Top Mauna Kea Observatory Hotel Reviews
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"It is always a pleasure returning to Mauna Kea. With the recent renovations now complete, the hotel is more beautiful than ever and remains my daughter's favorite vacation destination. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, offering an excellent selection of food, and the staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the beach and the crystal clear ocean is an experience that is truly hard to find anywhere else. We had another wonderful stay and are already looking forward to returning next summer."
Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Thank you!"
The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The beach is the best. Just about all negative aspects of the property are measured against the gorgeous water and wonderful beach. The room was a bit dated. Carpet looked tired, small roaches in bathroom sink area. The fat foam pillows are uncomfortable. They also put us in a room for disabled individuals but we were too tired to argue after three flights and a long rental drive at that point. The buffet is very good and staff are excellent. We don’t spend a lot of time in the room so no big deal in the room critique. BUT at 1k per day for a suite, it’s worth mentioning the rooms look tired."
Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village
8/10 Good
"I have stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village a few times with my family and we absolutely love it. The room at the ocean tower we stayed in needs a bit updating. But overall we love the resort. We would come back again. I recommend it!"
Hamakua Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The Hamakua was amazing. It was everything you could want in a boutique hotel. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept. The every room has an incredible view of gardens overlooking the Pacific. The staff, Belle and Sabrina were the best, If you are there for one of Chef Joseph’s meals don’t miss it!"
Fairmont Orchid
10/10 Excellent
"It is an excellent resort. Staff members are friendly and helpful. Room is spacious. At the end of my stay, there was a cockroach running in the bathroom."
