Kona Seaspray
This condo consists of two separate (and pretty different) buildings, the larger one and the smaller one. They had sold some units in the Reef building as condos. With their glorious location almost across the street from Kahalu‘u Beach Park, this is a good place...
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...
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...
Kona Hotel
This ultra-pink 1926 building is up at the 1,400 foot elevation level in Holualoa (above Kona town) where it may get chilly at night. It’s fallen into disrepair over the years, but new management is making an effort. However, it did have a musty smell to us on our...
Uncle Billy’s Kona Bay Hotel
If you’re just looking for a place to stay with no frills but a convenient downtown location, this may be worth considering. Rooms are very basic, but you may want to choose a Superior or Deluxe room because the beds are better, and you get fridge with a small...
Islands at Mauna Lani
Even with all the new area condos that went up after its construction, this continues to be a stunning property. The two-story townhouse-type units have high-end amenities (like Sub-Zero refrigerators), large bathrooms, bathtubs with bay windows, private garages...
Kona by the Sea
Adequately furnished condos (though some could use updating), quiet, with pleasant grounds. The pool has an adjacent sandy area that’s kind of nice. The oceanfront saltwater pool mentioned in Sights section is next to the grounds, but you have to access it...
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...
Kamuela Inn
This is a quaint inn that changed owners and managers in 2015. They renovated with fresh paint, new beds and furnishings. No phones (office phone available). Nice continental breakfast included. The setting is well-groomed and the staff is very helpful. If they are...
