Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort
An incredible property with abysmal food and sub par service. Kona Village is magical - the grounds, the hales (rooms), the spa, the yoga, the bikes to ride around the property and the stunning beach. But such a magical 5 star resort should also offer excellent cuisine and hospitality. We were shocked ...

Hilton Waikoloa Village
Staff was great but the areas surrounding the pools and walk ways seemed to have a lot of trash in the garden areas.

Royal Kona Resort
The room was clean and the staff were helpful. We liked the swimming pool. The restaurant staff didn’t seem very organized.
