"Luau was lack luster. NOT the dancers they were great. The food was terrible, the venue was hot and no air felt like a swamp. Should consider having on a lawn on the beach with some fresh air. It definitely isn’t worth the price. Big disappointment"

"My family and I had a very nice stay at the Outrigger in Kona. The hotel was close to everything yet far enough away from downtown Kona that it felt peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed the hotel room, the gym, and the beautiful area surrounding the hotel. We had one problem with our air conditioner that was quickly resolved by the hotel staff."

Holua Resort

Holua Resort

8/10 Good
"Wow! This property was exceptional - room was a 2 bedroom with king bed in one and two twins in the other (as was requested- so thankful). Kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools/utensils, plates, silverware, etc. Even had a small cooler to use. Was very spacious and so very clean!! Things I did not know - this is a vacation property and at check in the concierge will meet with you to set up a timeshare/vacation rental presentation at one of their properties. This was not something I was expecting or had time for - they were very gracious when I did not want to schedule. Only true cons (just to prep you) - (1) parking is quite a walk from where you will stay - so plan accordingly for unpacking and walking up; (2) and the location is not truly near anything like grocery store, restaurants, etc. All in all - would stay again if I were staying for a longer vacation as it is an excellent home base."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makalawena?
The best areas for staying near Makalawena are along the Kohala Coast, particularly in resorts around Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach.These resort areas are designed for convenience and quality, offering a range of accommodations from luxury hotels to vacation rentals. They provide easy access to dining, shopping, and high-end amenities like golf courses and spas. While Makalawena Beach itself is undeveloped and requires a bit of effort to reach, staying nearby means you have comfortable lodging after a day of exploring the natural beauty.For couples seeking a relaxing and upscale retreat, the resorts in the Mauna Lani area are an excellent fit. This area is known for its beautiful beachfront properties, fine dining options, and recreational activities like golf and snorkeling. It provides a luxurious base from which to explore the island, including Makalawena's pristine shores.Families will find the Waikoloa Beach Resort area particularly accommodating. This district features larger resorts with amenities suited for all ages, including expansive pools, diverse dining options, and cultural activities.
When is the best time to go to Makalawena?
The best time to visit Makalawena is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to November, when the weather is consistently pleasant, and the area is less crowded.These periods offer warm temperatures, typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, making it ideal for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities. You'll experience less rainfall and calmer ocean conditions, superb for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. This time is particularly good for couples seeking a tranquil and unhurried escape, as they can enjoy the natural beauty without the peak season crowds.While December to March is also popular for its cooler, drier weather, it coincides with peak tourist season, leading to higher prices and more people. Families traveling with children might find the shoulder seasons more appealing due to better availability of accommodations and a more relaxed pace.
