There is not a spa so that should be taken out of the name. We paid for three rooms. Same price. All advertised the same but two were bigger with nicer decks. I think transparency was my biggest issue.

We enjoyed our 5 nt stay at the Outrigger. I’ll start with the few cons…
Adult pool doesn’t have enough shade, too exposed
We preferred the bigger pool so we could still see the ocean and had lots of umbrellas.
We tried 3 different drinks at the pool, you couldn’t taste the alcohol in any of them. Just buy a small bottle of rum at the store and top them off yourself.
Pros: The staff are fantastic!!
The rooms are spacious and clean.
The location is great, super close to the manta ray snorkel tour. You just have to walk down the street for 5 minutes, it was the most incredible experience we had in Hawaii. Also, Volcanoes NP is 90 min away and well worth a visit.
Voyager 47 was well worth it for 2 women, this was our breakfast and dinner. Coffee, juice, scrambled eggs (powdered) meat, potatoes, pastries, fruit
Dinner was salad, rice, miso soup, meat, dessert and drinks.
Overall, this is a great spot. We went up to Kailua-Kona one day and it was so crowded with tons of people from the cruise ship that we were happy to come back to our calmer area. Snorkelling at 2-step beach was a highlight and only 20 min south of the hotel.
After our stay, we went up to Waikoloa for a couple nights and really enjoyed the beaches. I recommend doing both areas so you get a little bit of each.

The resort is huge! It is in a nice location and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We arrived late and had to eat in the restaurant and it was pricey. There are activities to do and the 2 pools and slide are really nice.
There was a power outage one night and the staff could have communicated more with the guests-maybe offered something extra as compensation. We had use of the Voyager Lounge and it was really nice for breakfast and pu pus.

They didn't know how to process the Travelzoo discounts. Our room wasn't ready over an hour past check-in time (check in was 3, we arrived after 4 and didn't have a room until nearly 5). They tried to put us in a "ocean view" room with the balcony literally touching the waterslide and close enough for children to be on our balcony. After complaining, we were moved to an ocean view room directly over the kiddie pool. The uncomfortable high top table seating and screaming from dawn until 10 p.m. made the balcony worthless. Rooms were dusty and dirty and smelled of mold (we had to bleach wipe everything when we checked in because there were visible, greasy hand prints on every handle). The food was terrible and overpriced (one morning the breakfast was the wettest egg without being technically raw and some white rice). And when we came down with Covid they locked us in our room for the majority of our trip and provided zero guidance and little support, other than to make us deal solely with security and make us feel like lepers. And it was complete theater because while we weren't outwardly sick and mask, we constantly witnessed sick people coughing, but because they didn't disclose or even test they got to walk about freely. It was a terrible trip.

Nice stay with great TravelZoo voucher. The club 47 deal with breakfast and pupu/drinks in the late afternoon was very good. Great place to watch a sunset too. Rooms were spacious and balcony view good. Disappointed no readily accessible beach to swim in the ocean. Drink prices high; bar menu food prices very high. Service staff very kind and friendly. Needs a little updating and will be better I think when Duke's restaurant opens. Good access to the marina for water adventures like snorkeling trips. That was a plus.

Nice, comfortable hotel, with great staff. Location is a little isolated, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The voyager 47 club rooms are definitely the way to go at this hotel as the breakfast and early evening reception are a great value and often covered our breakfast and dinner for the day.

The resort is in a great location. Staff is amazing. The voyager club add on was well worth it for breakfast and evening appetizers. Rooms are a bit spartan especially in regard to usual bathroom amenities. The hotel grounds on the north side have fallen into disrepair and need to be updated. However, overall a great value.

Hotel was lacking vacation energy. Very few people sitting at bars, participating in activities. Perhaps use music (through speakers) to add to the ambience. Also, when you post events (i.e. slide race) have someone follow through and coordinate. We were sitting at the bar and a couple was asking about how to participate - bartenders didn't know and the slide race never happened.

On the one hand, the people we dealt with were helpful. On the other hand, the reason we had to deal with staff was because our room was not made up by 5:00 PM three of the first four days we were there. Also, hot water was not available in the late afternoons.

Upon checkout the resort wanted to charge more than we agreed to through Travelzoo. A call to Travelzoo clarified the discrepancy. Not sure what the problem was, but glad it was resolved. Make sure to double check the hotel charge before you leave so you are not charged more than you agreed to.

stayed here because it was 55%off so it was "only" $460cad/nite. ludicrous prices. the breakfast and happy hour selections didn't change so a little tiring. their true lounge was under construction so the ambience suffered in the makeshift lounge. we saved $100usd by taking the bus to and from the airport. that was an experience in itself. tours available a 7 min walk down the hill from the resort so that was handy

our "resort" room had a view of the parking lot. grudgingly they gave us a different room. forgot my sandals in the first room and they mysteriously disappeared when I realized this 3 days later.

Seems like the hotel must be in midst of redo/redevelopment with few guests for size of property and limited restaurant/bar options.
The hotel was nice but in a neighborhood with few things to do and the hotel only had 1 restaurant open each for dinner and lunch so need a car to go out for at least some meals if there more than a couple of days. Unfortunately the front desk didn’t have a list of restaurants in town so have to ask front desk to write some down. It is a 10-15 min drive to town. Voyage 47 Club good in concept but breakfast was so-so for continental breakfast and happy hour drinks were not very good.
Beds very soft and if you like a firmer pillow, housekeeping will bring it to you.
Grounds and pool are pretty and ability to see the Manta Rays off the viewing deck was cool.

The whole property was amazing!!! So beautiful!!!! I liked that it wasn’t in the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona but only a short ride away. Thanks to Travelzoo we got a package that included valet, no resort fee and access to Odyssey 47 where we could eat breakfast for free and have afternoon lupus and drinks. The rooms are update so nicely and the staff was wonderful. I was able to wash our clothes on property on the 7th floor. We did the luau and it was pricey but it was well done and the food was great. If you book the Sea Paradise Snorkel to Captain Cook the dock is right around the corner.

Voyager 47 club was not what we were expecting. We visited one in Oahu and it was amazing. This was a run down convention room filled with flies and what could be described as half slop. No variety day to day. I am so glad we didn’t pay extra for this.

There was considerable confusion regarding the Travelzoo deal. The 2 things the hotel did not want to honor were: 1) complimentary access to Voyager 47 Club and 2) the complimentary valet parking. The person at the front desk mentioned "there has been a mix up with travelzoo and they are promising complimentary services that we dont provide". Fortunately I had my print out with me and they reversed the charges on the final bill. I would encourage Travelzoo to clarify this with the hotel AND for anyone who has booked this deal to bring a print out of your voucher with explanation of benefits, as well as looking at your final bill to confirm you were not charged.
