Hawaii Island Holidays from AU$1,322

My wife and I decided to stay at Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo after seeing so many positive recommendations on social media, and we were excited to try it out. The atmosphere is really nice, and it’s super close to the ocean, which makes for some beautiful views. The location is great and the hotel itself has a nice vibe. However, there were a couple of downsides. First, they only offer valet parking, which wasn’t super convenient for us. I’m not exactly looking for valet service, especially when we’re just renting a car, and I much prefer free parking on-site. Plus, the valet parking was pretty pricey. The bigger issue for us was that both my wife and I broke out in hives during our stay. The room felt very humid and damp, and we weren’t really comfortable with the high moisture in the air. Our allergies got much better the day we checked out, so while I’m not blaming the hotel entirely (there are many possible allergy triggers), I do think the humidity might’ve been a factor. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with a lot to offer, but the parking situation and humidity were not ideal for us.

Great hotel. Beautiful views!

The rooms are only fully cleaned once every 4 days. You have to request daily chg of towels and trash Collection every day that you want that. The grounds are not maintained well. The hallways grounds have 0 maintenance. It’s super expensive for a hotel that doesn’t get cleaned often esp a Marriott. The beach is overcrowded and the water murky bc of overcrowding.

Property is always nice.
