I stayed at the Naniloa Volcanoes Resort for five nights this March and found the Resort to overall be a very positive experience. The newly renovated ocean front room provided front and center view of the ocean through swaying palm trees resulting in a tropical feel that hard to beat. The room?s natural wood touches, beautiful ceramic tile bathroom, 32 inch flat screen TV and original artwork was just what I needed after spending the day viewing the spectacular on-going volcanic eruption. I look forward to returning to the resort next year. The only negative comment would be that the hotel needs to quickly re-open a full service restaurant.
Noisy! Noisy! Noisy!

We stayed here two years ago and it was horrible! Couldn't get into a different hotel so thought we'd give it a second chance as we were visiting friends and would only sleep here. Got a renovated room which was so much better than before and it was kept very clean, which was nice. BUT the noise on the tiled hallways was terrible!! It does have a beautiful view of Hilo Bay and is very close to everytyhing. No frills so don't expect a lot.
Newly Renovated

Although, this hotel was newly rennovated, they clearly didn't think things through for the traveler. I stayed at another hotel near by for a week and would definitely stay at that hotel before I would stay at this hotel again. I was looking forward to staying here because of the previous reviews saying that the renovations were great, well first impressions yes, BUT it's not very comfortable nor does it have everything in the room that you need. Not to mention tile floors throughout even in the hallway which makes for a lot of noise!
The thing that I didn't like at all, is there isn't a single vending machine in the hotel and you have to go next door to buy drinks. The other thing is I tried to call the front desk numerous times and no one answered, not even when you hit zero to get an operator!! I would understand if it was in the middle of the night, but it was like early evening!! The hotel is obviously in DESPERATE need of renovation, because you can tell how absolutely awful it was before!! Even with the new renovation this probably would be the last hotel I would choose to stay at again.
Great Rooms. Lazy Maids.

I loved the newly renovated room we received, The maids did such a terrible job that it wont take long before this hotel is trashed.. Try moving the beds and clean out the dust bunnies. My dust bunnies were 3 inches thick. Would not change the sheets until we asked. We stayed 7 days.
Great resort potential, under renovation

We stayed one night in this hotel after a week on the Kona side, to explore the Hilo area.
Turned out to be a great location with wonderful views of Hilo bay from the rooms and a specatacular view from the lobby. We were checked in to an unrenovated room initially. it was so nasty that we reeled in shock. But the front desk guy was very polite and accommodated us in one of their newly renovated rooms. It was clean, minimalist in decor and very comfortable. This property has great grounds and clearly was wonderful in its heyday but it has been allowed to decline beyond reason. Once the entire propery is renovated , this will be easily be one of the best hotels in Hilo. Would definitely stay here again on the renovated side! We did not eat here.
