OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa
Checkin was smooth, hotel was clean all around. No beach access. Not that many restaurant options for lunch. The pool restaurant took long, food was mediocre.

Kona Coast Resort
All the furnitures in the room are very aging and staff are not very professional as check-in is required to go to 2 different places and handled by different people which is fine, but kept trying to promote their other paid services or tours is not bringing a good experience.

Bathrooms need an overhaul. Kitchen was reasonably stocked, but over a 10-day stay we needed to request several items. Pool was wonderful
