Best Hotels near Keauhou Shopping Center, Kahaluu-Keauhou

I was nervous to stay here given the reviews and with the current construction I wouldn't have been happy to pay full price (not because of noise/dust, but because the restaurants/spa/bars/etc. are not all up and running!) but I got a nice 30% off deal through the Outrigger website and was happy with what we paid. I chose the oceanfront room knowing I'd get a good view (too many oceanview hotels only offer a glimpse of the water) but never imagined the incredible surprise we got - our room faced directly out to where the lights shine for the manta rays each night so it was like we had our our private manta observation deck! It was unreal! The room was comfy, clean and spacious; the staff were super friendly and helped quickly when our balcony was flooded after a storm, and we loved the morning yoga, mac nut lattes at holoholo market, and the easy self parking (it's really not a long walk). The beach pool was closed for renos but we enjoyed the courtyard pool very much, and the grounds were stunning to walk around in the morning an evening - keep a lookout for goats on the rocks! We were also able to walk to and from Keauhou Bay marina for our night snorkle with the mantas which was super convenient. KTA superstore and L&L BBQ are just down the road for quick eats and the location was perfect for visiting K'au, Kona coffee farms and to get to the airport. Can't wait to stay again when the renovations are complete!

The Condo was in good condition, could’ve used new carpet and paint touch up but despite that very clean!!! The size the condo was perfect and we could see the ocean from the patio doors. The kitchen was well serviced with clean nice dishes. The washer/dryer was a fabulous feature we used!! The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was including and easy to find. Condo was close to Kona Inn shopping and the bypass road used for Hwy 11. Would definitely recommend staying there!!! The guest book in the condo to write your own entry was so fun to read what other guests had done!!

Got this room thru Diamond Resorts (now owned by Hilton). We checked on trip advisor and other on line sites and was confident it was a nice place. WRONG WRONG WRONG. We got here yesterday. Front desk said we got one of the nicest units (2 bedroom town house). When we got the room I was ready to turn around and walk out. It smelled musty, the furniture is OLD which is putting it nicely. I'm sure it is the original from when unit was built in 1980. The countertops and ceramic tile floors are newer as are the kitchen/bathroom cabinets. But it has a long way to go to get even close to the pictures I saw on line. The $10 day optional air conditioning is a floor unit with 6” plastic piping running across the floor and out a hole in the wall. And then the ants..........everywhere. On the kitchen counter, in the bathroom, in the sinks, on the nightstand, etc. The topper was the ants I work up to crawling on the bedspread next to my face. Opened my laptop which was on the nightstand and had ants crawling on the screen and keys. When I put my phone down on the dresser, nightstand, or any counter there were ants crawling on it when I picked the phone up. Since the office closed shortly after we got there yesterday I was down there this AM. They were quick in sending someone up to put an ant killer in various places around the unit. After 9 hours the ants are not as numerous but still around. Hopefully tomorrow they will be gone. Not a fan of killing ants crawling on my leg after a shower. (They must have been in the towels as I didn't see any in the 27”x27” tiny shower. Be sure if you are looking at Sea Village that you find out exactly what unit you get........they are not all like the pictures online.

The hotel has no walls or wooden boards, it is just surrounded by anti-mosquito sand nets, and there are curtains around the bed. It's still a bit cold in January. The shower is outdoors, with a curtain, and it's a bit cold, so it's not convenient. The air in the forest is good and the chirping of insects is pleasant. Breakfast is very simple, bread, boiled eggs, and some fruit. I don’t like it a bit but I don’t feel full. The novelty is quite good, a bit like camping. Don't come with children, they are scared, and people here go to bed early and require quietness. The kids were bored and had to be quiet.

The location of the hotel is average, there is no private beach, only a few small swimming pools; the hotel room is quite big, with a full set of kitchen equipment and tableware, you can cook by yourself, which is more convenient. The hotel has to charge a one-time cleaning fee, which is a lot of money, and the fee is the same no matter how many days you stay; you must read it clearly when you make a reservation.

Great. From room to food to staff, all five stars! There are no disadvantages.

Our spring break trip to Kona Village Rosewood was a trip of a lifetime! From the absolutely beautiful setting, wonderful culture, delicious food, and incredible staff who made us feel like family — I’m spoiled for life! It was my family’s first trip to Hawaii (husband, 8yo, 6yo, and me) and coming all the way from NYC, we figured it might be our last. Now we are all hooked and can’t wait to go back. We arrived on a Saturday evening after a long day of traveling and were greeted with smiles, warmth, and beautiful leis. I thought often during the week about what we were told that night — “make sure to do everything!” Our room was absolutely beautiful with welcome food and drinks, gorgeous and respectful architecture — both modern but also homey — beautiful artwork, comfortable furniture, an outdoor shower, and a large outdoor deck looking over the lagoon. Even if we never left our room it would have been an amazing trip! 🤣 I got up early each morning to workout. The gym has all the equipment you could want and the cardio machines are outside so you feel a nice morning breeze and can stare out at the mountains while you sweat! Our first breakfast (and every breakfast!) was spectacular. I tried all of the specials and not a single one disappointed! Food overall was delicious — fresh poke bowls, yummy steaks, island favorites like “loco moco”, amazing sushi, over the top desserts (best pineapple cake in my life!) and top notch basics for the kids (pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, etc). The cocktails are also quite special and the bartenders (Shane and Shane!) can tell you all about them. Unlike many hotels (even 5 star hotels!), they run a full fresh fruit program with no batched syrups and nothing from concentrate. It was nice to finally have a real mai tai🍹 The resort is so beautiful that you can have a blast doing nothing but just enjoying all the different places to lounge (multiple beaches, pools, the lagoon, a bajillion books and crannies to get lost in with others or by yourself) OR you can be super active and canoe, sail, paddle board, hike, snorkel, dive, play games, etc. Our kids loved the keiki (kids) club and enjoyed the team there who were super creative and kept the kids very active while also taking time to teach them a ton about Hawaiian culture and the local area. I could go on and on but the best thing about the entire experience was getting to spend time with the team there. From the leadership (MariaJose and Daniel) to the F&B team led by Daniel to Matea and Manita and Taylor and Shane and Shane and all the other wonderful folks who took care of us and made us feel at home by sharing their home and culture — we couldn’t be more grateful. We just can’t wait to go back. We were already Rosewood fans but not we are super-crazy-can’t-stop-thinking-about-it fans for life!!!

The staff at the Wyndham Kona was awesome, especially Joy, the woman who helped us make a lei. The front desk staff was very helpful. Our room smelled clean, but on closer examination the carpet needed cleaning and the area around the kitchen faucet needed attention. Probably due for a remodel. The facilities were good, but we wish there was something happening at the bar area of the pool. Our deck overlooked the pool/hot tub courtyard which was lovely, and not noisy. The grounds are nicely maintained. The only negative aspect was that we had trouble confirming our reservation. After my husband read reviews about people arriving and not having a reservation, I called the resort a number of weeks before our arrival. The woman I spoke to was very pleasant, but unable to confirm, suggesting that I call trip.com. Trip.com confirmed the reservation, and explained that they had sent a file to the resort, and the resort must not have opened it yet. I called a week later, and received the same information, so I asked trip.com to contact the resort, which they did. I believe that I made three calls to the resort and three calls to trip.com before the reservation was confirmed by Wyndham about a week before our arrival, which was a bit of a hassle, but everyone I spoke to was pleasant and tried to help. One person in a review said that they checked in late, after four I believe, and there was a problem with their reservation, but that wasn't an issue for us. We gave the resort our flight arrival time of 2:30, and they told us that we wouldn't be able to check in until 4pm, and we might as well go to Costco, which we did. Everything was fine.

The hotel has a good environment and a tropical Hawaiian style. In 2018, I lived in this house with my husband when I came to the Big Island. I had a good impression. We booked the same one-bedroom villa at the time, and we found two bedrooms when we checked in (not told that it was free upgrade, and there was no need to upgrade to two rooms for two people). So this time I visited the Big Island with my friends and husband and wife, and I booked a bedroom villa. I found that there was a bedroom. My friend and wife could live in the sofa bed in the hall. Knowing this, we chose to live in hilo, the price is cheap, go to the black beach, green beach, Maokena Observatory, the volcanic park will be close, and the time can be saved a lot. There is a shopping center, near the hotel. The location is very good and the sunset is particularly good. Many restaurants inside can choose, one of them sunset restsurant has a good environment, the sunset location is excellent, but the dishes are very general
