Look for a nice spot to sit, kick back and simply enjoy the sound of the water lapping at the shore at Waiakalua Beach. If you need a dose of vitamin sea, this is the place to get your fix.

Waiakalua Beach is an interesting place to begin your day of discovery in Kilauea. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other attractions like Anini Beach, Princeville Botanical Gardens, and Kilauea Lighthouse to fully experience what the area has to offer.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

The property is just old and the rooms are very small for two non married people even though they had two beds. They try hard to keep it clean but remodeling is necessary. All in all it was a good stay
