Hotel Review site?

I'm on the Big Island...

I dunno 🙁 I just made reservations to land in Hilo but I think it might be a mistake. I want to go where the beaches are nice and there are a lot of resorts to relax.

Which side do you recommend? (for just my gf and me.)
 
well, from Hilo there are a lot of things to see, including the Volcano
and you can take a really nice drive over to the Waikoloa area where
most of the nicer hotels are.

I heard the Prince is really nice and also the Hilton (got the dolphins there).
 
I'm going to go pick up one of those travel books.. but I'll be sure to PM you for some local info! 😀
 
I was there last September. I stayed at the Royal Kona Resort. Don't think I'd stay there again. Waikoloa is aweome if you can afford it.

All things being equal though, I'd skip the big island and go to Maui. My experience in Kona was bad. The locals seemed to go out of their way to be a-holes. They would drive up and down the streets in front of the restaraunts and lay on their horns all the way up and down the strip. If they wren't leaning on their horns they would blast their music. Just plain rude. I'm never going back.

Maui works for me. Headed back for the 10th time this September. Lahaina, Kaanapali, Keihi... I've stayed at all three and have always had a good experience. Lahaina is my favorite though.
