"Unbeatable views! Manta Rays right there for your viewing pleasure! Pool slide fun’ we will be back!💕"

"Incredible resort with access to the other Hilton properties nearby. The grand scale and the beauty of the pools and walkways took our breath away! You could spend endless hours exploring it all. Our room was well appointed, we enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. Staff were helpful and friendly. Maid service could be more thorough. Would most certainly stay here again."

"Great area . Good location. Recommended."

"Wonderful in so many ways. Great kick off to our vacation with lots of fun things to do. Breathtaking grounds and world class Asian art and sculpture everywhere. Favorite activity was snorkeling in the lagoon; the fish were gorgeous and one family member had a memorable encounter with a gentle sea turtle. Housekeeping staff is amazing and helpful. Love the proximity to the Queens shoppes and the marketplace with delicious inexpensive food to take away. Suggestion: turn the Nui Nui (sp?) Italian restaurant at the hotel into a casual (affordable) breakfast diner in the morning. The breakfast buffet is amazing, but at $55 per person it is not a realistic place to grab breakfast daily. In all, we can’t wait to return to the Hilton Waikaloa and stay at the Makai Tower with its inspiring views and spacious rooms. "

"I stay here often nice place, great location."

"Beautiful, clean, and safe "

"Amazing beach and property ambiance. Great service and awesome breakfast. "

"Definitely will stay again. Love the spacious room. The full kitchen and the in-unit washer & dryer are awesome must-haves. Also, can't beat the free and easy parking (yay, no valet!). Front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and made great dining recommendations. Would love to see the property upgrade its flatscreen TVs to Smart TVs so I can stream movies and shows via apps like Netflix, Prime, etc. I made due with my iPad. Would love to see the gym/fitness center updated and upgraded. In fact, the last day I was there, they were in the process of remodeling the gym. I hope to return to have a chance to see the updates and work out! The concierge team can be a little pushy at times with tours and what I think was probably a Wyndham/Shell timeshare vacation membership. I didn't attend so I can't confirm that's what it was but it certainly sounded like a sit-down sales event. It wasn't mandatory, and I know they're just trying to do their jobs like everyone else, so I can overlook it. Hey, everyone's trying to get their bag so, no harm no foul. I didn't want to do any fancy tours or adventures, either. I was looking to do really chill, relaxing things, and just hang like a local. Overall, I had a great time at this place. I didn't want to leave. I had a very relaxing and carefree experience. Mahalo! P.S. - There are several cute and adorable outdoor cats (possibly wild?) on the property as well as geckos. Be on the lookout so you can try to take photos of them! "

"This hotel is a great refresh of an old hotel. So it’s old but refine very well. Rooms are serene, mood lighting is perfect, good outlets. Bed and pillows are Devine! Partial ocean view was a great room category. Staff was the best!"
