"This hotel is a dream! We loved being so close to Anaeho’omalu Bay! It was well maintained, and the staff was extremely helpful! My only main critiques are that the food was overpriced for what it was, and if you book an Expedia room, your room view may get blocked by a tree… All in all though we enjoyed our stay and the property location and would definitely return. The daybeds by the pool are also a great deal imo. In general, we would definitely recommend this hotel."

Top Kaupulehu Hotel Reviews

Royal Kona Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The hotel looks a little dated from the outside, but the rooms are nice. The breakfast was large portions and decent enough, but there are better options within walking distance. The resort experience was wasted on me a little, as I hardly used the amenities. I selected this place because it was on the water and I wanted to view/hear the ocean. The view was nice"

Kona Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a holiday resort, and the apartment was spacious with excellent facilities, even though we only used the unit we stayed in. The grounds were well maintained and very pleasant. Although it’s somewhat isolated from the main shops and restaurants, there is a convenient shopping center nearby for groceries and meals. Check‑in was a bit convoluted: first reviewing an initial list, then collecting the keys, and finally obtaining wristband keys from a holiday salesperson who was rather insistent that we shouldn’t miss the 90‑minute resort tour offering a seven‑night freebie. Nonetheless, we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay."

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers excellent facilities that are easy to use. It is ideally located on the main street with convenient access to a sandy beach that’s great for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Complimentary morning coffee, poolside drinks, souvenir water bottles, a seven‑stage water filtration dispenser on every floor, and beach chairs with parasols are all thoughtful touches. The only aspect that didn’t feel fully 5‑star was the front desk service, but overall the hotel deserves a 5‑star rating."

Fairmont Orchid

10/10 Excellent

"This place made our 5 year anniversary the most special trip ever. This was our 3rd time to Hawaii but first to Big. The staff was always helpful regarding resort or local activities and was always really friendly. They did some special stuff for us to make us feel even more welcome and to celebrate our anniversary. The resort felt very clean and they cleaned our room and gave us fresh towels several times a day. Browns and Hale Kai were particular standouts while the other restaurants offered some nice views. It’s a short 40 min to Kona, close to Waikoloa resort and village, close to Waimea and Hāwī. All in all, I don’t think I would consider staying anywhere else on Big."
