Outrigger Fairway Villas

Family of 4, we spent a week in unit A-​2 in early June. Very nice unit with 2 bedrooms and a large, spacious living room and kitchen. Ground floor with a beautiful view of the golf course from our patio. The complex has a really nice pool and hot tub, fitness center, and even a bunch of gas bbqs for general use. It was very quiet and walking distance to Kings Shops and the Queens Marketplace. The only negative I would say is that it’s a 25 minute drive North of Kona and we found we were driving back and forth through Kona almost everyday. If you’re a golfer and/​or you just want to spend some quiet time at the beaches or shopping then this place would be ideal. However, if you plan to do alot of activities then you might want to consider staying closer to Kona.

Stayed here for 7 nights this past November and loved every minute of it! Very convenient, clean and quiet. Gorgeous golf course views! We stayed on the 2^nd floor and I don’t think anyone stayed above us or if they did we did not hear anyone! Can’t wait to stay there again!

A beautiful property managed by the Outrigger group. We’ve stayed at other Outrigger hotels on the other islands and have always been impressed with their level of service. These condos are top notch if you have a group staying on Hawai’i. It is a short 20 minute drive north of the Kona airport in the Waikoloa Beach Resort, smack dab next to a golf course and across the lake from the upscale King’s Shops. In the King’s Shops, on the 2^nd floor above Tiffany’s is the office where you check-​in to get your keys & info from 9am-​7pm. If you’re coming in late, they can make special arrangements, but you need the pass code to get in the automatic gate. You have your own assigned parking space next to your unit and even an elevator in each group of units if you’re on an upper floor. We had a ground floor 2BR/​2BA unit that was perfect for our family of 4.
I definitely felt like I was at home with all the amenities at my fingertips. WiFi for the laptop and smartphone? Vroomm, lightning fast. Hungry? Run to the kitchen to grab some snacks. Thirsty? Grab a beer or soda from the fridge. Don’t have any snacks or beer? Make a beer run over to the market down the street. Restless? Work it out at the fitness center and take a dip in the pool. Bored? Pop a movie into the DVD player. Feeling dirty? Pop a movie… uh no… do some laundry. They even provide detergent.
Grab the provided beach towels and drive over to the beach on Anaeho’omalu Bay to enjoy some sun & surf. The owners of our unit even supplied beach stuff, like boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. My only complaint is that the TV’s were a little small, 32″ LCD in the living room and 13″ CRT in the bedrooms. That might not be the norm in all the units, but hopefully they’ll upgrade them in the future. For the price of a hotel room, why would I want to stay anywhere else?

We rented two condos to house our group of 11 over a four night stay. I had booked our reservations on-​line, a simple process, months beforehand at a more than fair price. I did not expect to get so much for our money!
The units appear near new, are spacious and each was well-​furnished. They were both impeccably clean from top to bottom, had lots of towels (both bath and beach) and a washing machine/​dryer. There were TV’s in every room and each unit had wi-​fi, thank goodness! Central air-​conditioning kept the units cool, important because it gets pretty blazing hot on this side of the island and my very pregnant sister couldn’t stand being overheated. Our 3-​bedroom unit was two stories and had a patio that was literally on the golf course. We laid on the grass at night looking up at the stars — awesome.
Outside our unit was really nice, too. The swimming pool was beautiful — infinity style with waterfalls overlooking one of the golf courses — and there were BBQ’s available for use. The workout «room» was in a «Hawaiian» style structure, with sliding lanai doors that were completely open.
This is really the best of both worlds — a condominium that is privately owned but managed by a corporation that knows what they’re doing. My only complaint — which for me results in a 4.5 star rating — is the sheets were awful. Awful, awful, awful. Made of paper, so rough and stiff, I almost went to buy my own. But I did not request different sheets — suppose I could have — so I didn’t give them the opportunity to fix this for us. Therefore, rounding up to 5 stars (instead of down to 4) for Outrigger Fairway Villas. We will definitely stay here again and absolutely recommend it.

This place is amazing. We just left… stayed 6÷1−6÷9. We didn’t get there until after 7pm, so they left our key on a lock pad at our unit. Which works out great for us since its was simple and fast. We just had to check in the next day before we head to the beaches.
We had the 2bd/​2bt. Kitchen with all the supplies, washer/​dryer with detergent. Towels for the beach, towels for the bathroom. Body boards for the kids to enjoy at the beach. The master bath has a tub and a stand up shower, double sink and private toilet!
The pool was nice and they have BBQ grilles for your use as well.
I would def stay here again if we come back.
We kept the fans on at night since once the sun comes up at 530, its already hot! There is AC when the fan is not working hard enough.

We stayed at the Fairway Villas 9÷16−9÷20. Being in the Travel/​Hospitality industry, it takes a lot to impress me. I was impressed.
The condo was beautifully appointed with a full kitchen, granite counter tops, all the necessary appliances. The master bath has two full sinks in the vanity, a tub and shower. The walk in closet has some beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Our lanai backed the 9^th hole of the golf course. We enjoyed watching the golfers and a few mongoose run along the fairway.
This is a great place for families. You can save a lot of money on breakfasts and lunches by doing a little shopping at the grocery store in the Queens’ Shops.
The Kings’ and Queens’ Shops are close walking distance and really nice for a nighttime stroll. There are lighted pathways to the King; Shops. We had a spectacular yummy dinner at Roy’s one night.
Ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs are carved in the lava flows on the right side of the entrance.
We flew into Hilo instead of Kona. Without traffic it is about a 1.5−1.75 hour drive to Waikoloa. If you are arriving into Waikiola in the evening, be sure to call ahead and make sure you get entrance instructions. Rexene, with the Outrigger office staff, was very friendly and e-​mailed instructions while we were in route from Hilo. If you don’t bring your clubs, check with the office. They had free rentals of Callaway clubs.
The beach is across the street — ¼−½ mile walk or short drive. There are some rocks on the bottom, so you might want to go out in the water with some reef shoes. Right by the beach is a great restaurant called the Lava Lava Beach Club. Despite the «club» name it is open to the public. Great selection and usually some live entertainment.

The condo we stayed in was absolutely amazing. Beautiful town home! Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and great layout. Condo was furnished nicely. Each of our 3 bedrooms had their own full bathroom. The master bedroom had a walk in closet and the master bath had a big tub and a shower. Having a washer and dryer was also useful. Condo was fully air conditioned. We had a minor issue with our air conditioning which was resolved over the phone, but the complex sent over a maintenance man just for good measure. The owners of the condo we stayed in provided a boogie board, a pair of water shoes, a noodle for the pool, chairs, an ice cooler, and a life vest for a child.
Our condo backed up to the golf course. We enjoyed our view and had an occasional meal on the patio.
We would have liked to have had daily maid service and the ability to get fresh beach towels daily. Note that each bathroom only provided one small bottle of shampoo and no conditioner.
Tip — if you stay here, drive behind the Marriott to see a great sunset! Also, get your groceries at the KTA Superstore about 6 miles away at Waikoloa Village as opposed to the ridiculously overpriced Island Gourmet!
Overall, great place to stay. I would highly recommend.

Agree with other reviews, the condo was amazing, so was the view from the lanai. Highly recommended. Includes free internet access and long distance calls anywhere in North America. Free WiFi by the pool too!

Beautiful!
Instead of staying at the hotels down the street (like the Hilton), we decided to stay at a condo in Waikoloa and it was a great decision.
Checking in and getting the keys is kind of complicated. It’s on the second floor, right above Rolex in King’s. Outrigger owns a few buildings in the complex, while the rest of the buildings are owned by other private owners. Thus, this gated community is only accessible by a keycode and isn’t like a typical Outrigger hotel.
Our condo (2 bedroom) was on the third floor and faced the lake — beautiful! It was very spacious, modern, and there was the smell of new paint. The lanai (balcony) had a table and we had dinner there often (getting groceries from Island Gourmet). There’s free WiFi and our condo had beach chairs and one set of snorkeling gear.
There’s also a beautiful infinity pool, a jacuzzi, and plentiful BBQ pits for people to use. I will be back!

This condo far exceeded my expectations!
My husband and I had previously stayed in Waikoloa at the Marriott, and had such a great time in the area, that we booked our next vacataion back here. Except this time we decided to rent a condo at the Fairway villas through the outrigger reservations group. As I understand it, they manage a number of high end condos in this community.
We were told to check in at the King Shops, luckily we were familiar with the shopping center and quickly found the outrigger office on the second floor in the center of the shops. This may be a little tricky to find for people that are new to the area.
We picked up our keys, parking pass and gate code and drove to our condo. We rented a 3 bed/​3bath unit. We rented unit I1, at the end of the condo community, overlooking the golf course, across from the king shops, with distant ocean views.
The condo was very posh. Stylish furniture in a «Tommy Bahama» theme, granite counter tops, cherry wood cabinets, granite bath counters, clean and new. It has a master bedroom with king size bed with attached master bath, upstairs bedroom with 2 twins with attached bath, a downstairs bedroom with queen bed and bathroom right outside the door, and a loft with a pullout sofa. Its a perfect rental for a family or several couples.
The included amenities were great: fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, pot holders, cutting boards, Tupperware, you name it they had it. I can’t tell you how nice it was to be able to use the kitchen. I felt strongly that I didn’t want to spend my vacation cooking, and I didn’t, but we save a lot of $$$$$ by having breakfast and lunches at the condo. When you stay at the hotel you are stuck, the hotels are very expensive and provide slightly above average food and service. We don’t have kids, but I can only imagine how much you could save on food alone by staying at a condo.
Even though we could have probably gotten away with shopping at the gourmet market (with gourmet prices to match) in the queens shops across the street from the condos, we opted to stock up the kitchen at Costco, a short drive into Kona (just past airport on left side — Hina Lani street) Our shopping strategy was to buy the breakfast and lunch essentials. Sandwich ingredients, chips/​gronola bars, pasta salad, salad ingredients, cereal, fruit, milk, eggs, cheese, etc. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed eating breakfast on the «lanai» ever morning and feeding the colorful tropical birds, and having a glass of wine at sunset watching the sun set over the palm trees and gold course.
The condo had free internet access (wifi) great family room with a collection of dvds. Two large TVs (over 50″), cable tv with movie channels, 6 person dinining set, outdoor dining set, lounge chairs, washer/​dryer, dishwasher, oven, range, microwave, fridge… all the comforts of home. It also had a guest book, where guest could leave their comments; it was fun to read about all the fun things to do and see on the island.
We will definitely be back and stay at the this unit again. It was well worth the money.

Wow! This place is beautiful! We are staying in a 3 bedroom condo that is located on the end of a unit so we lucked out on the privacy factor. Upon arrival, we were a bit confused as to how to check in but we found out that the office is actually located in the King’s Shops, a nearby shopping center. There is a gate code you need to get in to the condos and a parking pass to be shown at all times. When we arrived at our condo, we were in awe. We didn’t expect such a nice place! I want to live here!
Our particular condo has 2-​stories, 3 bdrms, 3 baths. The kitchen has nice upgrades, including cherry colored cabinets and speckled marble counters. The furniture is stylish and coordinated– a vintage island theme. There is central air too. The outside patio is nice and overlooks the golf course. There is also a washer and dryer. The parking spot is pretty much at our front door. Free internet is included here as well. There is a pool and fitness center on the property that close at 10pm. It is pretty quiet around here – perhaps more of a family or older crowd.
Nearby there are 2 shopping centers, Queen’s Market Place and King’s Shops. Queen’s Market Place and has more moderately priced shops where as King’s Shops seems to have more high end shops. Some of shops here include Tiffany’s, Pac Sun, Roxy, Ginger. A couple of the restaurants here are Roy’s, Macaroni Grill. There is Starbuck’s and a cute market in Queen’s Market Place that has some groceries (produce, meat and seafood deli, frozen foods) and some gourmet food items as well as some souvenirs.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who is staying a while, has a family or is on a trip with friends. Each condo is individually owned. They have a journal for guests to sign, which is neat to read and find out who has been here before you, what they did while here, words of advice, and of course where they are from. I’m not sure the price of this condo because we are here on business and were blessed to be hosted, but I bet it’s on the expensive side. If you are here for a week, want a place that is more like a home and nice, this is the place!
