I’m so glad I decided to stay here as opposed to Kona. Waikoloa Village is the ideal central location to explore the whole island and it’s close to the best beaches, which are 30-50 mins north of Kona in the Kohala coast. There is a shopping center with gas, groceries and restaurants just 2 mins away, and more shopping (and huge ABC store) and access to beaches only 5-6 miles away.
The condo itself was quiet, clean and spacious. There is also a pool, hot tub, tennis court, ping pong table and a gym. They offer beach chair, snorkeling equipment, coolers for rent at reasonable prices if needed. The decor of the unit was a little too formal for my liking but I wasn’t there much anyways. Would definitely stay here again and recommend Waikoloa village as a home base for visiting the Big Island!
