Top Puako Beach Hotel Reviews

Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip to the Big Island was a last minute switch from Kauai due to storms. It was our first time on Hawaii Island, and we hadn't done any research in advance. The Mauna Lani turned out to be a perfect basecamp from which to explore the island's volcanos, beaches, oceans, tidepools, and history. It was luxurious without being fussy. The staff were almost without exception were warm and helpful. Our room had a beachfront view that was gorgeous, and a large lanai from which to enjoy it. I'm not sure if it was because the hotel was not at full capacity, but our room was very quiet, and our every need was met instantly upon request. We had so much fun!"

Fairmont Orchid

8/10 Good

"What I liked the most about was the cleanness and hospitality of the staff working on the floor. What I didn’t like about it was the long check in process which took a while. We expected a faster check in with the baby but it simply didn’t happen and we had to wait until a room was available. There were no free umbrellas at the beach front. The chairs with the canopy were $175 each to rent for a day to stay out of the sun when not in the water."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Loved every bit of it. Clean. Simple. Ocean front. Quiet area. We'll be back !"

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 - 10 Beds - steps to the Beach-Shore! **No Hurricane damage/impact

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."
