Our spring break trip to Kona Village Rosewood was a trip of a lifetime! From the absolutely beautiful setting, wonderful culture, delicious food, and incredible staff who made us feel like family — I’m spoiled for life! It was my family’s first trip to Hawaii (husband, 8yo, 6yo, and me) and coming all the way from NYC, we figured it might be our last. Now we are all hooked and can’t wait to go back. We arrived on a Saturday evening after a long day of traveling and were greeted with smiles, warmth, and beautiful leis. I thought often during the week about what we were told that night — “make sure to do everything!” Our room was absolutely beautiful with welcome food and drinks, gorgeous and respectful architecture — both modern but also homey — beautiful artwork, comfortable furniture, an outdoor shower, and a large outdoor deck looking over the lagoon. Even if we never left our room it would have been an amazing trip! 🤣 I got up early each morning to workout. The gym has all the equipment you could want and the cardio machines are outside so you feel a nice morning breeze and can stare out at the mountains while you sweat! Our first breakfast (and every breakfast!) was spectacular. I tried all of the specials and not a single one disappointed! Food overall was delicious — fresh poke bowls, yummy steaks, island favorites like “loco moco”, amazing sushi, over the top desserts (best pineapple cake in my life!) and top notch basics for the kids (pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, etc). The cocktails are also quite special and the bartenders (Shane and Shane!) can tell you all about them. Unlike many hotels (even 5 star hotels!), they run a full fresh fruit program with no batched syrups and nothing from concentrate. It was nice to finally have a real mai tai🍹 The resort is so beautiful that you can have a blast doing nothing but just enjoying all the different places to lounge (multiple beaches, pools, the lagoon, a bajillion books and crannies to get lost in with others or by yourself) OR you can be super active and canoe, sail, paddle board, hike, snorkel, dive, play games, etc. Our kids loved the keiki (kids) club and enjoyed the team there who were super creative and kept the kids very active while also taking time to teach them a ton about Hawaiian culture and the local area. I could go on and on but the best thing about the entire experience was getting to spend time with the team there. From the leadership (MariaJose and Daniel) to the F&B team led by Daniel to Matea and Manita and Taylor and Shane and Shane and all the other wonderful folks who took care of us and made us feel at home by sharing their home and culture — we couldn’t be more grateful. We just can’t wait to go back. We were already Rosewood fans but not we are super-crazy-can’t-stop-thinking-about-it fans for life!!!
