View from our patio. BBQ Grill was handy too!

We totally enjoyed our time at Paniolo Greens. It was perfect! Our views on the golf course and location to the pool was great! We were able to rent beach chairs and cookers for our beach days too!!

Birthday goodies from Paniolo Greens
G S.

Kiana was amazing at check-in. She was very helpful & kind in helping me pull off the surprise for my husband's 50th birthday (Friday 9/13). Part 1 of my surprise to him was our stay (with our children) there. Part 2 was bringing our daughter home from college for this weekend to spend for his birthday. Kiana was very accommodating with our check in times as I didn't finish work till 4:30pm then our drive over from Hilo, hence our later after 4pm check in time. And the late arrival of our daughter's delayed flights and her drive over from Hilo. Mahalo for the kind gifts for my husband as well. This was such a great and amazing experience for my family & I and our first time here. I will definitely recommend this place to others. We will definitely be back.

For the last several dive trips to Kona, I've used Paniolo Greens as my homebase. As I like to dive both Kona & Kohala, PG is a nice spot mid-way between the two sites. With plenty of preparation, I can usually find a good rate for PG on a travel aggregator like Priceline.com or direct on Extraholidays.com. I've stayed at several of their room configurations, most recently the Kokua Suite, which has 3 bedrooms and a couch that fit 6 divers and their gear. Nothing beats a fully equipped suite with parking, kitchen, 3 patios, 3 bathrooms, and a living room. There's even a shared gas grill outside. We've used that for several end of trip grilled steak dinners. In nearby Waikoloa Village commons, there are some restaurants, a food court, and a KTA Superstore. As long as their rates are reasonable, I'll definitely keep them in mind for future Kona dive trips! Repeat and recommend!

Den/bedroom on main level in two story unit

Stayed at Paniolo Greens for a week. The property is a little older but well maintained. Rented the two story, 3 bedroom and 3 bath unit and were very pleased. The property is about a 10 minute drive to the beach so having a car is necessary. Each room essentially had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and even had a rice cooker. The fridge was large and the ice maker worked really well. Each room had a TV although in one room it was located in the closet. The washer worked well but the dryer was a little underpowered. Had to run it twice on most occasions. The pool recreation area was nice with a game room with billiards and foosball. One thing to be aware of is the pool is 3.5 - 4 ft deep so it's child friendly. There was also a 1ft deep baby pool in addition to the hot tub. If you're traveling with a large party make sure you confirm your room layouts. We were given the impression that two of the rooms in our unit would have a queen and the other a king. The master had a king but the 2nd room had two twins. The property had plenty of items to rent such as beach toys, snorkeling equipment, etc. They also allowed rooms to check out 2 blu rays at a time which was nice. One surprise was that although parking was free you had to pay $8 per day to use the a/c. You need to notify the front desk and they give you a key to turn on your a/c. That was disappointing given how much you are spending. A little too much nickel and dime. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Disgusting ants crawling around

You pay for a Hilton, you get worse than a motel 6. And, which hotel charges for room service? Paniolo does and it's not little, it's a whopping $180! Like what? Also, which hotel charges for AC? In Hawaii?!!! Crazy! The cleanliness was terrible, I highly doubt that they cleaned it at all. Don't forget the ants who call your hotel room home sweet home, and the roaches which happily roam your room. Bed bugs will happily feast on you. Disgusting! The furniture was in terrible condition, some of the chairs were ripped apart and you can clearly see the cotton in the chair! And when you ask for towels, they will take their nice time and give it to you a good 30 minutes after. Did I mention that they give you towels in trash bags? Eww. Once, I had to call 5 times to pick up towels because they never came and would always forget. And, paniolo greens is not a golf resort, it's not a beach resort, it's not a relaxing and fun resort, it's not a resort at all! I saw a sign, and it said Upcoming Renovations scheduled for 2025, ummm hello? Two more days and 2025 is done! I wouldn't be surprised if they put a sign saying upcoming renovations scheduled for 2027 and then later and later and later. Literally terrible! Oh! and notice how for the majority of bad reviews they just put your name and say the same uniform thing, well that's a clear representation of the quality of work they do, as well as how much effort they put into the work they do. Do yourself a favor and find yourself a different hotel. You'll also do the employees there a favor because they sigh anytime you ask for something and from their actions, it's not like they want you there.

The golf course
Sarah K.

We love being here. It is a great place to stay because it feels like home. We enjoy the rooms. We love the grounds and amenities. It's super convenient to shopping and it's position on the hill means there is always a breeze. There are amazing beaches close by. Most of all we love the staff who always treat us with such care and kindness.

Stayed here a while back for work. Visiting a friend this time. The place is pretty nice. Fully furnished. With a view If I had to stay here , I would, again.

Den
Kat T.

We decided on a last minute trip to the Big Island and as a group of 6, we found it difficult to find a place that was able to accommodate our big group. Most options we found were AirBnb's but many of them were small with one bathroom. We kept looking and found Paniolo Greens. We booked the Kokua Suite that had 3 bedrooms, 3 full bath and even a washer and dryer! I was a bit concerned because there were reviews regarding the place being older and not updated. We also were not sure about the "den" and how it would be as we were unable to find a photo. While this was true in some aspects, the overall place was great! We had enough space for everyone to have their own personal space and having 3 full bathrooms made getting ready much quicker and easier. We were supposed to have a King in the mail room, queen in the second bedroom and a twin bed in the den. When we got to the room, we found that the second room had two twin beds instead. We honestly didn't mind it but it would have been nice to actually have the queen bed. The two twin beds made the squeeze to get to the bathroom tight. We basically had to walk sideways to get into the bathroom. The "den" or third bedroom was a fairly nice surprise. It had a sliding glass door to get outside. The only problem was it lead right to the same area as the front door which means anyone could walk in if you leave it open. The room itself had a tv with a cable box, a ceiling fan, a twin bed against the wall in between the closet and the sliding glass door and a bed. Nothing more meaning there was absolutely no light AND no value conditioning vent! It got pretty warm in the room as it received all of the morning and early afternoon sun in the room we stayed. I ended up grabbing a standing lamp from the living room and the small ottoman to use in the room and it worked great. I added pictures only I of this space for reference. We stayed in building J and it was great because the swimming pool was right across the way which made it easy to go to and from the pool! Each unit has an assigned parking spot making it easy to park and one less thing to worry about. They also allow you to "rent" two movies a night (for free)! Please note based on the small pamphlet we were given with information, you do have to pay for AC and there is a separate key you have to insert near the old AC control. We were not told this so we struggled at first when we got into the room. After a couple of calls to the front desk, someone brought the key to us. I don't recall the daily charge for access to the AC but thankfully we were not charged when we checked out.

6/11/2021: DEAD BUGS inside dining room lamp fixture!!!!
Shirley M. F.

June 11-18, 2021: Paniolo Greens . . . Geez~List of faux pas: Paniolo Green's Housekeeping doesn't thoroughly clean as sign indicates . . . 1. Tile floors are cracked 2. DEAD BUGS riddled, nestled inside dining room lamp fixture 3. The guest bathroom bathtub's enamel peeling off 4. Patio screen door is old/worn out/difficult closing 5. Appliances such as refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range, A/Cs are old/outdated/non-energy efficient 6. There isn't a door screen for the kitchen Lanai, French doors; insects aren't deterred entering condo 7. The kitchen sink's hot/cold faucets' H2O pressure is nil; ironically, the kitchen spray nozzle has acceptable H2O pressure 8. The furniture, i.e., sofa/dining room chairs need deep cleaning-none have been cleaned 9. Paniolo Greens is an old property purchased by Shell Vacations Club Resort but, the property was basically a recycled timeshare owned by another timeshare. 10. Paniolo Greens is so far removed from basic tourist activities due to its location is in Waikoloa Village. There's an egregiously limited, Hele-On Bus service: Departs Waikoloa Village around 8:17 AM via Waikoloa Highlands Shopping Center's road bus stop and the ONLY bus service returning to Waikoloa Village is 1:35 PM!!!! Bottom line: I'll never stay at Paniolo Greens-EVER.

See all

Really 3.5 starts but rounded up. This was our second year flying from Oahu to do a staycation…read morehere. It is a nice and large resort. We really appreciate the kamaaina rate and amenities. We stayed in the palace Tower again this year and noticed quite an improvement in the rooms since last year. They were remodeled and were definitely much nicer. We really enjoy the pools, especially the one closest to the Palace tower. The only disappointing thing this year was that the bigger slide wasn't open the entire week. We were only there Sunday through Wednesday and found out the slide wasn't open Monday through Wednesday. Last year it was open every day. My nephew was definitely disappointed as the slides in the pools are the reason that he likes this resort and why we come. We also prefer the smaler pool. There are several restaurants on the property but as is usual for resorts the prices are exorbitant, especially for what you get. Most every meal we ate off the property. Drinks were very expensive at the pools too. Food and drinks being more reasonable and the slide at the smaller pool being open the entire week would have brought this rating very close to five stars. It's definitely a nice resort but some changes would make it even better. I think next year we're going to try somewhere else.

I could go on and on about how nice looking this place is...it's beautiful for sure! But when…read moreeverything outweighs that down to one star, which I rarely give out, I'm hoping your ears are perking up. If possible, I'd rather rate this place with three "Warning" symbols below one star, if I could. As a Hilton diamond level member, I have seen varying levels of Hilton properties. Nearly all are well groomed and customer service is usually pretty good. But at this place...all the workers here gave me the impression they hated tourists! Everything was just "lip service" with no real care behind their words. And despite how beautiful this place is, I have never stayed at such an inefficiently laid out property. Oh, with taxes, make sure you're adding an additional $57/day to your room rate if you have a rental car for valet parking (being so far away from nearly everything, you need one...and they know it and gouge the customer!). But don't just take my word...as one opinion should ever be the determining factor in your decision. Please read the numerous other one and two star rating reviews...the complaints are never ending. What's even sadder, is that those same complaints have been going on for on for years and still come up regularly. Some are responded to by management with the same old "sorry we didn't meet or fell short YOUR expectations!" Does anyone besides me see what they're really saying here?...they're saying it is the customers fault for expecting too much! Really! Since these negative views go back years and years, that means it's now the property culture...they're not going to change how they do things. In so many words, they're saying "take it or leave it." Personally, I will never stay here again nor will I recommend it either...in fact, I will discourage anyone asking my opinion about staying here. If you choose to stay here, good luck. Management, please do not respond as you'll only be fueling the fire with more meaningless apologies and statements about falling short.

Waikoloa Beach - A Wonderful Family Getaway in October!…read more Highly Recommended! What a beautiful blessing it was to spend time with family at Waikoloa Beach this October! This resort is absolutely family-oriented and a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and create precious memories with loved ones. We booked a room with direct pool access, and it was just perfect! One of our favorite experiences was heading to the pool as early as 5:00 AM to enjoy the peaceful morning in the jacuzzi, followed by a refreshing swim. It was such a relaxing and beautiful way to start our day! The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. A special heartfelt thank-you to Elma, Elizabeth, and the rest of the wonderful staff at Harvest 19, as well as David from Guest Services. Your kindness, warm hospitality, and genuine care made our family feel so welcomed and appreciated. We are truly grateful for the excellent service and the special attention you gave us throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful resort and would highly recommend it to families looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and memorable vacation in Hawaiʻi. Above all, we give thanks to our Lord Jesus for blessing us with the opportunity to enjoy His beautiful creation and spend precious time together as a family. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." --James 1:17 Thank You, Jesus, for the wonderful memories, the beautiful surroundings, and the kindness of the people we encountered along the way! We would definitely love to return! Mahalo nui loa!

Most of our trip was planned to be off site and in in the various areas of Waikoloa to include King and Queens Malls, and also in Kona. But when we weren't out we were either at the beach connected to the resort. Or if it was during the evening after settling in, we'd hang out in the infinity pool and or hot tub. Harvest 19; Marriott on-site restaurant is a grear place to check out. Our forst evening there we enjoyed Happy Hour at the bar, and then enjoyed breakfast there most morning after, and then a late evening dinner there as well. Our room was really nice, and our patio area overlooked the pool and restaurant area which was nice. I also liked how close we were to the beach and ocean; specifically Anaeho' Omalu Bay. We went out a number of times during our stay, and it was just a short walk from the pool area to the beach. And on your way you we took a path that took us over some small ponds. Overall: We really enjoyed out stay at the resort.

Every area is picture perfect, and the care that goes into maintaining this property is incredible. We saw gardeners working every day, waterfalls being cleaned each morning, and even housekeeping polishing the lobby railings. Everything was spotless! We opted for a suite upgrade with two bathrooms and two balconies, and it was just perfect. From the beautiful furnishings to the beds and pillows, we loved everything about our room. Housekeeping went above and beyond throughout our stay. Our Costco Travel package included daily breakfast, which would have been around $130 for two with tip. That was such a wonderful inclusion, and the breakfast had a large variety of high-quality food. The attention to detail throughout this hotel truly impressed us. A five-star experience in every way, and we could not have been happier with our stay!

The hotel is located about 30 minutes above the KOA airport and 40 something minutes above Kona. It is around 30 minutes to Waimea. It is in a beautiful enclave with other resorts. The Fairmont Orchid has perfectly manicured and very walk friendly grounds. The pool and spa are open 24/7. The private beach is absolutely perfect for people looking for family and simple hangout time as well as people looking to go just passed the lava reef barrier and for dynamic adventures in the surf and reef beyond. Staff were incredibly helpful and incredibly pleasant! Our room was beautiful. The carpet is older and definitely could be replaced and maybe a touchup of paint. But otherwise it was spacious, incredibly accommodating , and in terms of shower and bathing facilities two could independently clean-up at once , a comfortable bed, a good size TV, excellent air-conditioning and a large patio. Food and drinks were great. There are options to use Brown's Deli for breakfast and they include gluten-free! You can do specialty dinners at multiple restaurants as well as room service. The outside bar-restaurant was closed for renovations while we were there so we didn't get one option we would've enjoyed. The beach bar is excellent to spend time at and and also has great food options via the airstream trailer behind. Prices at the Fairmont Orchid are resort standard and not that much higher than the rest of the island. A daily resort fee of $50. Parking $40 for self $60 for valet. Food prices are island prices so you're looking in the $20's-$30's for most items. We had an amazing time and can't wait to find a reason to come back with friends and family or just ourselves on another trip!

There were several different swimming areas, water slides, a lazy river, and we also loved being able to visit the lagoon at Hilton Waikoloa Village. The kids had plenty of options, and it made the resort feel very family-friendly. The shuttle between the properties was also really convenient. We stayed in a two-bedroom unit, which was perfect for our family. Having the extra space, full kitchen, and in-unit washer and dryer made the trip so much easier. I really liked having the comfort of a condo while still getting the amenities and access that come with a major Hilton resort. There were definitely some areas that could be improved. The Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable during our stay, to the point that the TVs in our room weren't working properly. Towels at some of the more remote swimming areas weren't always replenished. The food was probably our biggest disappointment at the restaurant clubhouse. The Bistro was very expensive for the quality of food we received, and unfortunately we barely ate what we ordered. Since the resort is somewhat removed from a lot of dining options, I really think the on-site food could be much better. Overall, we really liked the spacious accommodations, family amenities, lagoon access, water slides, shuttle service, crafts, classes, game room with many things for the kids to enjoy. With better Wi-fi and much better food options, this could be an even stronger resort experience.

That's just a another way to milk money from people, there is plenty of parking and it's so far away from and city, there is no need to charge for parking. Front desk also lies through their teeth and wants to tell us that our booked unit isn't available at all during a 10 day stay and we have to deal with the ground floor unit that is left. No one at all is moving within those days for us to get back into what we booked and have been in for years. Sorry if I don't believe that and absolutely no interested from anyone there addressing the problem. They know people can't just check into another hotel, especially since they require a 30 day cancellation notice and we wouldn't get our money back. I'm so disappointed, this will be our last stay here. Thanks for ruining a much needed vacation for us.

BAD COCKROACH INFESTATION!!…read more We stayed here for 5 nights in Aug 2025 and unfortunately our experience was ruined by a persistent roach infestation inside our unit. On the very first night, we killed six live roaches indoors. Over the next two days, we encountered several more inside--including one crawling near my foot while we were eating at the kitchen table--which terrified my children. We also saw many on the patio, along with ants along the wall near the sliding doors. We were unable to use the patio or keep the doors open for fresh air. Management sent pest control to spray, but the cockroach sightings continued. They offered less than 10% partial compensation, but it didn't make up for losing the ability to relax or feel comfortable in the unit for the majority of our stay. We understand Hawaii has tropical insects, but this went far beyond the occasional sighting. This was a recurring and disruptive issue that affected our enjoyment of the vacation. Management said it's "normal" for Hawaii. Well, I've been coming to Hawaii for decades and I can confidently say this is a bad infestation because I have never before experienced anything like this. Especially at resort (supposedly) of this caliber and price point. And management's response was slow and unsatisfactory. I do NOT recommend this resort. Proceed with caution--especially if considering a ground-level unit.

Blown away - Thank you Charlie Parker…read more We had a wonderful week at the Four Seasons Hualalai and wanted to thank you and your team for such a memorable stay. The resort is absolutely beautiful, and the customer service is truly exceptional. Everything feels clean, fresh and very well maintained. We really enjoyed our dinners at Ulu and Beach Tree, both of which were excellent. Our room had a bueatiful view, and the gym was fantastic, with just about everything you could want. Most importantly, your team went above and beyond to make us feel special and accomadated throughout our stay. It's the little touches and attention to detail that really make a difference. Thank you again for a wonderful experiance. We look forward to returning!

The grounds here are beautiful. At night the ambiance feels magical. The spa and fitness facilities…read moreare lovely with tons of equipment, saunas, steam room, cold plunge, hot tub, a giant lap pool. The hotel has plenty of pools and restaurants but the chair management at the pool could be improved. It seemed like guests would reserve their chairs early and the chairs were not turned over once they left. We would walk by and see tons of towels showing chairs were claimed but no one in sight. The only pool that you are able to easily get a chair at is the spa fitness center pool. If you want a safe / easy snorkel option, they have a snorkel pond; King's Pond is 1.8-million-gallon carved lava rock aquarium with tropical fish and spotted eagle rays.
