Top Puako Beach Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"."

Private Puako Home - NO shared walls! Full Mauna Kea Views & Steps to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here many times Love being able to see Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and Huapala’s in the mornings and walk across the street in the evening to watch the sunset"

3 Story House - Sleeps 16+ Whole House - steps to the Beach-Shore!

10/10 Excellent

"Our party included an extended family of 13 ranging from grandparents to grandkids. The house was a perfect fit with Hawaii style and comforts. We happen to be there when Hurricane LaLa was approaching and the host and his onsite overseer were proactive in communication. When the power went out that communication and care continued. If you’re going to be stuck due to bad weather, power outages, and closed state beaches, you can’t beat Puako. So many places to access snorkeling and sunsets. The house is a great location to discover Waikola, Kohala, and Kona. All in all, we’re grateful to our hosts for making sure we could enjoy the house safely and comfortably the whole time."

2 bedroom home minutes to world class beaches, surf, scuba, snorkeling & golf!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach-facing property. The location was fantastic, with gorgeous views and easy access to the beach. The property was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and everything we needed was provided. Waking up to the ocean view every morning was definitely a highlight. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!"

OCEANFRONT PUAKO HAWAII LUXURY VILLA STEPS TO HAWAII'S BEST SNORKEL & SCUBA REEF

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay overall and would absolutely recommend this property. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself is spacious, well maintained, and perfect for families or groups. The bedrooms are all generously sized with excellent air conditioning—it almost felt like having three primary suites plus a great kids' room. The kitchen was also very well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking meals. One thing we overlooked when booking was that the pool is actually more of a spool—it's only about 20" deep. That was on us for not reading the listing more carefully, but it's worth mentioning for anyone expecting a traditional swimming pool.Despite these minor inconveniences, we had a great vacation. The home is beautiful, the location is hard to beat, and with a few maintenance improvements, it would be an exceptional place to stay."

Puako Condo 109 ~ 3 BR ~ Corner Ground Unit ~ Pool

10/10 Excellent

"Home needs a little more TLC. Bedroom fronting the building bedroom is really hot. I suggest putting an air conditioner. Television in livingroom needs to be updated. Other than that it was a pleasure stay"
