Book Kawaihae hotels

the pool and hot tub

Our first visit to Kona Village for our babymoon and it far exceeded our expectations. Gracious check-in with the bonus of our room being available early and upgraded. Personal touches for our special trip - baby bump pillow for sleeping, little gifts, regular acknowledgement of our celebration. The hotel itself is stunning. Never felt crowded, even during Easter weekend. The hales (single building accommodation) are private, quiet, and chicly appointed. They do a great job at adding little complimentary elements to the trip - Friday afternoon pizza pop up on their garden, golden hour wine and cheese, coconuts by the pool on Saturday etc. Highly recommend Paniolo Night on a Thursday - ticket includes huge spread of raw, barbecued, shaken and poured. Plus some authentic Hawaiian cowboy entertainment. We are already anticipating a return to Kona Village, where we know we will enjoy it just as much with a baby as on our own. I have my eye on their praised sushi night at the shipwreck bar.

A true feeling of being on vacation. The food is EXCELLENT! The room is comfortable, quiet, and had everything we needed and more including little unexpected touches. The staff was incredible and attentive. The excursions were truly wonderful and meaningfully curated. The only complaint is that many of the activities were filled and we couldn’t participate in a few we wanted. We booked the trip about a week before coming and they seem to fill up fast. Other than that disappointment I really have no complaints. Even if there is a hiccup which there always will be anywhere you stay their response time to things is on point and I never felt not relaxed and pampered while there. Wish I could have stayed another week. Highly recommend the botanical dying classes with Sara, one word, MAGICAL✨✨✨ and DO NOT miss out on the morning canoe experience. The people who run the canoe excursion are very knowledgable about the Hawaiian culture and passionate about passing on the history. It was a spectacular experience. There are many luxury hotels but the Mauna Lani Auberge just takes it to the next level. I can’t wait to go back.

What an amazing experience will definitely be making this spot our go to when going to Hawaii great for a family trip

We have stayed here multiple times and it’s always a pleasant stay. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Will come again.

We loved Fairmont Orchid! The service was immaculate. Barbie, the manager, took care of an issue we had and made us very happy with our stay! We would stay at this Fairmont anytime we have an opportunity to return to the Big Island. And we would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.
