With 180-Degree Ocean Views, Hawaii’s Grand Naniloa Hotel Is Quite The Retreat

From luxury beachfront resorts, heavenly hotels, and enchanting inns to charming bed and breakfasts, rustic cabins, and vacation rentals, the Hawaiian Islands are home to more accommodations than we could ever hope to count. With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to choose where you want to stay. But if you’re looking to stay on Hawaii Island’s eastern coast, we know just the place: the Grand Naniloa Hotel.

Featuring a newly-remodeled contemporary lobby and updated room finishes accompanied by stunning, 180-degree panoramic views of Hilo Bay and Mauna Kea, the Grand Naniloa is perhaps Hilo’s most magnificent waterfront resort.

With all the comforts of home and plenty of Aloha Spirit, you’ll feel relaxed as soon as you step foot on this beautiful property.

Here at the “Home of the Hula,” you can embrace the Hawaiian culture in more ways than one. Watch dancers of Hula Halau Ke 'Olu Makani 'O Mauna Loa practice each Monday evening as they practice on the hotel grounds.

Spanning three towers, the Grand Naniloa is home to 379 guest rooms — all furnished with Hilton Suite Dreams beds, modern finishes, signature artwork by Kim Taylor Reece, and either expansive floor to ceiling windows or oceanview balconies.

The views as seen from their oceanview and oceanfront rooms are unparalleled.

Resort amenities include a restaurant buffet, lobby bar, bayside wedding gazebo, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an oceanfront pool surrounded by beach chairs, special local entertainment in the hotel’s exclusive concert hall, and complimentary golf on Hilo’s only 9-hole course and driving range.

No stay at the Grand Naniloa is complete without a meal at Hula Hulas, a creative-casual restaurant and bar that offers not only delicious island fare but expansive views of the reef-lined bay. The farm to fork features seafood caught daily, island produce, and products from local ranches.

Did we forget to mention the stellar location? The Grand Naniloa is a convenient location for exploring the Big Island — from its lush waterfalls to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Oh, and the Grand Naniloa Hotel is also one of the area’s most affordable resorts, with standard room rates starting at $124 per night plus a $30 daily resort fee. If you’re looking to embark on a Big Island adventure unlike any other, consider a stay at the Grand Naniloa.
