Independent Hawaii Island hotels

"Rooms were super nice, the staff was very friendly. The lagoon and pool were excellent "

"Eco-friendly hotel with a beautiful view in front. We walked out with our morning coffee to look at the lagoon and saw a sea turtle swimming. I really appreciated the free filtered water filling station and the tester of Kombucha. "

"We were pleasantly surprised at check-in with a little gift for our 30th anniversary. The ocean view was stunning, and we loved watching the sunset and the crashing waves from our balcony. While the furniture and bed felt a bit below 4-star standards, everything else made for a truly wonderful stay."

"The room was spotless and the housekeeping did a wonderful job. "

"We loved our stay at the Outrigger Kona. The resort was stunning and so well maintained and clean. The pool was perfect and not over crowded. Great access to chairs and shade. Parking was easy and convenient. My only slight complaint was with the food around the pool. The selection was minimal, cost was way too high and they were always delivered in huge paper bags that just seemed a waste. Nothing to ruin an otherwise fabulous stay. We felt location was convenient to everything however that means a drive to everything including food. Food options nearby were incredible as well. "

"Entire experience. Great Room. Great Breakfast. Great Bar."

"The resort is so pretty! And the staff are very friendly. Perfect experience "

"Staff was kind, room was clean and in great condition. Breakfast was good. The best part was the hotel didn’t charge me a million hidden fees like the resorts in Kona do. As locals it’s hard to find somewhere affordable in Kona, so this was a lovely surprise. "
