5 Star Hawaii Resort - Your Resort

5-Star Hawaii Resort is a fun, mostly relaxing match-3 game with some resort building tossed in. The levels are not consistent in the difficulty, so at times you will finish a level without even realizing it, while other times you may need to replay it multiple times (and I mean multiple!) to achieve 3 stars, if you care about that. I really recommend playing Hawaii Resort BEFORE playing the newer, and improved, 5-Star Miami Resort. Going backwards may be a little difficult as there are no power-ups in Hawaii Resort.

Alright well... I will disregard the strangely inserted items in the beginning screen. They look really out of place... So much so, that if you didn't put them in... The scene probably would've looked better. But that's nitpicking. Although for this game... It's probably okay... Because I didn't really like it. It has colorful graphics/designs and you get to build the Hotel and yet... There are no Power Ups. Now, now... Power Ups aren't always essential to the Match-3 games, but this one... Would probably make it somewhat more tolerable! You see... The difficulty spikes and dips so much... That you will eventually tell the game to "F Off". Also, I understand that you count moves in Casual/Normal... But WHY does "Relaxed" Mode get a counter? It's invisible and atop the game it will say "Casual" (although it's Relaxed... But okay)... And you will start getting those "1 stars" after a few levels. Really? That and one of your levels ends... AFTER you detonate a single bomb. I didn't even finish the task! Not that I wasn't glad... But wth? Now, I could've probably continued to torture myself with this. I used to be more of a masochist and a tad bit nicer, but…

5 Star Hawaii Resort – Your Resort, developed and published by familyplay, is a casual resort-building experience that blends light management elements with familiar puzzle mechanics, aiming to deliver a relaxed and approachable gameplay loop rather than a deeply strategic simulation. From the moment it begins, the game leans into its tropical setting, presenting players with a sun-soaked Hawaiian backdrop where the goal is to transform a modest property into a thriving luxury destination. The tone is unmistakably cheerful, designed to evoke a laid-back vacation mood that prioritizes comfort and accessibility over complexity. The core gameplay is built around a dual-structure system that alternates between resort development and puzzle-based progression. On the management side, players gradually construct and upgrade various facilities, expanding their resort with new amenities that cater to guests. However, this aspect is intentionally streamlined, with most upgrades following a guided path rather than offering deep customization or strategic decision-making. The sense of progression is steady and visually rewarding, as each new addition enhances the look and scale of the resort,…

Generic. Yes, that nicely sums it up - its just simply a casual match-3-style game with a few side puzzles and a resort to build with your winnings from progress. It does absolutely nothing special nor does absolutely anything wrong. If you like this kind of thing, then it's a decent example getting suitably difficult as you progress. If you don't like this kind of think then it's exactly the casual mobile-style puzzle game you're careful to avoid, so you should.

Hawaii Resort is a match 3 game (align 3+ tiles to make matches). It is quite light (~90Mb) and thus takes no time to download and launch. There's some kind of story where you have to win gold (stars) to build a resort. Since no building you buy will change the playing experience, I guess it's there to have a background story. This game contains the expected bonuses when matching more than 3 tiles (bomb, lightning, etc.). No weapon, here. Meaning you have to play with what's on board. There are 3 levels of difficulties translated into a number of moves (normal / casual / relax). Although there's no timer, some levels contain some "migrating" stuff like water or cacao (?). So, playing quickly in these cases is important. There are 98 levels. Levels that are mostly match 3. I just bought this game and wanted to try it out - and ended up finishing it (about 5h in normal mode). The tiles are clearly distinguishable. It's moving fast and it is responsive. Cascading matches generate bonuses - which is great. Some levels (from 69 on) are badly balanced with definitely too few moves allowed. And that's about the only issue I have with this game. While a few levels are a simply too easy…

very disappointing, cant even play because the hotel button is not even on my screen want my money bck
