I really wish we had stayed here more than one night. But when you book a trip to Hawaii and want to visit several different places, you really don't know what to expect. The room was absolutely huge, had a wonderful kitchen, huge balcony. And the ocean was literally feet from you when you were sitting out on the balcony.... more

Okay, lesson 1: Hawaii is a state. Hawaii is also one of several islands composing that state, but most people just refer to it as "the big island". Also, the western side of the island, somewhat below the lower half dividing line, has the villages of Kona, and Kailua. You'll hear them called by seperate and combined names, but it's... more

This was our last stop before flying home from Kona and it was worth it whether you are a beer lover or just enjoy good "pub" food. The service was fantastic and the beers much better than the other microbrews found on the island. If you have time, its well worth the stop and only a short drive from the... more

Excited for a return trip to Hawaii and to the Big Island for the first time, we paid a little over our budget to get a nice place on the beach. This place appeared to be nice on the outside until you got into the rooms. I actually was amazed at how bad they were. I've stayed in some Super... more

We just returned from staying here at the Kona Hawaiin Village the week of June 20th. We have stayed at another timeshare in the Kona area last year and from this point on we will only stay at the Hawaiin village. The grounds throughout the resort were drop dead gorgeous with vegetation that blended in with the turn of the... more

My family spent a week on the Big Island and we stayed here. We rented a two bedroom, two bath condo with a garden view. The condo was very spacious and quiet most of the time. I could hear the washer from the unit above (when on the spin cycle), but overall I was not disturbed by noise. The furnsihings... more

What a fantastic find, We were going to eat dinner at Huggo's but right next to it is Huggo's on the rocks. It is casual, beach sand around most of the tables. No wait to get in when we went and Huggo's next door had 20 minute wait. Not as upscale and does not have the variety as next door... more

A lot of locals recommended this place as a great place to get local fresh fish. We went to have lunch there. I don't think we are food snobs but the food was below average and I would not tell anyone to eat there. The fresh catch was ono or mahi mahi. We all had Ono and it was below... more

Ate here a week ago after flying into Kona and stumbling on it. It looked like a great place to eat. We entered and waited - and waited - and waited. All the while waiters and waitresses walking past us. That was unusual as the place was only half full. I was just reaching the 'its time to walk out... more

My wife and I along with our travelling companions found this little place on the recommendation of our hotel concierge. Turns out it was the BEST place locally for every meal we had there. No fancy frills no pretense... Just absolute great food (HUGE portions don't plan on leaving hungry!) excellent service and a great staff of friendly outgoing people.... more
