Today I stopped in to pick up a handful of items. I will usually check the app to make sure the item is in stock before going and today was no different (~ 3:30 p.m. on a Wednesday). According to the app, the items I wanted were in stock but in fact, they did not have the items in stock. In fact, one of the items, men's body wash was almost completely barren. The shelves looked empty as if they were moving the products to another area. This is not only frustrating but also a big waste of my time. In the past, I've had employees tell me that the app doesn't reflect their stock. Perhaps this is just a drawback of the app but perhaps they should indicate with a note stating the store may not have the item in question. read more

Great place to shop when you need some groceries on vacation. Very large store with great souvenirs and items. I found some whole coffee beans for $11. Lots of parking and there was even a lady singing cover songs. read more

Didn't really want to come by here, but I needed some compression socks. Shouldn't have been surprised at all to find that many of the souvenirs I saw elsewhere in Kailua-Kona were much more discounted here, and with more options. If you're looking for buy your drinking water by the gallon, get it here. It's cheaper than KTA. read more

It's a Walmart. I have no idea why Yelp would want me to write a review for something 98% of all Americans tolerant. But here it is. You can find anything you probably need, but it's as bad as having to visit your Ex or the dentist (no offense to the dentist out there) read more

Hot girl tip, no one can tell if you bought your lei from Walmart for $10-13 or from another place... for much more Another hot girl tip the boogie boards here are a good buy and when you're done you can gift to another family at the beach if you don't plan on keeping your board or flying home with it. (Same with sand toys) See you at the beach babes! read more

Stopped at this Walmart for some essentials like sunscreen and bug spray. It's located about 20 minutes from Kona airport, which makes it a super convenient first stop after landing. It's also a great place to stock up on snacks and drinks for the trip, plus souvenirs and Hawaiian treats to bring back home. read more

This is the only Walmart in the area and we needed a few items. They have a ton of things. It's a regular, busy Walmart. If you visit here, try to get everything you need. Small things you forgot to bring like more sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, small cooler. Things like those will add up from other places on the island. Good prices and will have almost everything you need for your vacation. Just make sure to make that list before you arrive because it's a busy store and you just want to get out. read more

So many local snacks. Store is big but organized. I love going here with my familh when we need a quick grocery restock trip read more

My wife sent me here to get sunscreen and mascara. Oy vey. But guess what they have it all here. Fast in and out. Plenty of parking. Clean. Friendly and fast staff. I'm glad I could grab and go. read more

We went here twice while in Kona so far and anyone we asked for assistance couldn't have possibly been any more rude. Seriously screw this place I'd rather spend more money at a local ABC store. We asked a lady we're ground beef was and she wouldn't even look at us. Just said "we only have frozen." No idle no suggestions, nothing. read more

Shopped on: 12/11/2024 Look, it's probably pretty much a typical WalMart, no matter where you go what you're doing. What's positive about that is consistency, expectations set, etc. Went to this store as an online search indicated there was Hawaii touristy stuff there. I was looking for a hoodie for a family member. You walk in and on the right there's a good selection of typical (think National Lampoon's Vacation movie) Hawaii stuff with tshirts, hoodies and shorts for boys and men only. Nothing female'ish at all. Asked a couple associates and they agreed there was nothing in the store Hawaii tourist female. Otherwise all was as expected. You know what wasn't expected? The parking lot. Overfull, crazy parking, irritating. Maybe visit at 7am and you could park? That's when we left to get lunch before I became the only person I'd seen upset in Hawaii. read more

It's a Walmart so you know what you're getting. But this one has a great souvenir department! Highly recommend it. We also got snorkeling gear, snacks, and drinks. They were having a Children's Miracle Network fundraiser over the two days we went there. Sooooo nice they're giving back to those who are in need! TIP: don't battle for the front row parking spots here. What a mess. Park on the south side of the lot. It's worth the no stress. read more

The Kona WalMart & their famous wall of SPAM .. see photo !! Since World War ll, spam has remained an island staple. It's available everywhere. Even the McDonald's inside this Walmart, SPAM & rice is a featured meal. On the brighter side, the WalMart's in Hawaii have a huge assortment of quality Hula material for those talented enough to sew & craft. They also carry an entire department of Hawaiian based tourist items at prices far below the gift-shops. The 4 star rating is due to WalMart discontinuing their complimentary shuttle bus from the cruise ship dock to the store. This is a serious setback for crew members who need to stock up on personal items & can't afford taxi cab service. This store sits high in the hills above town & has the best unobstructed view of the Kona Coast & Pacific Ocean in all of this beautiful area's landscape. read more

Walmart - Wall of SPAM - Grocery Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Huge store, prices were higher then expected. Didn't have any fresh meat. Purchased pool noodles which were under 3$ Got a cool Ozzy Diary of a Madman Funko Pop complete with fake blood for 19.99$ It had rang up for 24.99$ even though there was a tag with the exact description on it for 19.99$ After a brief discussion, we managed to get the 2 of them we had brought up for that price. The register also didn't show any prices, so my 70$+ total went down to under 50$ when I questioned it and items were rung up again ?? This store also sells some souvenir items behind where the McDonalds is located. I found some really nice Hawaii mugs, however the chocolate & nuts were over priced. They also don't accept Apple Pay which would of been convenient. read more

If you need to go to a Walmart, and you are in Kona, this is the one you will go to. It is a Walmart. We mainly found the things we wanted, though the produce was definitely something I passed on in favor of the normal supermarket. read more

Very convenient place in Kona to shop for a wide variety of items at reasonable cost. Plenty of parking with a relatively newer looking small McDonald's inside. Not that cheap for a Wal Mart but everything is pricier on the island, so it's still a good deal here so this place gets a lot of business. read more

Placed a online order for grocery's and pharmacy items to be delivered. The items were delivered as ordered. In reviewing my account They charged me twice. When I contacted customer service ( a call center not in the US). The person was hard to understand along with a bad connection. To add insult to injury I was told that the amount pending on my account of 106.42 will not be available for 10 days even though Walmart already charged and was paid 103.37. So in a nutshell they held back 106.42 in case they needed to make substitutions and went ahead and charged the actual amount of 103.37. And will sit on my 106.42 for 10 days before it is refunded. read more

in all honesty I love prices at walmart and have never had an issue with rude workers until today. I didn't see a divider thing mybe I didn't look hard enough but I waited until the cashier was through with the customer before me. and she was VERY nice to them. I wasn't greeted by my cashier today threw the divider on top of my things. which lead me to believe she was upset. After I asked if she wanted me to put it where it belongs. She gave me some serious attitude. I didn't like that. And i expressed my feelings towards her. I had my 3 kids with me too. I asked her what her name Was. CATHY! and made a report To the manager and they were so thankful that I did. Don't be afraid to report people who are rude Or throw things. hopefully Management handled her. read more

Walmarts in other states are always so much cooler. This store is massive and was massively busy. We needed to stock up for our stay. The home we were staying at didn't even have a coffee machine. I cant commence a vacation with out coffee. But we also needed snacks and bubbly water and Coke Zero. Some of my favorites I found were as follows: Jars of really delicious Kim-Chi. I even bought some to put in my suit case to take home. Bags and bags of Chicharrons that I've never seen at my Walmart. Salt and vinegar was my favorite flavor. Plain was also great. Great clothes. If you forgot your swim suit come to Walmart. You'll be set. We stocked up on regular breakfast items and other regular snacks like avocados and salami. They had everything we needed. It was so busy here though. So beware of lines and just crowds of people meandering around. read more

Walmart Eyeglasses Center- everyone was nice and helpful. However there was one worker who I approached when there was no one else in the store. She was a technician who was sitting and on her phone. I had asked her about whether or not I qualified for my free annual eye exam, and she deferred me to call my provider. I went back the next day, approached another worker and she gladly looked up my coverage and saw I would qualify for a free exam next month. This maybe took all but 1 minute. The difference to me is one worker wanted to help, and the other wanted to go back to her phone. read more

Spacious, well-stocked, organized and clean, this Walmart is practically a Target! And Rudolpho at the front registers is a pleasure to interact with! I never thought I'd say this about a Walmart, but....five stars! read more

Taking into consideration this Walmart is in Hawaii, it is rather affordable. Yes, Its smaller than a super Walmart in the mainland, but the prices aren't really that much higher. A 3 pound bag of mandarin oranges were $6.40, instead of 5ish on the mainland. The ménage trios wine s was $9.98 vs $7.50 at costco in the states. Parking was dense, but plenty of open spaces. The lines were not worse than any other Walmart I have been in. read more

I love going to Walmarts whenever we are in Hawaii. There are alot of Hawaiian Souvenirs, candies, chocolates, cookies and clothing too. Organized as well and friendly staff. read more

I love coming to this Walmart. There are lot of souvenir items as well as Hawaiian-based food and drinks. I bought flower necklaces, a flower hair clip, a Hawaiian dress, soap, pancake mix, SPAM of different flavors such as: Bacon, Hickory, Jalapeño, Lite & Turkey and ALOHA MAID drinks such as: Pineapple Orange, Fuji Apple & Strawberry Orange. I was a very happy person packing all of these items and taking them all home! :) read more

We always stop at Walmart when we are on a cruise. They have a great selection of Hawaiian print fabric at a good price. I make Hawaiian shirts for my husband and sometimes Hawaiian print cummerbuns and ties to wear with his Tuxedo. There is always a good selection of men's and women's Hawaiian print attire. They have a good selection of sizes. The people are so friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars was because there wasn't a shuttle from the ship to and from Walmart. We caught a cab, but the crew members depended on the shuttle in previous years. read more

We visited quite a few times. Big store and gets really crowded. They don't have bags, fyi. So bring your own or buy a tote while there to carry your stuff. Self checkout as well as regular checkout available. You can also find macadamia type snacks and Kona coffee here to take back to family and friends. Masks required. read more

Today I went to buy Christmas presents for my family I PAID FOR MY THINGS when I was heading to the door I give my receipt to the Walmart employee (a lady) she took the receipt looked at the date on the receipt and told me "this is the 16"and I told her "I just bought it" and then the employees went on and on that it was the 16 and then a man came I assume is the Walmart manager he look at the receipt and went to check the cameras he confirmed I did pay it, not even a single sorry from the employee lady, they made me look like a fool I felt embarrassed, scared, at the point of almost crying , don't get me wrong I love shopping at Walmart but today was not it I'm sorry read more

If you're a visiting tourist, this is a great place to shop for souvenir gift items to take back as well as essentials you may need and snacks. There's a McDonald's inside the store too. Overall, a nice store. Lot's of local flavor and unique items to Hawaii, especially food snacks and clothing. read more

We like to mosey through Walmart to check out their souvenir section. And the local snacks. This time we didn't buy anything but it's always nice to see if there's a treasure or something unique. Case in point - I like the flip flop floor mop. For wiping up water spots on the kitchen floor. Slip your foot through the toe thong and wipe away. It's less expensive here than at Hilo Hattie. Yesterday the person who checks your receipt on the way out was somewhat less ohana. She was cranky. I'm sorry we came in through the exit. No need to scold us. read more

They are seriously obsessed with being stole from that they put a person in the front and make you wait in line to leave so that they can go over each ticket I wish that they would put more towards customer service read more

Good option for tourists. Open 6am-11pm but going at off peak hours is worth it. Hawaiian trip related products Leis & flowers, macadamian nut snacks, swim suits, sunscreens, pool & beach toys, water shoes Groceries not a superstore but as much as a small grocery store, has milk, eggs, produce (small & ok quality), frozen foods, dry cereal, rice, etc. Japanese products some of the best prices on candies & snacks from Japan McDonald's in-store version is on the right side as you enter; currently no in-dining Located -corner of Henry & Hwy 11 -adjacent to Safeway plaza read more

Walmart. Always busy. Lots of variety and best for gifts to send home from the islands. Grocery section not as big as most but will get the job done and much lower than other area store prices. read more

Of all the Walmarts in Cali and Hawaii, this one isn't as busy. You have space to roam through the aisles and comfortably debate in your head whether you should buy a bunch of things you probably don't need. I love this Walmart. It's organized and clean. I was able to get most of my souvenirs/snacks here. I've come here probably 5 times this week because I kept making more room in my suitcase for more things - plus I returned some Lion coffee after finding a better deal at KTA. It was a substantial difference and I wanted to come back for more things. I can't wait to plan my next trip to Kona again. I'll come back here for goodies. By the way, the staff are generally super friendly..maybe one or two staff that aren't as happy, but I don't mind it..it can get rough working at Walmart. read more

It's great for hawaii. First thing after leaving airport is to go Walmart and grab some water , coke , beers before going to hotel. They are comparatively costlier than other states but still no one can beat Walmart pricing on island. Great to see one super store on our way to hotel. read more

I tried to contact the Kailua-Kona Wal-Mart store by telephone on Sunday, April 30th, 2023 at 8:30 pm. The first three times I called, the phone rang for over four minutes after the automated attendant answered and tried to connect me to the operator. After another three minutes, their system by hung up on me!!! On my fourth, I waited for another three minutes, then someone answered the phone speaking some foreign language. I asked if that person spoke English. She said: "A little bit." I requested someone who could speak English. I was treated very rudely, and then she hung up read more

I was glad to see that even on Hawaii, Walmart wasn't really all that expensive. Some of the Hawaiian souvenirs and shirts seemed a bit overpriced but the rest of the household goods seemed pretty much in line with what you'd pay on the mainland. I was able to get a cute pair of flip flops for $4 or so. They have self checkout here, whoohoo. read more
