Top Carlsmith Beach Park Hotel Reviews

Oceanfront, Friendly Sea Turtles, Epic Snorkeling!

8/10 Good

"This was a great location for our Hilo side activities and nearby snorkeling. We didn't have to drive anywhere else to snorkel. The building had some security and che king in and out were flawless. The host was quick to help me solve an issue with the TV remote. I appreciate how quickly we could make contact. Kitchen was nice but furniture was less comfortable for us."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as you pulled up the valet was very friendly and helpful with directions. The view to the ocean took my breath away as soon as you walked in to the main entrance. I enjoyed my stay and it was very pleasant having staff text me about current events and things going on around the area. For example the volcano being active so that we didn’t get to miss anything special about Hawaii. I didn’t even have to go anywhere and got to see sea turtles right outside the restaurant after breakfast the day before we were going to leave."

Garden View Room - Oceanfront Hilo Beach House Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice sleeping to the sounds of nature. Very quiet area of Hilo We stayed in the Plumeria room which met our needs. Access to the beach is quick- if you plan to spend some time at Carlsmith Beach Park this is the perfect place to stay. Unfortunately we didn’t see any sea turtles because we were not around during the daytime. Would stay here again"

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."

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."
