"Mostly very clean, except sliding glass doors. Would have cleaned myself but no cleaning materials on site. Wanted to love this place. We have stayed in other units but were delighted to find a first floor unit. The good: well equipped, comfortable, plenty of towels, and beach stuff. Nice patio area. The bad: communication was awful. Don't know if the problem is with the owner or RedAwning. Most units are welcoming (flowers, complementary chocolates, coffee, and welcoming reminders about check...

Top Mahai'ula Beach Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

10/10 Excellent

"Went there everything is beautiful but the most amazing thing is the people!!!!!"

Kailua Kona, Home between the beaches & Kona town, 10 min from airport.

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and very clean. Located close to the beaches and downtown Kona."

Lovely Room. Wir Sprechen Deutsch. Tropical Garden, Quiet

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked the accommodations about this wonderful a little place we stayed at on the big island it was like a little Oasis nice and private tucked up overlooking the ocean and all the beautiful Hawaii vegetation very quiet and had a lot of relaxation"

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at 4th Fairway, Ocean View with 2 Golf Carts

8/10 Good

"It was very nice that people leave their leftover Staples in the fridge and cabinet. It was a very nice property. Water pressure in the shower could have been much better. The handheld shower in the bathtub did not work. Four Seasons could have been more accommodating when it comes to people with disabilities. My husband needed to sit in the shade and could not walk far. I got up early every morning to reserve seats at the pool. In the beginning, this process worked well. The last several days, it was a challenge to keep our stuff from being moved because they did not think we were accessing the chairs. One day it wasn’t that there weren’t cover chairs available, it was because the people wanted the chairs we had. My son, who is autistic, asked workers to help him find a spot in the shade. They did. He came back to find his stuff was moved. We spent everyday at the pool, ocean, snack shack. You should not have to worry that you come back to your chairs and they are being reset. Now, there were workers there who talked to him and helped him quite a bit which we appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience."

Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic vacation here. The resort was beautiful, relaxing, great staff and service. We had several amazing dinners at Moana, the New York strip was phenomenal, grilled prawns were delicious, the house sourdough bread was on point, wine selection was good. Breakfast at Moana was also great, the French toast and the omelette should not be passed up. We also had dinner at the four seasons one night and it was not even close to being as good as Moana. The beach is a relaxing vibe, never felt crowded, just a serene view with relaxing waves to listen to, we had lunch and drinks at the shipwreck bar, grilled fish Baja tacos and ceviche with Island lagers really nailed it. They have a complimentary coffee bar open at 530 am with fresh fruit and the chocolate croissant was delicious , we did that every morning and worked out in the gym which has everything you need. Only comments which are not really complaints but could be improved, dinner at Kahuwai cookhouse could be better, the burger didn’t really impress for the price, bbq oysters also didn’t impress, needed more flavor on both, seems a missed opportunity for them to not have wood fired pizza or just a more bbq over fire focused menu, we would have loved that. Overall I would give it a 10/10, we will come back and plan to visit other Rosewood resorts after this."

Luxurious Makai Villa with Pool and Ocean Views

8/10 Good

"The house was clean, nice layout, great Wi-Fi and plenty of room.We didn’t get a chance to grill because the grill was no good rusted out and that’s one of our biggest things we like to do as a family when we go on vacation vacations but besides that the pool was great but very hot with no air-conditioning.Thanks again"

Breezy Kailua-kona Bungalow w/ Lanai & Ocean View!
