We visited the Hapuna Beach Prince while on the island, and although the beach itself was lovely, we felt that the hotel itself was clearly inferior to the Orchid.
All in all we're extremely pleased we chose the Orchid and would gladly return.
Glad to hear you had a really nice stay.. Backing on the course is a pretty nice side of the hotel..
I thought that Hapuna needed some renos.. We considered doing a suite up at Hapuna, but the Orchid being a former Ritz is where its at in terms of hotel. We considered doing a suite at Prince Hotels in HNL this year, but opted for Trump Waikiki one bedroom with a full kitchen.
The nice thing with Kohala Coast, you're guaranteed dry with only 8 inches of rain there a year.
