Top Carlsmith Beach Park Hotel Reviews

Oceanfront, Friendly Sea Turtles, Epic Snorkeling!

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. I loved walking around Carlsmith beach every morning! Close to many other fun family friendly beaches including a black sand beach!"

Arnott's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone is very polite. I’ve stayed here multiple times and every time has been lovely!"

KAILANI at Mauna Loa Shores, Fantastic Condo, Swim with the Sea Turtles

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here. This isn't a new property, but it's perfect for what it is, where it is, and the price. The rooms were beautiful, clean, open, and decorated to give that true Hawaii feel. There is no A/C, but we were comfortable in September when the heat and humidity were strong. They provide several fans which we used at night. We enjoyed being able to use the kitchen. They also supplied beach chairs and a cooler that we could use. The condo and grounds were clean and well maintained, with a laundry room on the same floor that was easy to use. We especially loved that it's located right at Carlsmith Beach Park (with swimmable/snorkeling-friendly inland lagoons and a feast for the eyes all around). I highly recommend it and would love to stay there again."

Epic Oceanfront Penthouse with Best Views in Hilo!

8/10 Good

"We had a great time. This is a wonderful location next to the park. This is our 3rd time staying in the complex. There is a gate in the back to access the park. Turtles are always visiting there. If you like the out doors and wildlife; we have seen wild pigs, mongoose, geckos, lizards, all kinds of birds, and the most wonderful frogs that sing to you at night. The views from the balcony is amazing. It was nice to have items left in the refrigerator and shelves. The kitchen is well stocked. I recommend that you check the supplies before going grocery shopping. Even without air conditioning, there is a great breeze coming through the doors and windows. I prefer not using air. The bed was very comfortable. The local people are very friendly. Parking is easy."

Ocean View Chic Condo at Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"The team was super responsive. They kindly followed up to help us get through the hurricane. The location is convenient and the condo is comfortable. We will be back."

Direct Oceanfront Mauna Loa Shores #508 next Carlsmith Beach Park

8/10 Good

"Awesome location right next to Carl Smith Beach. It's an older complex but the unit looked just as advertised and had been renovated. There is only a small portable ac unit in the main bedroom. It did get a bit warm in the afternoons. The washer and dryer are located down the hall not actually in the unit. We enjoyed spending evenings and mornings on the lanai and watching sea turtles on the beach. The condo came well stocked with beach chairs and umbrella."

Restored Historic Mansion with Modern Amenities Steps to the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!!"

Hale Honu Steps from the Ocean at Maunaloa Shores Condo in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Maunaloa Shores. The facility has what you need - including a nice and clean pool. It is a great location, as well, right next to Carlsmith Beach. We ended up spending more time at Onekahakaha Beach (1 mile away) because it was great for young kids. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The unit was impeccably clean, too."
