Pineapple Park Kona

Pineapple Park Kona

This is a hostel that also rents gear for the beach since it is close to Kealakekua Bay. There are five rooms with shared baths, eight rooms that have their own bath, women-only dorms and a co-ed dorm in a scattering of three buildings with two shared kitchens....

Kahalu‘u Beach Villas

Kahalu‘u Beach Villas

These condo buildings, finished in 2008, sit right across the street from Kahalu‘u Beach Park and have some decent ocean views from most units. The elevated infinity edge pool faces the beach across the street, giving you the illusion of the ocean at the pool’s...

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel is one of best hotels on Banyan Drive at the moment (though that in itself is not worth tons of bragging rights). Their location overlooking Coconut Island affords them nice views. The rooms and bathrooms are fresh and modern, still in keeping...

Holualoa Inn

Holualoa Inn

What a great find this inn is! This 30-acre property in Holualoa town above Kona began its life in 1978 as the vacation retreat for Thurston Twigg-Smith, publisher of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper, and his eight children. It was remodeled in 1987 to a...

Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

The Hapuna was built near (but not in front of) one of the best beaches on the island and is owned by the same company that owns the nearby Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Their kitty-corner location denies the resort the true beachfront designation the Mauna Kea has, but...

Vista Waikoloa

Vista Waikoloa

Considering the caliber of these condos and the fact they're in Kohala, it's a pretty good deal. Units are large and nicely furnished, the layout is pleasing, grounds are well-groomed at this gated property. Many bathrooms have nice, deep tubs. Ocean views aren’t...

Dolphin Bay Hotel

Dolphin Bay Hotel

We find this hotel quaint and comforting. It helps that it's one of the better bargain hotels in Hilo. Rooms are clean and have complete kitchens. No phone in your room, but you can always use the one in the lobby. The coqui frog problem here is particularly...

Royal Sea-Cliff Resort

Royal Sea-Cliff Resort

This condominium is run similarly to a hotel, though units are individually owned and half are timeshare. Condos are fairly large. Note from the aerial photo that the middle rooms, though many are called “Partial Ocean View,” have poor ocean views. (Think of the...

Villages at Mauna Lani
Villages at Mauna Lani

Villages at Mauna Lani

Wow! We almost didn’t want to leave these condos and doubt you’ll want to either. Most buildings in this gated property are two units attached—either single-story or townhouse style. They are huge, ranging from 2,174–2,752 sq. ft. and feel more like a...
