We had a great time in Waikoloa, and our condo was wonderful. It wasn't the cleanest, and maid service was slow, but we didn't care. The hot tub and pool were great. The rec director was pushy. The people we met were ok to talk to, but some were snobs. They were from LA. We met some friendly people from Chicago by the pool. But not too many Canadians here either, eh. We were told in reviews we read not to rent units E-33, E-3, and J-2 because they had bad snells and dirt, so we didn't. But no one we met complained about their units so we can't be sure. Our place turned out fine. The grass cutting guys start at 4:00am and the lawn mowers are very noisy when they go near the unit. We walked all over the area and found that everything we needed to buy was no more than 5 min. away. It was nice, and the beach was perfect. We honestly would come back in spite of a few trivial negatives. Welland,Ont.
It exceded our expectations!!

we just absolutely loved our place. Our unit was spacious and comfortable and private. We went into the hot tub every night and cooked steaks on the outdoor grills almost daily. It was a pleasure to stay there and we plan to return. The proximity to the beach and shopping is great. We recommend it. Room service is a little sloppy but its no big deal. The units are there to enjoy.
Excellent Accomodations for a Group or Family

My friends and I traveled to Kona during mid-May and stayed at the Outrigger Fairway Villas. We chose a three bedroom condo (Unit A-4) and had no issues at all. The unit was very well decorated and closely matched the pictures displayed on the website. One of the nice aspects was that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking equipment for use. This was great a benefit since we could prepare meals and avoid eating out every meal. (Food and restaurant prices are somehat expensive on the island.)
The grounds of the property are well maintained. The property is located next to the golf course and a petroglyph field. This created a nice contrast in scenary. There are nice walking trails throughtout the complex and to the local shopping center. The shopping center features a general store along with several "high-end" clothing, jewelry stores and restaurants. The Queens Marketplace is also within walking distance and features more stores and a somewhat disappointing food court.
The property is located within the Waikoloa resort which features several other major complexes and hotels within walking distance. I highly recommend visiting the Hilton Waikoloa Village to see the facility. The sunsets are well worth it as well as the on-site boat tour. There is no charge to ride either the boats or tram that travel throughout the complex.
Overall, our group had no issues or regrets in choosing the Outrigger Fairway Villas. It is was one of the nicest "timeshare/condo" style properties that I have ever visited.
Carpet is dirty

Room K-3 carpet needs to be replaced or at least shampoo. Staff come to the unit everyday just to exchange the towels, but not cleaning. Furnitures and decors are out of date. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am, but goft cart and mowing lawn are running at 5 AM. Don't loose the room key or you will get charged for $100/each. Pool towel are not replenished during the stay and a charge will apply if not returned to your room.
Two upscales shopping malls within walking distance, very expensive dining.
Waikola beach is nearby, with snorkel gear rentals, great for kids.
Wouldn't come back to this hotel.
perfect getaway
