- RKRandy Ksar1 day ago5.0One of my favorite resorts in the world. The service is amazing for families and adults.
- YYy yNov 18, 20255.0ハワイ島の定番リゾートです。 滞在費も安くはありませんが比較費的、良心的で価格に見合ったしっかりとしたサービスが受けられます。 ビーチハウスのスタッフも親切ですし、ホテルの敷地内が混雑している事もありません。 日本人観光客も少なめなので、日本人観光客グループにしょっちゅう出くわす事もなく、海外らしいのんびりした時間が過ごせます。
- BOBecki O'BrienNov 14, 20255.0Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous location with so many walkable paths and beautiful landscaping. The staff were above and beyond - so friendly and accommodating. The rooms were spotless. The location was perfection. The staff went out of the way to serve my son, who is anaphylactic to many foods, an allergen safe meal, and this was remarkable and so special for him.
- AKAnna KimNov 8, 20255.0From the moment you arrive at Hualālai, it feels less like checking into a resort and more like being welcomed into a private Hawaiian sanctuary. Every detail — from the scent of plumeria in the air to the way the staff greets you by name — reflects a level of care and authenticity that’s unmatched anywhere in Hawai‘i. The grounds are stunning: lush palms, lava rock pools blending into the ocean, and a perfect balance between natural beauty and refined design. The rooms feel like an extension of the island itself — spacious, elegant, and filled with light. Waking up to the sound of waves and stepping onto a lanai that opens to the Pacific is simply unforgettable. The service is extraordinary. Every team member embodies aloha in a way that feels genuine — thoughtful without being overbearing. Whether it’s the beach attendants remembering your favorite drink or the concierge crafting the perfect day trip, you feel seen and cared for. Dining is a highlight — from the incredible breakfast buffet at ‘ULU to cocktails under the stars at Beach Tree. The food celebrates local ingredients and island flavors, but with the polish of world-class cuisine. Hualālai has a special energy — serene yet vibrant, luxurious yet grounded in its place. It’s the rare kind of resort where time slows down, sunsets feel endless, and you leave feeling deeply restored. If there’s one place that captures the magic of Hawai‘i at its most refined, it’s here.
- JDJenny DodsonNov 5, 20255.0Amazing resort! So beautiful! We were treated like royalty. Great resort for couples but also super kid friendly. Several pool options. Loved snorkeling on property. Spacious rooms. Super close to the Kona airport. Best golf on the island.
