We were 5 minutes away from the beach we spent the most time snorkeling at and 15 min from some amazing restaurants with beautiful sunset views. Thank you a great experience!!"

"This was a great hotel! My family and I wished we could have extended our stay just so we could have taken advantage of the activities that were offered like the lei making and cultural tour. The gardens were so pretty and we loved the benches and Adirondack chairs randomly around the property. The slide was super fun and the views were spectacular! Will definitely book with Outrigger again!"
