Kings’ Shops

Wonderful little mall with many local retailers and some high end shopping. Something for everyone in the boutiques. It’s nice to be able to stroll around on a Wednesday to get goods from the Farmers Market! Stop by Kohala Coast Properties and you can get information to stay in a vacation rental on your next trip! No hotels anymore!

Not a bad pit stop but if you are passing by, but don’t go out of your way to visit unless you are looking for high end merchandise during your visit.
4 stars for over all conditon, ease of access and parking. There’s a general whalers store for your basic needs and a very small macys.

Unique shopping experience in a place you wouldn’t think has high end shops on the Big Island.
Worth a mingle if you like to shop and find yourself on the Big Island.

KINGS’ SHOPs: Located in the Waikoloa Beach Resort on the north side of Queens’ Market Place.
We went to Roys twice during this stay. Got my favorite shoes on sale at Walking Company. ATM machine is close to the Roys.

Decent but touristy shops inside of the Waikoloa Resort right across from the Marriott. I actually found these shops to be better than the ones up in Queen’s Marketplace. Merriam’s Mediterranean Cuisine was very tasty, and the outdoor seating was pleasant under the umbrellas. I liked the Crazy Shirt store and the little, small boutique market. There’s a small Macy’s that carries proprietary island merchandise.
Some of the other tenants were less than stellar (including Roy’s and the Pig Pub Restaurant).
Overall, a surprisingly decent place to get some lunch or shop around.

The KIngs’ Shops is a great place to spend an afternoon if you are staying at any the Waikoloa Beach resorts.
The shops here are quite high end, with names like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany’s included in the selection. If you’re not looking to spend (or window shop, like I did), you may want to take a pass. There are some moderately priced options (Macys, etc.) and some chain stores such as Solstice (which, by the way, employed the most friendly sunglass salesperson I’ve ever met).
The high end aesthetic comes with added benefits: lovely spaces, well-​landscaped ponds and fountains, and a couple of nice dining selections.
Check it out while you’re here! Goodness knows, if you’re at Waikoloa, your options are limited without driving to Kona.

This is a shopping area that clearly posts signs that It is on private property, and does not permit shouting/​loud noises.
Very quiet place, low traffic, easy to shop for your goods. Very good they have Louis Vuitton here.

Cute little shopping center with some local art & a mini-Macy’s — very nice staff over all and at the end of the parking lot you can see some petroglyphs… and if you want to see more you can hike in a little more than a quarter mile to see more. We bought so local jellies from the cart in the middle * yum yum yum… one of the silly things I am glad we did– very yummy!

If you have forgotten to pack something for your vacation you can probably find it here. I got hubby a visor from one store & some sunscreen & a reusable folding cooler bag at the Whalers Village Store. Not too many restaurants. I think 3 total. 2 sit down & one «to go» place, Island Fish & Chips.

Small shopping mall just across the street from the Marriott. Really not too much to buy. More things down the street at Queen’s

Prime shopping real estate. :) they have high end shopping here. LOVE IT!!!

Decent little assortment of shops and food joints. The queens shops across the way are much more modern and better choices there.

The Kings’ Shops is a really nice place to walk through at night and don’t mind spending. If you want to stay on the cheaper side, go to the Queen’s Shops which is located just a short ways down from King’s Shops. Almost all of the shops here are upscale such as Louis Vuitton, Coach, and Na Hoku.
This shopping area holds a special place in my heart because it’s where I received my very first Coach bag. The sales personnel were very friendly and very helpful while I was trying to decide which bag I liked best. My boyfriend (who bought the bag for me) is from Hawaii and received a great discount because he is a resident, so definitely look into it if you’re planning on buying a new bag!

Great daily entertainment! We’ve enjoyed beautiful Hula dancing, slack key guitar playing, and shopping. A great place to enjoy Hawaiian culture and shop for Polynesian gifts.

What a great collection of little stores. They have high end name brand stores with a cute «mini» macy’s there. What I like best though are the restaurants with my personal favorite being the fish and chips. I went there every morning to start off my day right!
They have a convenience store there so if you’re away from home and forgot something, you can pick it up there or you can pick up some snacks for your daily touring. The shops are next to a man made lake where every morning, the koi come to the railing sides obviously due to being trained to get food there.
There is also a Shell gas station next to the stores so if you need to fill up on gas, it’s right there! The shopping center is also located across the street from the Waikoloa Beach Marriott.

For all our trips, I always enjoy walking around the Kings’ Shops. They have some high end stores like LV… you can find some local items… and some great places to eat like Roy’s. It is close to the Hilton and Marriott which makes it convenient if you are staying in the area.

Well, if you are a shopper… the Big Island may not be for you. I am a big fan of small towns, and unique shops… but we did not find much of that here. We decided to try the King’s Shops because that is something we do on vacation.
It reminded me of my mall, only out door… they had jewelry, shoes (the same as my mall at home), a small, limited Macy’s…should have been called «Macy’s Resort», Louis Vuitton, Cinnamon Girl, you get it.
Oh, and a koi pond that the little one loved! And dancers performed for free… that was so nice!
I needed more comfortable shoes… my feet just can not do flip-​flops anymore… so sad! But I found exactly what I needed.
DD and I both found something we desired, so it worked for us. I got a beautiful crochet topper by Eileen Fisher, and I was also able to get a gift for my niece’s birthday… that I am sure she will love.
Not the small, unique shops I wanted, but we liked it!

They have everything you’ll need in case you forgot to pack something or felt a sudden craving for some food or coffee.
Beware though, it’s expensive! As is everything on the island… We packed what snacks/​groceries in our suitcases so we could avoid the $ 8 boxes of cereal.

Well la dee dah, fancypants. If you’ve got money, you might like this better than Queens’ MarketPlace across the street. Kings’ has a Vuitton, Tiffany’s, etc., as well as full-​fledged restaurants, although not that many. There were weird trees with roots that go 2′ up from the ground, and pretty planters to sit on while you’re waiting for someone, also tourist fronts where you’ll be offered some pretty good discounts for rentals/​fun all over the island (snorkeling, scuba diving, helicopter rides, ATVs, horse riding, swimming with manta rays) if you go to a timeshare presentation.

Upscale shops that seem to offer the same exact merchandise year after year: high-​priced art glass, Noa-​Noa Indonesian batik clothing (nice but never changes), upscale kids’ clothes, Merriman’s café (restaurant in Kamuela is supposed to be better so I always go there), other restaurants (touristy upscale), Crazy Shirts and other tees (can also get them in downtown Kona), Coach, Nahoku expensive jewelry (bigger selection at Kona store)…The first 4 or 5 times I was there, I really liked the shopping — but it never changes. You might like it if you’ve never been there before — especially Noa Noa if you like batik.
So why go there? Because it’s the one and only place you can see a vast field of ancient hawaiian petroglyphs, which are tucked into the vast golf course for this high-​level resort complex. It’s heartbreaking to see the disrespect for this important cultural property, but there you have it.
Every time I go, the petroglyph field seems to have been defaced by more «bubba glyphs»: that is, modern grafitti writers adding their names or whatever. There’s no effort at preservation, and the fascinating petroglyphs seem more dwarfed by the golf course every time I go. But to see them — you park at the King’s Shops and follow the signs.
