Enjoyed location next to great snorkeling beach & being able to look into tide pools from the bar which is also a great place to enjoy the sunsets. However, the majority of the north facing rooms are looking at a huge roof and if you're toward the parking lot, it's very noisy. The beds are SO uncomfortable! We actually arrived... More

This is not a fancy hotel, but it has so many things going for it, I think it's worth considering even if you are looking for a high end hotel. I booked a deluxe ocean view room, and my room was over the water (the hotel is built like a pier) with a view looking down the coastline. I slept... More

We stayed this last week at this resort, and were comfortable and relaxed. As a "resort", I think this is boarderline. The major distinguishing items for this from a "hotel" would be several activities (Hawaiian language intro, bamboo weaving, etc.), overlooking a tide pool, and proximity to the beach. But other than that, it's really a hotel. The location is... More

We stayed here the past week and were greatly impressed by this resort! Our room had a great ocean view and was well appointed. All the staff we encountered were wonderful,and very helpful. There was lots of activities going on(Hula lessons,Ukelele lessons, crafts,etc) to keep you busy if you wanted. The breakfast buffet was incredible! It had everything anybody would... More

Aloha TimMicheleCamrose, Mahalo for your generous rating and your recommendations! Our location, the rich history of our area, our hard-working staff, and daily activities are just a few of the most amazing things you can encounter while here at Keauhou.

The hotel is large yet doesn't feel crowded. The breakfast included is a plus and offers a good variety, with as much papaya and pineapple as you can eat! The staff is friendly and helpful. The building and rooms are a bit tired looking. After going on a snorkeling catamaran we found the best view if beautiful fish and sea... More

We spent our first two nights on the Big Island at the Outrigger Resort. It was a quick drive from the airport (after our late evening landing), and check-in was very easy. We went for the deluxe ocean-view room, which was worth the extra bucks. Waking up (jet-lagged) that first morning to the lightening sky and ocean was spectacular, as... More

Staying at this hotel was truly the worst hotel experience ever - and it's making me write my first review ever to spare others this experience. Judging from the overall tripadvisor rating and our travel guides we were expecting a decent oceanfront resort, maybe not top notch, but. Guides mentioned recently renovated rooms and upgrading of the hotel to an... More

Aloha! The Keauhou Beach Resort is part of the 2400 acre Keauhou Resort which consists of hotels, historic preserves, agricultural land, homes, condos, commercial space but most of the area is undeveloped land. Outside of the hotel, nature is full of cute creatures like the mongoose and some not so cute creatures. The hotel has an aggressive trapping and baiting... More

My stay with keauhou resort was wonderful. We were there in a deluxe ocean view with beautiful views over the ocean, beach and grounds. The rooms are clean and probably a little outdated but I don't travel to Keauhou to stay in my room. For the quick shower and overnight sleep- more than adequate. Coffee maker, fridge, free inroom safe... More

The most maginificent back drop for a hotel, nothing but beauty all around you. Hotel is disappointing, staff not that friendly. Bathroom so small you can barely get out the shower before almost landing in the toilet. Towels so small they like hand towels but are bath towels. No room service, food stops being served at 8.00pm and then there... More

We stayed at 4 different places in Hawaii but the Outrigger was by far the nicest hotel (a resort actually) for the amount we spent for it. The rooms were super clean, large and well-appointed. We had one of the "budget" rooms which meant a long walk down the hallway from the elevator, but that meant we were on the... More
