Beautiful resort with excellent food options and unparalleled service. Our second time here and we will undoubtedly return.

Beautiful resort and perfect for families with young kids. Our boys went to the kids club for two days and had a great time. We really enjoyed hanging out around the lawn in the evening and watching the kids run around and play.

Amazing experience with the family. We will definitely be back. We’ve stayed at multiple Big Island properties including the FS and the Mauna Lani stands above. The beach is the best on the Kona coast with a protected cove and great snorkeling steps from shore. We saw sea turtles every day. Service and quality of the rooms was A+!

Good looking resort and quite expansive grounds. However very short on pool and beach lounge chairs so as hotel guests you don't really have room to sit. Secondly cove looks good but is very rocky and lots of pebbles making it difficult to enjoy the Hawaii beach experience of toes in sand and waves. We had to wear flip flops the entire time in the small rocky cove. If paddle boarding it's fine but again not a true beach. Lots of great options nearby. We visited Mauna Kea and their beach is amazing so is westin on hapuna beach. All in same area. Finally and most disappointing is the spotty service. Restaurant staff was friendly, but surf shack, concierge, pool and beach staff were clearly having a bad day. They were taking it out on us with their attitude and sullen responses on how nothing was available and a no to almost every question before we finish the sentence. Disappointing stay. Only saving grace was our room and balcony has a good view. Two more days here and looking for options to spend as much time away as possible which is a pity having paid for a resort to relax at.

This is hands down one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. They surprised us with upgraded rooms that had partial ocean views, they supplied our room with fresh ice-cold water every day, and the hotel just had wonderful decor and an amazing vibe. If you are comparing hotels on the Big Island, stay here. You will not regret it.
