Great place to stay with family. Clean and accommodations were great. Only minor issue was the garage was bit too small for our minivan but we parked outside which worked out better. We also frequented a market nearby which was great. Highly recommend.

It was mostly fine. Complex itself was nice. Big problem was bed comfort. They were simply awful. Some maintenance issues, too, but those were less problematic.

Wonderful condo complex with bbq area, pool n hot tub and walking distance to shops n restaurants. Roomy 2 bedroom 2bath with full kitchen n living/dining area. Outdoor patio. Short drive to beautiful Hapuna beach. Close enough to Havi, Waimea and Kona for exploring. And don’t forgot beautiful Akaka falls and Hawaii botanical gardens over by Hilo. Great vacation!

Great place to stay in Waikoloa
Condo had very comfortable beds and clean linens with overall nice furniture but we had to see small insets all the time. Kitchen was nice equipped with utensils and such but looks kinda old and not very clean. We love the area but condos are getting older and older each year.

Waikoloa Fairway Villas - Check-in
Stay was great, however late check-in was a bit of a hassle, we called the number on the Hotels.com confirmation email early in the day to let them know we would be late and were told the key would be at office. However the office is at a different condo unit 5 minute drive away and the gates were locked and needed code to get in. After 45 minutes of being on the phone. The help number finally called the manager and we they gave proper instructions. It would be helpful to have this information given upon confirmation of rooms. Waikoloa is a nice area but is a 30 minute drive to Kailua-Kona. We love the Big Island but to get full benefits you will need to drive to different areas. The book "Hawaii the Big Island Revealed" is a great reference. If you love ocean adventure look up "Wild Hawaii Ocean Adventures" awesome snorkel adventure and the Manta Ray snorkel trips are worth the money. Hapuna Beach is a great beach for boogie boarding which is a 10 minute drive from condo.

Lovely condo
Really beautiful, well equipped, up-to-date, condo unit with excellent services, and full WiFi (although that was not noted in the description on Expedia). The unit was a great home away from home. The location was quiet, we had a lovely lanai overlooking the golf course. The pool and fitness equipment were in great shape, the gardens groomed, and the staff very helpful and polite. Wouldn't hesitate to go back nor to recommend to others.

Updated and beautiful condo and area.
Had problems with late check-in because they use service out of South Carolina. Terrible and rude but Hawaii office staff is awesome and very nice-great location and condo made up for rudeness. If they could get rid of call center in states this would have received all 5! Only other complaint was bed was a little hard. Beautiful grounds and condo.

do not arrive after normal duty hours
There is no after hour arrival office for this property. I called the after hour contact number and the answering service could not tell me when the after hour office was located. There are 4 property's with only one office and it is located in the "views". After finding another guest that experience the same problem, he was kind enough to take me to the location where I could receive my room # and key. This was a very fustration experience to start our vacation. We had no other problems after that first night.

Nice 2 Bedroom Condo
The condo was great. We loved the updated look and it was very comfortable for the 4 of us staying there. I like that it has a washer and dryer and already had laundry soap available! In addition, condiments were there too, which makes things a lot easier. Nice little extras.Only one issue was that we left before the office was open to return the keys. We called to ask about that before we left and were told the answering service would open the gate to the complex where we return the keys. The answering service was totally clueless. Had no idea what we were talking about. We parked and I ended up walking around the gate to get in and walked to the building to return them! That is completely avoidable - a little more training please.

on the bubble
This was the third time I've stayed at this condo since 2005. At one time this was one of the finest properties I had ever stayed at. It was first class in every way. That is what makes this review partly disappointing. First, the good (and there is a lot of good). The property itself is beautiful. The landscaping and outside upkeep is wonderful. It is a gated community and there is a real sense of privacy and security. The accoutrements are fantastic! Pools, hot tubs, BB-Q's, hiking trails, etc. There is a golf course, shopping, and of course the beach all close by. The location is perfect and maybe the best in Waikoloa. It's off the beaten path and right in the middle of everything. That is difficult to pull off. Here is the issue to be aware of; The condo's are in need of interior renovation. Simple things like paint and furniture would go along way. Carpet, appliance, and fixture updating would bring this property back to "10". If this place was average it's not a big deal, but this place is special and I hope it will continue to always be so. Overall it's a value because of the location, size, and it's initial level of finish. If the upkeep doesn't happen it would be a waste of a unique and very nice accommodation.

Nice place to stay, but!!!
The check in office is a distance away from the property. The condo itself was very clean and nice. There were a couple of issues, like no hot water upon checking in, water dispenser and ice maker did not work on fridge. The condo itself was nice but the walls and ceiling are paper thin. The owners above us sounded like stampeding buffalo. The guests next door to us was also noisy by slamming doors and drawers. To make it worse, he was an early riser, 5:30 am. All in all with all of these issues, the condo itself was very nice especially since we were not in the condo much other than to sleep.

Waikoloa Fairway Villas, big island
We've just spent a great vacation in the pretty property. Situated between The King's store and The Queen's market, comvinient for every shopping, so we six people could have luxury breakfast each morning at the sunny balcany with open golf green! and the property is calm, family friendly, easy parking, not far driving from kona airport. We also have great impression with the villa's interior decoration and its full facilities, which makes it's possible for us to hold a homeaway Chinese New Year celebration party! The villa is new, clean, spacious, convinient with chic decoration. Highly recommanded, will be back is possible.

once we found the main office to check in everything went really well. office staff very friendly and helpful. A few things needed repairing and were taken care of right away. I would suggest to upgrade the oceanic box and remote it is working a liitle slow. The rooms were clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Waikoloa Fairway Villas - Twice as good the second time!
Aloha! Our second visit to WFV and Kona was even better than the first. We checked in without any issues. Our 2 bedroom condo was very clean. We'd wanted a top floor unit as we'd had one before - but we got a second floor unit this time - no biggie. Still great golf course views. No real noise issues. Easy in-and-out parking – having a carport this time was nice as the shade kept the car a bit cooler. The grounds at WFV are very well maintained. The saline pool is nice (small but adequate). There are even more shops and restaurants in the Waikoloa area than last time we visited. Bring your money if you want to enjoy the convenience of these shops as they are pretty pricey – even by normal Hawaiian standards. The new supermarket (like a pricey Whole Foods) was real nice. We hit up Costco on the day of arrival for some essentials (margarita mix, tequila and beer) and filled up the fridge with food from Safeway. Having a condo with a kitchen adds so much to the entire vacation experience. We were able to entertain some friends who happened to be on the Big Island at the same time and it just makes the trip all the more enjoyable. We did the luau at the Fairmont Orchid, checked out Kailua-Kona, swam with dolphins with the Sunlight On Water outfit (AWESOME!), hit up Kiholo Bay (gnarly), lounged around A-Bay (walk-able from the condo) and ate, drank and were merry. For what you get – this place is very fairly priced. If you can swing it, go now!

You can choice this cond with your confidence.
This condo was very nice! it's very clean and convenience. The room size was good enough. Location was also good. The kings shop and queens shop are very close, which we can buy anything we need. Just one thing, there is no elevator, since our suit cases were very heavy, it was only our concern. Except this point, I recommend this hotel for you.

Waikoloa Fairway Villas
Fabulous Condo!! I would recommend the condo and location to anyone. We loved the clean spacious condo, complete with full kitchen, two bathrooms and laundryroom. We loved our golf course view, the access to the exercise room, pool and nearby beach. The Fairway villas are quiet and beautiful and I would recommend that anyone going to the Kona side of the big island stay at one of these beautiful condos. Only one warning, even though we let them know we were coming after hours, they didn't explain that we had to go to Vista Waikaloa (about a half mile away) to pick up our key so we spent about 40 nervewracking minutes trying to reach someone that would give us a key.

My Big Island
Absolutely love the Big Island. We have always stayed in Kona before, but this time decided that Kohala Coast would be better and it was. Our condo was great, loved the location across from Queen's shoppes and giant grocery store, very convenient for my family. The kitchen in our condo was great had everything. We cooked almost every night of our stay and every breakfast. The condo was very clean and having a washer dryer is key with 2 kids. The only down fall to our condo was the bed in the master was awful super old and very uncomfy, as well the bed linens were very old and less than desirable. We would stay there again because the size and location were perfect for us, but we would request a different unit hopefully with a better bed. I am pretty sure all units are privately owned.

Excellent Location, well appointed apartment
We were assigned an apartment on the 2nd floor. The place had all the possible appliances and amenities one could ask for. We were also given a welcome gift upon arrival. One could tell, that the owner went through that extra step to make all guests feel comfortable. It simply felt "home".

Too Noisy
The hotel itself is nice but too much noise if you are on the 2nd floor from the top floor, we heard everytime the family above moved. They had little kids and it was very noisy. Also the condo we stayed in did not have near the anemities that our friends had in theirs.

ロケーション問題なし。チェックイン場所に注意。
Kings' shopsに隣接し、Queens Marketplaceも徒歩圏であるため、買い物には困りませんでした。部屋には生活に必要な道具がそろっているので(Wi-Fiはもちろん、部屋に洗濯機もある)、好きな食材を買ってきて食事できました。また、敷地内の共用設備としてプールやバーベキューコーナーがあり、自由に使えました。Kings' shopsにはワイコロアエリアを巡回するシャトルバスが停まるので、ヒルトンやマリオットに行くにも便利でした。 空港からのアクセスはホテルのサイトに案内があったシャトルバスサービスを利用しました。ネットで事前予約でき、片道$30程度でした。 注意しなければならないのは、このコンドミニアムは管理会社がいくつかあり、管理会社によってチェックイン窓口が異なること。Kings' Shops内に事務所がある会社と、Vista Waikoloaに事務所がある会社が入っており、案内メールのチェックインの場所と時間を事前に確認しておく必要があります。別手配の同僚と同じホテルだったのですが、チェックイン場所が異なり、ちょっと焦りました。

8月に6泊させてもらいました。 飛行機遅延の関係でチェックインに間に合わず、暗くて辺りが見えないのと英語が不慣れなこともありすごく迷いました。チェックイン、アウトはvista waikoloaに行かねばならずfairway villasとは離れているところ、セーフティボックスが部屋にないところが難点かなと思います。 日本からアルミホイルやラップ、キッチンバサミ、菜ばしなど持って行きましたが、ラップとハサミは置いてありました。洗剤(食器、洗濯)などもそろっており、のんびりと過ごすことができました。 近くのQueen's Market内に23時まで営業しているスーパーがあるので基本そこで買い物はでき良かったです。 BBQエリアがあったり、プールには温泉も付いていて、素敵なところでした。

Aloha, Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear you had an issue with finding our check-in office! Detailed directions are provided with your Expedia documents but we know it can still be a challenge finding the office in the evening since it's very dark and there are not many street lights as well as no street signs on the Waikoloa Beach Resort. Besides your issue with finding our office, we hope you enjoyed your accommodations and the facilities at the Fairway Villas (pool, hot tub & BBQ's) and we look forward to having you visit us again in the future!

チェックイン時、清掃費と登録料のようなものが130ドル程、別途かかる事をいわれた。予約のメイルを見ると確かに下の方に小さく書いてあったが、明らかに気付きにくい書き方でちょっと騙されたようなような、嫌な思いだった。施設は良かっただけにやや残念。

立地条件の良い静かなヴィラ
キングスショップやクイーンズマーケットプレイスにも歩いて5分程で行けるので、立地条件は良いと思います。 私達はゲートに近い『C』というヴィラでしたが、奥の方のヴィラの場合は、車のない宿泊者にはゲートまで歩く距離があります。 こちらのヴィラは、同じ所在地でありながら、『アウトリガー・フェアウェイヴィラ』と『ワイコロア・フェアウェイヴィラ』という2つの名前があります。 『アウトリガー・フェアウェイヴィラ』で予約した場合、隣のキングスショップの2階にあるアウトリガーのオフィスでのチェックインとなりますが、『ワイコロア・フェアウェイヴィラ』で予約した場合はヴィスタ・ワイコロアでのチェックイン手続きとなり、ヴィラと少し距離がありますので、車のない方は要注意です。さらにチェックイン14時~ということになっており、空港到着後に電話をすると、頑として“チェックイン14時~”と言われました。 ただ、電話応対した人とオフィスの人が別人だった為、13時前に到着しても、とても親切に手続きをしてくれました。 また、空港から乗ったロパーツ・ハワイのエアポートシャトルの客が私達1組だったこと、ドライバーがとても親切で、チェックイン後にわざわざヴィラ迄送ってくれたりとラッキーに恵まれました。 気になったのは、エアコンの音がとても大きいことです。 スイッチをオフにしても、すぐにとまらないエアコンでした。
