Auckland (AKL) to Kailua-Kona (KOA)
4.2/5 Very Good! (34 reviews)
We were greeted with a gift at reception and the check in process was smooth.
Our room was spacious with a really comfortable bed, and a large balcony.
The decor was a little dated but we loved the room, the quiet, and the space.
The pools and surrounding areas were absolutely beautiful, and there were basketball and tennis courts as well.
Paid parking was $25 per day which was a bit high (the Royal Kona which e stayed at after this, was only $18 per day).
The grounds are ridiculously beautiful and the walk along the coastline in front of the resort is stunning.
There is also a manta ray viewing platform with spotlights for night viewing.

It is a super large resort, almost like a theme park, with tram and boat transportation options. You can literally just stay insides the hotel for a week. We saw turtles in the lagoon. They also have dolphin activities.

awesome staff when expedia messed up on a package deal and did not send them confirmation email to confirm our booking-the Fairmont staff stepped in and sorted everything out, in spite of very unhelpful reaction from expedia customer service person's suggestion that we can move to another property! Fairmont fabulous! Expedia stinks!

3.5/5 Good! (311 reviews)
We stayed at the Ocean Town for 2 nights in January 2022. We couldn't be happier with our experience at this resort.
We originally reserved Oceanfront room with 2 double beds, but looks like they were out of that type of room, so they put us in an Ocean view suite with a king size bed, which turned out to be fantastic! 1 to their customer service.
This resort is made up of 4 towers/hotels, all sharing the same main lobby. From the main lobby, one needs to take a light rail to the Ocean Tower. You can also walk through the resort, which is about 20 min walk. You'll walk through a museum section of the resort which has a large collection of arts (painting and statues). The light rail ride itself is very relaxing and has nice views. The only complaint is it runs a bit slow.
The resort has a fairly large connected pond system with tropical fishes. One of these ponds have dolphins. You can pay to get close photos with the dolphins (called the Dolphin Quest), or there's plenty of places around the pond to see the dolphins. There's also a cafe with outdoor seating area overlooking the dolphin pond.
Overall, this is exactly the Hawaii experience we've been looking for, and we couldn't be happier that we chose this resort.
