"VI Resorts is "top drawer service & quality". I will ALWAYS recommend these guys first. Having been a local to the island, and having stayed at almost every hotel on the island since I was a kid growing up.... you CANNOT BEAT the value and quality of staying here at Sea Village. The only "complaint" is figuring out where and how to check in. ONCE you got that figured out, the stay is a dream."

Castle Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (665)
"Hali’i Kai a quiet resort tucked into the Waikolo area. Its townhomes stretch from oceanfront, back to golf views. Watch for whales from its beautiful, family-friendly pool. Food and drink options, as well as a small gym are also located there. Our units furnishings were somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable. A beach cooler, sand toys, and boogie boards were available for our use. If you’re looking for a smaller, more private resort, I’d definitely recommend Hali’i Kai"
