Ironman 70.3 Hawaii Weekend

We stayed in this beautiful condo with another couple for the weekend of the Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. It was very spacious, comfortable and great to have a fully-stocked kitchen...a much better (and less expensive) alternative to a hotel. It was also very convenient for race-related activities. We would definitely stay again! We had three athletes with bikes, and for that it would have been great to have access to the garage but this didn't prove to be too much of an inconvenience.

Wonderful, relaxing, quiet holiday rental

We thoroughly enjoyed unit I3 in the Waikoloa Beach Villas. The villa was excellent! The gourmet kitchen was a delight to use; the outdoor bar-b-que/kitchen on the lanai was a treat, the views to the golf course delightful.

The master suite was large with a very comfortable king size bed and lavish bathroom. It was helpful to have a washer and dryer as well, although there was an ample supply of towels, sheets, pillows etc supplied with the flat.

The electronic appliances (WiFi, Plasma TV's, CD player) all performed magnificentally, and blessedly the A/C was highly efficient. And having the Queen Market/King Market within walking distance made for a wonderful place to shop, including a gourmet food market.

All in all a quiet and thoroughly relaxing holiday in fabulous surroundings.

AND the agent, Kelli Horton, that we worked with was truly accommodating, helpful and efficient. We recommend this to anyone.

Wonderful Time!

The property and its location in Waikoloa was perfect. We were in short walking distance to two great shopping centers and a little longer stroll to the beach. As regular visitors to the Big Island, our party of four and infant found the location perfect. We fly in via Hilo, which is about a 1 hour 40 minute drive, but much more scenic and a far nicer airport than Kona.

Waimea, a 30 minute drive up the mountain was enchanting as well. The property location by the pool and the ammenities couldn't be better. Perfect place with Julia providing excellent assistance. We will be back.

Great Vacation!

We have been coming to the Islands for many years, but this was the best trip ever. Wonderful Big Island and the Villas are perfect. We will be back next year only for a longer stay.

Fabulous Stay at Waikoloa Beach Villas!

On Resortica:

We had a fabulous stay, and were so pleased with the level of service from Resortica. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to respond - always with very helpful information and resources! Traveling with toddler twins, and being 7+ months pregnant is not for the faint-hearted, and all the gals at Resortica were extremely patient and understanding about my 100 questions.



On Waikoloa Beach Villas, Unit D-23: It was perfectly equipped for the 5 of us. We brought our nanny, who used the loft as her bedroom, and then we split up the two bedrooms downstairs for the kids and my husband and me. Great kitchen, very nice living area (with a few removals of non-toddler friendly decor), very handy to have baby gates, great outdoor deck with grill and seating. So convenient to the pool and the King's and Queen's Shops.



We absolutely recommend using Resortica, and the Waikoloa Beach Villas!

Our only complaint - the weather was just mediocre - but we can't blame anyone for that!

The Perfect Spot!

A job assignment lead me to the Big Island for 9 months. What I was looking for in accommodations was surpassed at Waikoloa Colony Villas. Close shopping, beaches, and beautiful sun sets are just the tip of the iceberg! It's the perfect place for honeymooners, family or just to get away.

Hawaiian Paradise!

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay on the Big Island. We have been there many times over the years and it's hard to beat! It was nice to stay in a newer unit that was spotless on our arrival! That was a pleasure to find! We would not hesitate to return to this complex!

Great vacation time at Waikoloa Beach Villas A2 with two small children (6months and 2 years)

We will try to stay at the same condo again if we go back to Hawaii. The furniture and amenities are simple but practical and new. Only one standard TV and no game console but who is going to Hawaii for staying inside?

The gated pool (important with small kids) is only 30m - through the grass - away and the BBQ on the lanai allows the children to run around while you prepare the food. Only negative is that with open windows you hear the by-pass road in the morning which is 50m away behind bushes/small grass wall.


Resortica had everything ready when we arrived, checked once whether everything was fine and helped us to find a wonderful doctor when we need one for our daughter - sometimes they were hard to reach but called back fast, we really appreciated their very efficient way.

Rental car is definitely recommended.

Best condo we've ever stayed in...

We stayed here in March of 09. The accommodations were perfect for our larger group. We had 4 kids aged 2 through 8 and also grandparents along to help out. The kitchen chairs are basically tall stools so kept a close eye on our 2 y.o. when he sat on them. The arcade style game system in the loft was the biggest hit with the kids. They never even touched the PS3 and PS2 game consoles during our weeklong stay.

The beach gear in the garage was very handy. We made use of the beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, ice chest and snorkeling gear. They also have a couple mountain bikes available but we didn't use them during our trip.

The beds were very comfy and the decor was in very good taste. The place was very roomy and we never felt crowded at all. The computer and printer also came in handy to check on e-mails and print out boarding passes.


Julia and Kelli from Resortica Hawaii were a great help. The common grill was out of propane and since the complex were temporarily without any managers, she arranged for someone to deliver a propane tank to us so we could BBQ that evening.


The location of the unit is right across the street from both the Kings shops and the Queen's Marketplace. The gourmet store and food court in the Queen's marketplace were very convenient to walk to. If you're in the mood for noodles, I recommend the Chinese food place in the food court over the Noodle House. The shaved ice from the deli was also a big hit with the kids and adults alike. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect R&R

Beautiful spacious condo ... a lovely home away from home ... the morning sunlight welcomed making breakfast in the large kitchen, while the afternoon sun was perfect for suntanning on the patio! Our view of the golfcourse was restful and the area very quiet. Nice to have a garage also. The location is very convenient to shopping, beaches, restaurants and sightseeing. Really appreciated Kim and Julia accommodating all our questions and requests -- they definitely wanted our stay to be the best-ever! Much Aloha and Mahalo!

Better than we expected!

The property has a great location with a beautiful oceanfront site. The furnishings are all first class. The home has everything you need. The master bedroom and bath are very nice and spacious. The bed very comfortable with flat screen t.v.'s in all the rooms. We liked the location with just a short walk to the Hilton for restaurants, shops etc. The pool and restaurant at Hali i Kai are very nice. We hope to go back again next year and I would recommend staying here. It was better than I expected and loved the views and watching the whales. The kitchen is fully equipped with all high-end appliances and just gorgeous. Thank you for a great experience.
