Top Kaupulehu Hotel Reviews

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot with a cool lagoon to snorkel in"

Kona Coast Resort

6/10 Okay

"Staff was friendly. No housekeeping during our stay. Room was very large and quite outdated. We noticed some reviews mentioning cockroaches but we decided to try it out. We found a few dead cockroaches during our stay. The room had a strange smell as well. The amenities were nice, we enjoyed a hula show and learn to hula class. We were allowed an early check in and they held our luggage after check out. Overall very average and they likely have a cockroach problem. "

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Great location Friendly staff Beach access Cons: Dated rooms $35 per day parking Oceanview room (balcony) very limited even when leaning over balcony rail We stayed for 6 days and had mixed feelings for reasons above. We expected more from the Marriot brand. Room and bathroom was small with lime scale on the shower track and old chipped paint on door jams and other areas. The double queen room had a single nightstand between the beds. The website said the room was "oceanview (balcony)" which cost more. The ocean could only be seen from one chair on the balcony and that was very limited even when hanging your head over the balcony. Housekeeping was every other day. The location was very central and walkable to many restaurants and shops. Staff was very friendly. Especially at the pool. "

Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"Our check in was incredible. We got to check in early, we requested an upgrade and were given a room that was available. They left us a gift in our room for our Babymoon. The staff were exceedingly friendly at every level, and the room servicing was efficient and amazing. We had a wonderful spa day during our stay and our only note there is that it’s only missing a cold plunge. Food was amazing at Brown’s and the breakfast buffet is really good as well as the happy hour —shoutout to Christian at the bar who made us a custom drink and wrote it down so we could request it even when he wasn’t on shift. Great snorkeling with complimentary equipment for 1 hour (which is more than enough to see all the amazing fish, coral, and sea turtles). Very family friendly and we can’t wait to come back with our kids."
