"We stayed 6 nights at this property. With a kitchen and laundry machine, it was like a home away from home. The kitchen cabinets and countertops were old and due for replacement, which I believe was planned for this year. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay as it was conveniently located between the beaches that we visited in north and south Kohala. Staff were super friendly. Towel exchange service was definitely a plus. "
"The Westin is right on probably the best beach on the island. Both pools are large with the family pool being great for lap swimming or exercising. We very much enjoyed the resort and spent most of our one week vacation on the property relaxing. "
"Clean and private cabin within earshot of waterfall and a million coqui frogs. Friendly and helpful staff provided all we needed for a relaxing stay. The only negative we experienced was the poor WiFi, which we needed for trip planning and checkout."
Step back in time at this historic cattle ranch and magnificent homestead in Waimea, where Hawai’i’s first cowboys worked the land and a family left a legacy.
