Incredible stay! The beach was 1000/10 and we were so lucky to snorkel with multiple sea turtles and lots of fish in the calm cove. The walking trail along the coast on the property was a great way to start our mornings! Both pools were refreshing but we preferred the adults only pool for the view and privacy. All of the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient and the grounds, beach and pool areas were kept immaculately. We were offered a free upgrade at check in to an ocean view room because of our anniversary and we were treated to daily ocean sunsets from our balcony! Don’t miss stargazing on the property, the golf course area was a great place to do some astrophotography. Ikena Landing breakfast was full of options (loved the bread pudding), Piko coffee was delicious, and Naupaka was convenient for mid day lunch and snacks. The only complaint we had was that Meridias menu was not vegetarian friendly as it had limited options. We did visit the sister property next door for dinner at Copper Bar and the beach (Mauna Kea Beach Hotel) and while the food was good, we noticed their staff was less warm/welcoming and lack of attention to detail was evident in comparison to the Westin (empty glasses everywhere on common tables, the beach lawn chairs were extremely worn and unsightly for the exorbitant nightly price). We are so grateful our experience at the Westin was the opposite for the better!

Six days at the Westin Hapuna Beach. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel facilities were in really good shape considering how old they are. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was very good and always kept nicely stocked The only downside to the hotel was how far it took to get to the beach people with mobility issues that want to hang out on the beach should not come to this resort I found the Internet to be a very good speed Housekeeping was also very efficient and cleaned our room every day regardless of when we left it

This place is over the top! Service A+, GORGEOUS views. I think all rooms are ocean facing, some just closer or higher. So quiet at night and you can see lots of stars. Nice gentle beach. Luxury rooms. Only complaint there was a 6.0 earthquake! Haha
