Top Kalaoa Hotel Reviews

PACIFIC 19 Kona

10/10 Excellent

"Nice central location with plenty of parking"

Hilton Waikoloa Village

8/10 Good

"The resort is a beautiful property and we mostly had a pleasant stay. We stayed in the makai tower and shelled around 4-500$ per room. The rooms themselves don’t feel that worth, they are outdated and one can feel and see it. Everything’s functional though. The really annoying part is the longgg routes for people needing accessibility and mobility. People on the wheelchair have to take really long paths to reach somewhere otherwise their family members are left to lift wheelchairs and the person take stairs…we literally had to do it. For accessibility and mobility I’ll give this property 1/5. I feel self parking should be complimentary at such prices."

Royal Kona Resort

8/10 Good

"Fantastic locatio, walkable to downtown Kona shops and restaurants. Great view and restaurant. Nice warm pool. Grounds and hallways, etc, were immaculate. Parking was across the street. Everyone was very pleasant. Rooms were large. The only reason why I didn't give a 5-star review is because our room smelled of mold. As a mold sensitive person, this was too much exposure for me over our 2 nights--likely due to carpeting and the humidity."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Kailua-Kona by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed 4 nights, the hotel missed 1 day house keeping. I like the swimming pool but the water was not circulated enough. Breakfast has pancake and a variety of breads, and hearty, hot and cooked eggs, bacon etc. Very close to shopping, ABC and restaurants. 9 minutes walk to the beach where we could see many fish when swimming. We also joined the submarine tour, not only seeing many fishes under the sea, 2 dolphins followed our shuttle boat. "

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot begin to explain the EXCEPTIONAL service, amenities, accommodations and experience at this resort. We fell in love with Hualalai and will 1000% be returning. I came here with my husband for my 50th birthday and was treated with such kindness. The staff here are above and beyond and honestly, as a frequent Marriott Ambassador Elite traveler, I have to say that Marriott’s higher end brands need to step it up to match the class, ease, and care that Four Seasons has shown us. Look no further if you are deciding on which Hawaii island to visit. We are looking at property here already if that tells you anything! Thank you, Four Seasons Hualalai, for ensuring I had a remarkable birthday celebration!"

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Kalaoa?

Kalaoa is a unique area, but for similar experiences focusing on luxury and convenience, the best areas to stay are Hualalai and Mauna Lani.

Hualalai is a private, gated community known for its exclusive resorts and high-end residential properties. It's located just a short drive north of Kalaoa, offering a similar sense of seclusion and direct access to stunning coastline. The resorts here typically feature world-class golf courses, exquisite dining options, and private beaches. This area is superb for couples seeking a truly luxurious and private getaway, with properties offering amenities like private plunge pools and personalised concierge services.

It's known for its ancient Hawaiian fishponds, petroglyph fields, and two championship golf courses. The resorts often have extensive grounds with multiple swimming pools, high-end fitness equipment, and a selection of restaurants.

When is the best time to go to Kalaoa?

The best time to visit Kalaoa is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to November, when the weather is consistently pleasant, and the area is less crowded.

These periods offer a great balance of warm, sunny days, ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Kona Coast. You'll find comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities like snorkelling, hiking, and enjoying the beaches, without the peak season crowds or prices. The ocean conditions are generally calm, making it great for water sports.

For couples seeking a peaceful and romantic getaway, these months provide a more intimate experience. You can enjoy quiet strolls along the coast, more availability for popular restaurant reservations, and a relaxed atmosphere at attractions like the Kona Coffee Living History Farm or the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the shoulder seasons. The milder temperatures are more comfortable for little ones, and fewer crowds mean a more relaxed visit to places like the ʻAnaehoʻomalu Bay for swimming and paddleboarding.
