The Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa

Big Island, Hawaii

Star rating

The hotel

Spanning 22-acres of oceanfront, adjacent to Keauhou Bay, this truly special resort offers a perfect location for an authentic Hawaiian experience. Most of the resort overlooks the ocean and feature beautiful colours and prints created by renowned Hawaii designer, Sig Zane. Another highlight is the fantasy pool, set on several different levels and dramatically nestled along the ocean’s lava cliffs — it really is unequalled in all of Hawaii, something we don’t say lightly! Kids will love the 200-foot winding waterslide at the oceanfront lagoon pool.

The voyager 47 club lounge staff were very welcoming to our family especially Tessa and Sharlaine on our first evening at the resort and our family knew right away that this will be a great vacation for us. The valet parking people are also very friendly and accommodating.

To all the great staff at the Voyager Club, especially Puamaile, Sharlaine,Thelma and Fred, thank you for the gracious Hawaiian hospitality, and good food. You made my vacation memorable. I loved the views from the top floor of the hotel. It was terrific to have breakfast at the Voyager Club and appetizers, soups, and snacks in the evening there.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff. Grace Lovig guided us and was there every step of the way to make the Wedding truly the Best! The food was perfect and the cake was delicious and beautiful. Experience and expertise played a roll in that. Thank you Grace and staff !

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. We loved how the property is tucked away, and you can drive into town easily. We had a partial ocean view, which was fine since we were hardly there. The only bar and grill available was open only for nightcaps. We enjoyed the pool area, manta ray viewing, and the overall property. It seems like the manta ray viewing area was there before but needs some remodeling. One suggestion would be to improve the water pressure and temperature. The hot water in the shower and sink was inconsistent. Mahalo nui iāʻoe no ka manawaōpio Hawaiʻi.🌺🫶🏽 Read less
