Independent, Hawaii Island hotels

"Always love this hotel and beach. Breakfast buffet was delicious (big thank you to the hostesses and wait staff for their kind service each day) and Meredia was spectacular. Sunsets are not to be skipped, especially from the Meredia walkway, bar and restaurant. Love that Kayla in the Meredia bar remembered us from the last 2 years. Bummed that the piano was removed from the Meredia but found the piano player up in Piko with a portable piano. The other musicians he set up to play were fabulous as well. Room was clean and very comfortable. Love the adult pool. Will return. "

"Love it!"

"Pools are fantastic. Very nice property. Beautiful view of the ocean. "

"What an amazing place!!! I was a little nervous about the comments regarding long walk to your room but after arrival the view on the small walk is mind blowing. I saw so much wildlife and was so lucky to get a ground floor unit that opened up to the golf course and ocean. Just an outstanding room and outstanding property. Will definitely stay again. The place is so big it’s never crowed. Each morning during my ocean walk I could go 10 minutes and not see another guest. "

"Perfect for a place to stay as a family. Comfortable, quick access, breakfast, good fast stable WiFi, walkable to beach and restaurants, safe"

"Amazing. 7 nights for that price. It’s not an apartment. It’s not a mini studio. You get a 1 floor HOUSE. Gorgeous. "

"My family and I stayed here for five nights and were pleasantly surprised to arrive to an upgraded room! Ren at the front desk was amazing and sent up some fruit for our arrival and was kind enough to gift two stuffed turtles for my two sons, she truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay started off right! The property was perfect for my family, lots of space for my four-year-old son to run around, the lagoon was essential, and the pool was always clean. We went during a week that wasn’t too busy so there was no issues finding lounge chairs ever, and we also booked a few daybeds during our stay, which were nice. The staff was always helpful and nice, and it was especially nice to have self-serve laundry on site. We’ll definitely be back!"

"My husband and I stayed at this resort for a week. They recently renovated it, and were doing some construction during our trip but it had minimal impact on our stay. The front desk staff, house keeping, restaurant staff and person to assist with planning trips were all amazingly friendly and extremely helpful. The staff at the coffee bar were a little less friendly in the mornings. The staff was very accommodating to our needs when asked specific requests. The pools are nice size and warm. The boat rides for the manta rays and dolphin adventures were walkable from the resort. There is a golf course next door that is very nice to play on. I would reccomend bringing your own toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner as the one provided are not the best quality. The rooms are a good size and the beds are comfortable. The luau onsite was very enjoyable. The resort could benefit from some extra resturants. The menu was brand new but with limited options and slightly pricey. Self parking was more than expected at $40 per day. But overall the resort offered options for many other activities onsite and off site. I would stay here again. "

"Very clean, nice and friendly staff! We enjoyed our time there!!"
