Many of the resorts claim to be oceanfront.
Pictures speak for themselves.
Below are links to our own aerial photos of most of the hotels and condos on the island. We have labeled the buildings on many of them so you can see for yourself what might be the best part of each resort to stay in. Refer to the candid reviews of each resort in our book, Hawaii The Big Island Revealed , to see if you even want to stay there at all. We sometimes refer to specific buildings or wings in our reviews, steering you away from some parts of the resort and toward others to maximize your stay. On some photos you'll notice that the ocean isn't always blue.
