5/5 — Westin Hapuna Beach Resort (Big Island, Hawai‘i)
JonathanMurray20 (Jonesboro, Arkansas) on Dec 04, 2025
The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort is easily one of the best stays on the Big Island—if not the best overall beach experience you can have here. From the moment you arrive, everything about this property feels effortless, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. Arrival & Check-In Access is incredibly easy. The drive in from KOA is smooth and simple, and the resort entrance makes a great first impression. You walk into an open-air check-in area with an absolutely breathtaking view—one of those “stop talking and just stare for a second” moments. Arrive during daylight if you can so you get the full impact of that first view over Hapuna Beach. Check-in itself was fast, organized, and friendly. Even though the resort is older, it never feels dated—you get the classic luxury bones, but everything is updated, refreshed, and taken care of. It has history without feeling stuck in time. Resort Layout & Amenities What makes this place special is how well everything is designed around the beach and the pools. You’ve got: • Three pools — an adults-only pool, a unique koi pond pool, and a dedicated kids’ pool with a hot tub • Direct, easy access to the golf course — you literally step outside the resort and you’re there • A beach that’s unreal — Hapuna Beach may be man-made, but it is genuinely stunning. White sand, clear water, wide shoreline—it’s probably the nicest beach on the Big Island, and that’s saying something. Dining & Restaurants There are several food options spread throughout the property, ranging from casual to upscale. You’re never stuck with just one restaurant. Whether you want a full meal overlooking the ocean or a quick bite by the pool, it’s easy to find something good. Prices aren’t cheap (you’re in Hawai‘i), but it’s not Hilton Waikoloa-level expensive—just normal “nice resort” pricing. Overall Experience The Westin Hapuna has the perfect balance of luxury, location, and simplicity. Everything is clean, maintained, and feels intentionally designed around the ocean. The age of the property actually works in its favor—it feels classic and well built without being dated. If you want a true Big Island beach resort with views the moment you step out of the car, great pools, golf next door, and a beach that looks like a postcard, this is absolutely the place. I’d go back without hesitation.
Incredible Resort That Makes For A Perfect Trip!

This resort was fabulous and made of visit to the island absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were treated amazingly! Amber at the front desk was fantastic and made us feel so at home! The views, scenery, and amenities were perfect and you always felt like you were in a little piece of paradise! Our rooms were incredibly clean and very spacious! All the staff were so kind, constantly greeting you, and making sure you had everything you needed! This was the best stay I've ever had and I would definitely recommend to others, but I would also love to go back myself!
