    Meh

    Not the best…not the worst. I tried to upgrade our room several times and was told the hotel was sold out despite online showing many available rooms. Our “ocean view” room was ground level overlooking the water slide. We couldn’t open our blinds the whole time or we would have zero privacy. Hotel room was clean and spacious. Not great noise cancelling and we had to phone one night to complain around 11 pm with kids screaming beside us. Pools were very nice and lots of seating, but they allow people to buy passes for the pool area. Found on weekends lots of local families used the pool/slide and it was very busy and noisy. Did not eat at the restaurant $$$. Pool bar was ok but service is very slow. Would take 30 mins to get your drinks. Definitely needs some exterior upgrades and the one area near manta ray viewing deck was sad sad sad. Fees at the end totaled over $600 usd for parking and resort fees. Was it the worst? No. Will we be back? No.

    Best Engagement Trip Ever!!

    Had the BEST time here. The resort is beautiful, not packed, and had everything we could’ve asked for on our special weekend. My fiancé surprised me with a proposal and when we came back to the pool bar we felt so special! BARTENDER MIKE was the man! We told him we just got engaged and asked if he could do anything and he got his supervisor to give us drink vouchers and he even found us walking the property AFTER he got off his shift just to congratulate us again. And the other bartender, Lana, was so sweet too. 10/10 recommend this place for couples, families, or a friends trip. We will definitely be back in the coming years! Best resort we’ve experienced!

    Awesome stay!

    Outrigger Kona met our needs and exceeded them! We did the club V47 package and the food was great. Clean amenities, very friendly staff. Big pools and fun activities! Would stay here again. Really excellent stay! Enjoyed myself! Try the manta ray snorkel!

    Good experience

    This place is gorgeous and HUGE. The room was a good size and very clean. We loved the huge balcony that had a table with four chairs. The pool was wonderful and had a beautiful waterfall in it. At night they put a light on the ocean so you can see manta rays which was really cool. The food and drinks are expensive, but that is to be expected in Hawaii.

    Recommend

    We had a wonderful experience at the Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa. All of the staff were professional and exceptionally friendly from the people who checked us in, Tessa and staff at the V7 lounge and the parking attendants. A highlight of our Outrigger experience was a cultural tour with the delightful Nani. The grounds, rooms and hotel amenities were beautiful , were well-maintained and met all of our needs. Based on our experience we recommend the Outrigger Kona Resort and Spa!
