Rialto Score 9.5+

A Rosewood hotel. Rialto is a Rosewood Elite agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Kona Village has a storied past – one of the celebrity hideaways and legendary mai tais. Once a secluded sanctuary for the stars, the 150-thatched-roof-hale (or house) resort has been sustainably reopened to A-listers and leisurely beach-goers alike, boasting fresh Pacific Rim-to-table cuisine, décor commissioned from native artists, and spa treatments that usher you into a regenerative state of mental, physical, and spiritual harmony. Don’t miss the 3 p.m. coconut cart delivering refreshing drinks poolside.

About Kona Village, a Rosewood Resort

Insider tip

Pull up a seat at Shipwreck Bar & Sushi, the once-sunken sailboat lovingly salvaged from the depths of Kahuwai Bay, now a chic beachside destination for light bites and creatively-named cocktails.

In the hotel’s own words

Set amidst 81 acres along the shores of Kahuwai Bay, pristinely preserved and sustainably renewed, classic, thatched-roof hale live lightly on the sacred land, where hardened lava has graciously parted for vibrant flora and native, bountiful greenery. Emerging from a decade of stillness, this long-awaited new chapter weaves a cultivated tapestry of formative experiences, signaling a revitalizing new era with the same steady pulse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Rosewood Elite always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100-200 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
