Top Hotels Near Mauna Kea in

"The hotel almost covers everything for a hotel in a Hawaiian Island. "

"The unit we stayed in was well appointed and had everything we needed. They supplied much more than other timeshare units we have stayed in. We have arrived late and had enough toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, etc. to get us through the first few days. The decor was modern and, although the unit was surface cleaned, it could definitely use a deep cleaning. We had an issue with the dishwasher and dryer, both issues were resolved quickly by maintenance. The office staff was very friendly as was everyone we met on the grounds. There is only one small pool and hot tub at this location but we never found it overcrowded. It’s very close to the stores and Restaurants at Waikoloa but is a 30 to 40 minute drive to downtown Kona. We appreciated the location, but if you want to spend a lot of time in the Kona area, it might be a little far. The first seven days we were staying with our timeshare and found out that you need to pay $10 a day for air conditioning. We booked three additional days directly and apparently you don’t have to pay for air conditioning for those days. We did not wind up needing the air conditioning at all the whole time we were there but it’s something you’ll want to be aware of. Because it’s up in the mountains, a little bit, there was always a beautiful, cool breeze in the evenings. You need to be very mindful of the speed limits, we saw many people getting speeding tickets when we were there. Overall, I would recommend the Resort. "

"My wife and I stayed at Royal Palms from November 8 to November 11 and had a wonderful time! Check in was very easy. A warm welcome note with a scrumptious fruit basket set a welcoming ohana feeling that was just right. The grounds and landscaping provided a lovely, tropical, and peaceful setting with relaxing nature sounds at night. The cottage decorum is elegantly casual with an awesome dry sauna and well appointed lanai. The Royal Palms cottage is definitely on our favorites list for big Island accommodations. Hosts Lauren and Kalani love this place and it shows! Aloha and mahalo nui! "

"Very unique and unforgettable living experience! Large room, clean, quiet, beautiful views! Would definitely live again next time we come to the big island."

"Nice & clean"

"The room is basic, but honestly, why would you spend time in your room when yiu have the most majestic views right outside?"

"Everything was immaculate and a Great location !! Perfect size for a family of 4-6 people ! Restaurant, stores , and golf really close ! "

"The property was perfect for a couple who wants to be a little bit away from the oceanfront, play tennis or golf, and just relax. The views from the deck were beautiful. Most things were 15 minutes away or so, and easily drivable. The host's description of the property had a lot of good suggestions for beaches and activities. "

"Convenient location for north island activities. Nice facility. We did not use pool or other facilities so cannot comment on those. The list of restaurants/food is not very good/thorough. Had to find affordable restaurants close."
