Top Mauna Loa Observatory Hotel Reviews
Royal Kona Resort
10/10 Excellent
"When I checked in, I told the front desk clerk that I was just in town for work and didn’t particularly care about views and the like. I was there alone. To my surprise, she put me on the top floor in a corner room that had remarkable views overlooking the ocean on 2 sides, with large glass doors that opened to the outside. This setup afforded a “wrap around” balcony, the likes of which I’ve never seen up close. Room had cold water supplied every morning in the fridge and a cute coffee maker with delicious, fresh coffee “packets.” How nice ! I enjoyed my day immensely. Oh. The food in the restaurant was exceptional as well. I had a couple breakfasts while there"
OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Super nice Ocean front room we could see the Manta Ray dives at night from the balcony. . Staff was very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend."
Dragonfly Ranch
10/10 Excellent
"The Dragonfly Ranch has a lot of character and is a fun place to stay. Everyone was really friendly."
Lokahi Lodge
6/10 Okay
"Proximity to the park and the town of Volcano was great. Easy parking. Quiet. There is no human on-site but they thought of everything you might need. On the downside, there was no AC so it was hot one night, the decor feels very much like a hodge-lodge of items, and Bathroom lighting was really low and dingy. On the upside, big room that could have easily slept 4 if we needed it to."
Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. A couple of their hot tubs were down but there are 6 on the property so not the biggest deal but definitely inconvenient. "
Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant
10/10 Excellent
"The Lodge itself was impeccably clean. The dining experience was great. Our room was perfect right down to the heated towel bar. The volcano area lookouts were nearby thus not having to travel very far. The staff were very helpful in all aspects. Would definitely recommend this Lodge."
Volcano Forest Inn
8/10 Good
"We needed a place near volcano park and this property filled the bill. I really should have read the information provided by the host to understand the self-check in process. (Multiple messages from all our stays overwhelmed me) Once we squared that away, we found dinner and brought it back to the room and settled in. The night sounds in the forest were great. My only suggestion is the steps be lit up for arrivals after dark."
Holua Resort
8/10 Good
"Bathrooms need an overhaul. Kitchen was reasonably stocked, but over a 10-day stay we needed to request several items. Pool was wonderful"
Ka'awaloa Plantation Bed & Breakfast
10/10 Excellent
"Loved this place— great views & a lovely staff. One of the highlights of our trip."
