Waikoloa Holiday Packages

View is beautiful, can watch the sun set. A bit far away from town to be able to walk with kids to be able to walk to the restaurants.

The hotel grounds are beautiful, pools area is probably one of the best I’ve been to. Bed was very comfortable. Got a free upgrade which was nice. Staff are pleasant. The disappointing this about this hotel is that they put a charge on everything you use, so all the extra services they offer like fitness classes, cultural classes, salt water lagoon, pool seats, and other activities have an extra charge. Most hotels include these services in the hotel fee but here they add on an extra charge for everything. Beware of the resort fee which is added on top of your room charge $52USD per night (for classes, lagoon, internet - we never even used these but still got charged for it) and that doesn’t include car parking which is an extra $33USD per day. Could’ve booked a different 5 star hotel minus all the extra fees. Furthermore, when we arrived the shower still had soap scum on the floor. Would’ve expected more from a hotel like this.

The building is starting to look a little dated, but the rooms were well appointed. Wifi speed excellent. Car parking easy to access. We had a water leak one night in our room and management dealt with it very promptly, got it repaired and offered a small compensation.

The Outrigger is surrounded by beautiful gardens and a superb Seaview. We enjoyed walking around the gardens. The pools are lovely however, we did not get to use much as out all day, every day during our stay. The bed in our room was super soft and the pillows are practically flat! I asked at reception if beds are the same in every room (even top $ rooms) and was advised they are. Both my husband and I woke with lower back pain every day. (& this is NOT usual) The toilets need upgrading as antiquated. For the money you pay one would expect a decent bed & pillows! A microwave in each room would be very helpful. The 9pm closing time in the dining room was too early for our liking. I would recommend 10pm at least. Each time I passed reception there was only one person on and for a hotel this large I think at least two customer service people should be on duty at all times. The wait to speak to someone equated to poor customer service in my book. Our biggest gripe was the most uncomfortable bed and pillows and for this reason I would never stay at this resort again. Sorry.
