25 The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel
62-100 Kauna'oa Drive Kohala Coast Hotel |
|
 On the
Big Island of Hawaii, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is upbeat, breezy and
dramatic. Sharing 1,839 acres of oceanfront paradise with the legendary
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel opened in 1994. The
hotel is nestled into the bluffs above the #1-rated Hapuna Beach in a
flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style. All 350 of its guestrooms are
ocean-facing that radiate from an open-air lobby that provides sweeping
views of the Kohala coastline.
A predominant feature of the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel site
is the presence of a series of underground springs. In ancient times, during
seasons of heavy rainfall these springs would bubble to the surface creating
natural artesian fountains. The resultant streams would provide a source of
respite and renewal for
 travelers
along the otherwise dry and barren Kohala Coast. Thus the area was named
"Hapuna" or "Spring of Life" in the Hawaiian language.
Now travelers come to: Take an early morning walk along the
white sands of Hapuna ("Best Beach in America-Conde Nast Traveler"), play a
relaxing 18 holes on a course designed by Arnold Palmer/ Ed Seay, feast
leisurely on world-class cuisine in any one of six restaurant/lounges,
pamper themselves at a state-of-the-art spa and soak in an ocean-side
whirlpool. Reciprocal signing privileges at nearby Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
double a guests' options. |

Rated the "Number one beach in America" by Conde
Nast Traveler, Hapuna Beach is a long stretch of pristine white sand
and every guest room has a view of it. There is a little cove nearby
where the waters are sheltered and clear. On any given day, giant sea
turtles may drop in for a visit. Otherwise, it's the perfect place for
swimmers and snorkelers to explore at their leisure. Water sport
activities include scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and
whale watching. |
|
 In
1997, the U.S. Golf Association named Hapuna "The Course of the Future."
This Arnold Palmer/Ed Seay-designed 18-hole championship course is
nestled into the dramatic natural contours of the land from the
shoreline to about 700 feet above sea level. It is a links-style course
featuring spectacular views of the Kohala Coast and the Pacific, with
snow-capped Mauna Kea volcano as a backdrop. Hapuna Golf Course has been
called the most environmentally-sensitive course in the Western region. |

moon can still be seen hanging over the ocean. Stargazing is one of the most
