Castle Hali'i Kai At Waikoloa, Waikoloa - Oceanfront Resort Villas

Castle Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa Resort welcomes you to discover the beauty and bliss of the Big Island's sunny Kohala Coast. Set within the world-famous Waikoloa Resort, this oceanfront property offers spacious, thoughtfully designed vacation villas and town homes, striking a perfect balance between privacy and open living spaces for families and friends. It's a locale that promises an endless summer vibe where white sand and black lava rock merge among tide pools shaded by swaying palms.

Location

Situated within the prestigious Waikoloa Resort, Castle Hali'i Kai commands a prime oceanfront setting, approximately 35 km from Kona International Airport. Its location on the Kohala Coast offers easy access to the island's premier beaches, hikes, golf courses, shops, and restaurants. Landmarks such as Genesis Gallery, Queens Marketplace, and Kings' Shops are within a 1 km radius, with Waiulua Bay and Honokaope Bay also nearby, providing a gateway to the island's natural wonders and amenities.

Style and Character

The resort's aesthetic is defined by its dramatic setting, framed by manicured green lawns, the expansive blue Pacific Ocean, and striking black lava rock formations. The architecture prioritizes spacious comfort and inviting privacy, with units thoughtfully designed to maximize both. While specific interior design details are not extensively detailed, the emphasis is on creating a relaxing, sun-drenched atmosphere that complements the natural Hawaiian landscape.

Service and Facilities

Castle Hali'i Kai provides a comprehensive suite of hotel-style amenities designed for convenience and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a 20-meter heated outdoor swimming pool, an all-weather floodlit tennis court, and WiFi access. Additional services include valet parking, babysitting services, a gym with personal trainers, a spa, conference facilities, 24-hour room service, business services, and laundry/dry cleaning. For those seeking to prepare their own meals, barbecue grills are available, perfect for enjoying fresh island seafood and produce.

Rooms

The resort offers spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom luxury villas and town homes. Each villa features a fully equipped kitchen with cooking and eating utensils for six, a furnished private lanai for enjoying the views, a washer/dryer, ceiling fans, cable TV, and free WiFi. Specific units offer ocean views, while others overlook the Waikoloa Beach Golf Course. The accommodation layout is designed to provide a comfortable mix of privacy and open living spaces, with units featuring air conditioning, a sitting area, and a terrace or patio.

Food and Drink

While Castle Hali'i Kai itself does not feature onsite restaurants, its location within the Waikoloa Resort provides access to numerous dining options. Guests can utilize the barbecue grills for an informal island feast or explore the culinary scene at nearby Queens Marketplace and Kings' Shops, which offer a variety of eateries. For a more curated experience, dining at one of Poipu's stellar restaurants, featuring Pacific Rim cuisine from renowned chefs like Peter Merriman and Roy Yamaguchi, offers a distinct culinary adventure, though this is located on a different island and likely refers to general Hawaiian dining experiences.

Value for Money

Castle Hali'i Kai positions itself as offering considerable value through its spacious condominium-style accommodations, which include full kitchens and private lanais. This allows guests to save on dining expenses by preparing some meals on-site. The comprehensive resort amenities, combined with the prime oceanfront location and access to Waikoloa Resort's attractions, make it an attractive option for those seeking a comfortable and convenient Hawaiian getaway without the typical hotel price tag for extensive space.

Accessibility

Specific details regarding accessibility for guests with disabilities are not provided. However, the resort offers a range of amenities that cater to comfort, and further inquiry directly with the property would be necessary to confirm specific accessibility features.

Family-Friendly

The thoughtfully designed two- and three-bedroom vacation villas and town homes at Castle Hali'i Kai are ideally suited for families and friends, offering both privacy and communal living spaces. The availability of babysitting services, along with the resort's swimming pool and proximity to various recreational activities, makes it a suitable choice for travelers with children. The inclusion of full kitchens further enhances the convenience for families.

“What stands out is the immaculate landscaping and the unique sandy-bottom hot tub. It's clearly geared toward families, with spacious villas offering the ease of self-catering, and I appreciate the ocean views. The on-site dining adds convenience without sacrificing local flavor.”
