We have stayed here two other times and each time the hotel has deteriorated. We keep thinking because of the Prince/Mauna Kea connection they will finally invest and bring this property back to par. The staff was very unhelpful/unfriendly. We booked well in advance, paid full price (no Priceline deal) requested a King bed, told them it was our third... More

We wanted a week away from the city and decided to revisit the Hapuna Beach Prince. We last stayed here when it was first opened 20 years ago. The hotel is a great place to do nothing and enjoy the pool and beach. Hotel - The hotel is very large. The week we were there it was not busy and... More

This hotel/resort was beautiful! Our room met or exceeded our expectation, I know some reviewers had said the furniture was dated but I felt it was nice and kept with the hawaiian theme. The bathroom was large and luxurious. We felt the room was clean and each evening our ice bucket was refilled. The hotel was rather expensive to eat,... More

We stayed here for a few days. We also stayed at a fancy 5-star hotels for a few days, but the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel was actually better! The cleanliness on par with a 5-star hotel, the rooms and layout had more character and the beach was far superior. We booked on priceline, and got lucky! It was a good... More

This was our second time staying at this resort - the first was a few years ago when we tried hotels all over the island and Hapuna Prince was the last one we tried. At the time we wished we had spent the whole trip here, so this time we did! It is an older property, so built almost right... More

The staff at this hotel is generally unfriendly and not concerned about the customer. The lifeguard at the beach who "manages" the lounge chairs is just a plain monster. I had to ask him to leave us alone twice because he was haranguing us about daring to sit down a lounge chair without first asking his permission. He seemed to... More

We scored a great deal on priceline. This resort is just wonderful. The room was pretty. It was much nicer than the room we had at the Sheraton in Kona, but the view from the room wasn't anywhere near as nice. It was an ocean view room (I think that all the rooms are) but there was a tree right... More

We had no idea where to stay on the Big Island, so I looked in some tour books and then on this site. I saw many good reviews, and the cost for booking early (last August) meant we got a really nice deal on the room for our April stay. We opted for an ocean view room and are glad... More

Second time staying here (2/012 and 2/2013). A little local knowledge will go a long way. I would highly recommend a high floor in the main building with a "Full Ocean View". It does not cost that much more than a standard room and the view is one of the best in Hawaii. The property has a great restaurant and... More
