Recent Reviews in Makalawena

OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Beautiful resort but still needs a lot of maintenance. The most frustrating part was paying the resort fee and parking fee, but watching many local residents use the facilities freely. The family pool was overcrowded with residents, not guests. The pools were supposed to close at 10PM, but on our evening walks we saw a lot of inappropriate behavior in the pools. Wondering how the facility is monitored, because it didn’t seem like there was any rule enforcement."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village

8/10 Good

"Loved the hotel & lagoon. The pools weren’t big enough for our taste but we enjoyed the property. Room was lovely & quiet. Chairs were very worn but not uncomfortable or gross. Only major deal breaker for us was that the ocean tower was a 15 minute walk from the entrance. No way to drive over. There is a monorail type tram that came about every 20 minutes but did not run 24hrs. It sucked toting all of our gear back and forth to our jeep every day. Otherwise it was a very cool hotel."

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is our third time staying here. We love how spacious the room is. The bedroom, laundry, dining area, second bathroom, kitchen, and balcony really make for a relaxing homey stay. The only thing that could be better is if we could get a room with an ocean view someday. Those seem to be reserved for Timeshare owners. The location is great too, just up the hill are some nice restaurants and down the hill is Kahalu’u beach and 20min south is Kona coffee country! We’ll be back!"

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

8/10 Good

"The property is beautifully maintained and very serene. I loved being close to both the ocean and the pool with the little one being the priority. The staff go above and beyond and the kids camp was wonderful for my granddaughter. Areas that need improvement, the good is not of the caliber it should be. Management spoke to me and I know that they are trying, but it was a disappointment, especially when you’re so far from other dining establishments. Housekeeping also fell down in quality after the first 4 days. Coffee supplies but refilled, towels not replaced and the room wasn’t cleaned or vacuumed on several occasions. One day, the room was made up and turn down showed up at the same time, 4:30. Overall, a beautiful property"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makalawena?

The best area to stay near Makalawena is along the Kohala Coast, particularly around Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach Resort, as Makalawena itself is a protected natural area with no accommodation options.

The Mauna Lani Beach Club provides facilities for guests, and the Shops at Mauna Lani offer a selection of dining and shopping.

It features two large shopping centres, King's Shops and Queen's Marketplace, with various restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment options. The resort also boasts several large hotels with extensive pools, water slides, and kids' clubs. Its proximity to 'Anaeho'omalu Bay (A-Bay) means easy access to watersports and calm swimming conditions.
