Hotels on the Lake in Waikoloa

The hotel was a little more run down than I remember. The tram did not go all the way to our tower that we stayed in (ocean tower) so that was quite some walking that we had to do with 3 children. Especially since there was only one working tram, if you missed it, it was a 15-17 min wait for it to come back around. Boats were down so the tram is the only transportation to go from tower to tower unless you would like to get your 10,000 steps in. My kids did enjoy the resort itself but the walking after 3 nights and 4 days was a lot. Food is extremely pricey and not worth it so you have to go off site to queens, kings or up to the village to get a nice bite to eat. The bell service was really nice. The burger at Kona pool was great for $23. Overall is was an “okay to very nice” stay

So many wonderful pools, but especially loved the adults-only pool. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Resort area was beautiful and well maintained. Our King Bed Junior Suite was spacious and had a large modern bathroom with large walk-in shower, as well as a good-size kitchen space, bedroom space, living room space, and an in-unit washer and dryer, which was truly appreciated. The balcony was also very nice. There was a shuttle which made it very convenient to get around the resort when we didn't wish to drive ourselves. Even the golf cart utility vehicles offered to give rides. Two shopping malls with a nice variety of restaurants and stores were conveniently located on property. Location was close to beaches and to highways that we could easily access to take drives to other cities and sights on the Big Island. We would definitely stay at this resort again!

Newly renovated room. pool close by. View of golf course was sweet. Air conditioning was well equipped. Kitchen had all necessary items. We will rebook with Paniolo Greens in the future for sure. Affordable rates.
