We stayed at the Hilton for 4 night/5 days. It is gorgeous and huge. Another reviewer said that the biggest drawback is that nobody will want to leave the hotel for other activities. They were so right! The pools are outstanding (waterslides, waterfalls, and hot tubs), the rooms are comfy and the facilities are opulent. It is a long way... More

check-in line was fairly long and only 1 person was working desk .. front desk person seemed to want to do vacation planning for a single couple when a bunch of people were waiting to check in .. after 25 minutes or so, another person came up and was very helpful. Dining prices are ridiculous (even with 'discount' card) ..... More

The staff and facilities were wonderful. We were fortunate that our time at this Hilton property on the Big Island was off seasion making everything seem almost private as there were fewer people vacationing that at other times. Perfect for mature adults having a true honeymoon experience. We loved the children we did see, having fun in the pools and... More

My husband and I just spent 4 nights/5 days at the Hilton in Waikoloa. We stayed in an Ocean Tower, Deluxe Ocean View room.... and it was gorgeous! The resort is huge, there is a tram to take you to and from the different buildings - with that said, it does take quite some time to get anywhere... make sure... More

This could be the perfect place to relax were it not for a never-ending series of Catch-22s. It is a magnificent hotel on huge grounds (trains and boats run between buildings). It has a great pool, but note that the ocean beach adjoining is rocky and swimming is not practical. Note that it takes 10 minutes to walk from the... More

Let me start by saying that this resort is big! There is a lot of walking involved, however we enjoyed walking trhough the property. The gardens are well kept and manicured and we found that the tram was a good way to get around especially when it warm during the day. We stayed in the palace tower with views of... More

First the bad one; The place is HUGE!! If you go to the pool be prepared for lots and lots of people. Funny thing was, the majority of them were locals, without wristbands denoting that they were paying guests. Can you say "connections"? It is expensive. The good one; Go directly to the lagoon, skip the pool. Pay $95 for... More

Absolutely Huge property with plenty of sand, water and art for everyone. I brought my wife here for our 25th anniversary and I have never seen her so relaxed, as there was so much to do so onsite and nearby. Sunniest area on Big Island, wear a hat. Beaches, fish, turtles, food, drinks, hiking, golf, boats and snorkling were all... More

Many have complained about the costs of staying here and how difficult it is to get off the property (long walk, etc) but it is a resort! The location and grounds are beautiful. The food is delicious and the staff at every turn was delightfully friendly and helpful. As it is a resort, you will pay a premium for your... More
