Top Hawaii Island Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location was convenient. Room was clean. Toilets a bit loud when flushed. Held several events while there which made it a bit crowded."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"If youʻre traveling on a budget and still would like to experience the island vibe, I think Reedʻs Bay Hotel is the place for you. Being that Hilo does NOT have very many hotel options, they are either very pricey or affordable with very few in between, Reedʻs Bay Hotel has gained our hearts with our last stay. The view from our window was gorgeous overlooking the water on one side, the pool was clean and inviting, the staff was helpful and friendly and the location was absolutely convenient. Our only gripes were 1, there is no elevator so we had to walk up three flights of stairs, (but then again so do the workers who clean the rooms daily), and there is no AC which made it hard on my menopausing body, lol. On our visit the weather was gorgeous which made our room very hot. Fans were provided and so were blackout curtains but it was still hot. However, would we stay there again? Absolutely!!"

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Restaurant and bar on property had amazing views and the food was great! Especially breakfast. Hotel rooms sufficient and clean, just need an update eventually. Room views incredible."

Hilton Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"It was everything we saw online with the exception that the boat to travel the property has been out of service. Food options on resort not so good but off property was amazing. Did a fishing excursion and caught a 200# blue marlin amazing trip for sure for the first time being there"
