Hanalei Bayresort Lanai
The Fairways at Mauna Lani

The Fairways at Mauna Lani

This gated condo complex is made up of 21 six-unit buildings. The exteriors are sort of English manor meets Frank Lloyd Wright-goes-to-Hawai‘i. The garages are really too narrow to use—must have been designed by someone who owns a Smart Car. The only views here are...

Kona Coast Resort

Kona Coast Resort

Also known as Keauhou Gardens, this condo complex was built in multiple phases. The units in the first phase (where the rental pool comes from) can best be described with one word—large. Large kitchens, large bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and/or separate...

Kona Nalu

Kona Nalu

This is the condo oceanfront location you’ve been dreaming of. Their building sits right on the shoreline. Each unit has flawless ocean views from the master bedroom, as well as from the huge (300 sq. ft.) living room lanai. Open the drapes and the sliding glass...

Kumulani at Mauna Kea

Kumulani at Mauna Kea

These low-rise condo buildings in a gated complex house four units each. This was one of the earlier condos finished in the area, and it is very similar to Wai‘ula‘ula at Mauna Kea from the outside, but inside the finishes are not as upscale in these 2/2 units....

Kona Riviera Villa

Kona Riviera Villa

This small, gated condo consists of three buildings in very close proximity to each other. Only the front one and part of the middle one have views of the ocean. The property has a plantation feel, and is quaint but a bit cramped. There are no real grounds here....

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...

Volcano House

Volcano House

This hotel is located on the rim of Kilauea Caldera inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Reopened in 2013 after a three-year closure. Before that it was the longest “continually running” hotel in the state. Volcano House opened across the street in 1846 (which...

Wild Ginger Inn & Hostel

Wild Ginger Inn & Hostel

This is a budget traveler's kind of place, a little bit hotel, a little bit hostel. Private rooms have an empty fridge, microwave and TV; private hostel rooms have a full-size or bunk bed and shared bath. There's a shared kitchen in all categories. Towels, bedding...

White Sands Village

White Sands Village

This fairly old building is right across the street from White Sands Beach Park, which is usually swimmable. Nice pool and grounds. The buildings are adequately maintained. They get a few extra points for the beach proximity (but don’t expect much of an ocean view...

SCP Hotel Hilo

SCP Hotel Hilo

Update: The Hilo Seaside Hotel was sold and reopened as SCP Hotel Hilo. We will be back to re-review it as soon as can. Very clean, simple hotel (but very dated except the bedding) rooms across from the Ice Pond. Very warm staff that make the whole hotel feel...
