Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel

There were three of us in one room, and because the room and bathroom are generously sized, it worked well. The staff was gracious but not fawning and the setting is fabulous. The room was quiet and well stocked with towels, etc. My suggestions include updating the funky old-style TV, and providing three chairs rather than two for the patio.

Very nice Hotel would definitely stay again

The only issue could be your room location. Our first room was a looong ways away from the hotel center and lobby and restaurants. We were accomodated with a much closer room which was great. Super beach and well located on the Island.

a piece of heaven in the big island.

the resort and lovely vistas from your room, the staff and the semi-private beach are heavenly, and perfect for a leisurely and unhurried pace, and far from kona. i always have a great time in Hapuna and I already can't wait to go back there again.

Good and nice

Beautiful beach, quiet place, spacious rooms. A bit outdated. My room was far from everything and had to walk from the parking about 300 meters....yes! Very quiet, good golf course. I would recommend it but try to get a room near the entrance because it is a very wide building and there´s no transportation between the towers but your feet.

To the North side, half an hour you'll find Hawi a very nice little town to stop for a while. Nice Farmers Marketplace. Anothe half hour and finally -this is the pay off- you get to Pololu Valley, a beautiful scenario with a black sand beach.

Good Location poor hotel

I only a view could make happy this hotel would get five stars, but everything her is only for money or not possible. WLAN 25 Dollar a day Airport shuttle no pay by yourself Tours only 2 offers for a pick up from the Hotel Snorkel gear 8 dollar an hour no day charge possible The one restaurant which is open is pricy and not really good. You i felt always that the only want the money and not an happy customer. I would stay their when it is a real 4 star hotel again with service.

Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel!

It was a perfect Honeymoon in a great hotel on September 2012. We picked this hotel because of the great location. It has great beach access, not very far from other entertainments such as shopping, eating, etc...The staff were very helpful and friendly. The dinners were good wit a lot of choices. We enjoyed talking to the staff during dinner or breakfast. Will come back again.
