Top Carlsmith Beach Park Hotel Reviews

Arnott's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in one of the dorm studio rooms, and it was fantastic! The room was spacious and quiet and clean. It had an efficient air conditioner which worked well and didn't smell of mildew. They had a shared laundry amenity which I didn't end up needing, but was good to have available since everything is so humid in Hilo, damp clothes won't dry on their own. I used the hot plate in the room to reheat some leftovers, which saved me some time and money on going to a restaurant. I would recommend this place if you're staying in Hilo for a few days"

Sea Turtle Suite - Steps from Carlsmith Beach!

The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use."

Ocean View Chic Condo at Carlsmith Beach Park 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 very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Salt Water Vacations offers excellent customer service from start to finish and our stay was wonderful! The unit was modern, extremely clean and pictures are accurate as shown. Having towel drying bars was a nice added touch given the humidity, we always had fresh dry towels (Mahalo). Having Carl Smith Beach Park as your back drop, swim area is a great bonus, and perhaps that is why we didn't spend a lot of time at the pool. Pool is just ok, but the ocean is the highlight for us. The condo complex itself is safe, neighbours and grounds keepers were friendly. We would highly recommend Salt Water Vacations and this particular unit if you are a couple staying in Hilo. Mahalo - Chris and Avril"

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!"

KeALOHA - INCREDIBLE views, Spectacular Beach Park, the Best snorkeling, Turtles

8/10 Good

"It is a great location, and about the right size for two of us. I did not read the description well enough, and did not realize that it is not air conditioned. It was a little warm, and we had some trouble sleeping. Otherwise, we were very happy with it. It was great to be able to just go downstairs and walk into the little protected tidepools and use the snorkeling gear that is in the bin on the patio."

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."

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."
