Wonderful week at Hapuna Beach. I think it starts with the friendliness and welcoming attitude of the staff. We were always greeted with a smile, great service. Our suite was clean, spacious, and quiet. We love the Kohala coast area and it is a quick drive to Waimea and Hawi and their unique dining options. I think that the hotel... More

My wife and I stayed here only 3 days at the end of our two week trip starting in Honolulu and Maui. It was our 1 year Wedding Anniversary. This was my favorite beach out of the three. It was a great way to end the vacation. I wish we could've stayed here an extra day or two. The rooms... More

I did a lot of research before I decide to book hotel for my big Island trip. Hupuna Beach Price hotel is highly recommended by one of my friend, who has stayed there before. Location: The primary reason for choosing this hotel is its location. As many books say that Mauna Kea is the best beach and Hapuna beach is... More

This hotel of outstanding architecture was built on amazing volcanic land with a magnificent, calm crescent beach providing easy snorkeling which yield views of sea turtles and trigger fish! It is sad that it is now becoming dated and rundown and the maintenance is sloppy with untended internal gardens. Worst of all is THE SMELL of the rooms. We did... More

Here's why I keep coming back to the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel year after year: the beach. It's not the fanciest, newest, shiniest hotel on the Big Island. Staff don't fawn; the toiletries aren't chic; the decor is neither swanky nor 'authentic Polynesian.' To be honest, it's a bit rundown. However what the other hotels on the Big Island (excepting...

We traveled to Kona for the first time in January 2012, however, not first time to Hawaii, and decided to stay at the Hapuna Prince because we heard the beach was the best (and it probably is) and we got an ok rate through Costco Travel, but have to tell you honestly this hotel sucks! I travel for both business... More

The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel was wonderful. Our daughter lives on the Big Island and checked it out before we arrived. They were offering a special rate (about half off their usual price) which made it a great value. After booking online, they offered a room upgrade possibility, which means at check-in, if they have a better room available, you... More

The Hapuna Beach Prince is a wonderful hotel. Open lobbies, seating areas, restaurant all in the open. The hotel is perched into a steep hill and overlooks the sea. The pool is large and opena nd the beach is to die for. This must be one of the few sand beaches on Hawaii. The staff was very friendly and helpful... More

The best thing about Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is their beach. Beautiful white sand beach. Crystal clear water. You can see fish swim up to your feet! The hotel is brilliantly designed to feature the beach. As soon as you walk into the lobby it's breathtaking the way they incorporate the beach and the infinity pool into the vista. It... More
