"This is a beautiful, peaceful property. I would highly recommend staying here. We look forward to returning in the future. Mahalo!"

"Fantastic stay! The two bedroom unit was perfect for our family! "

"Worth it"

"Amazing property with great views and pool area. Staff is friendly and courteous. The beach is also right in front as well. They have enterprise on the property so you're able to rent a car. Amazing shops and food spots nearby as well. I will definitely be back! "

"The unit was newly renovated, everything in top condition. Very spacious room. Kitchenette had everything we needed."

"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. "

"This property is excellent by any measure. The lobby and surrounding patio is gorgeous; especially at night with the torches lit. There was a guitarist each night with drink/food service. Pool area is beautiful; plenty of chairs for all guests which is unusual. Drink/food service was always available. The entire grounds is well manicured. The lagoon is very pretty and loaded with fish. Many places to sit of an evening with several fire places on the grounds and near the beach. Really a lovely setting. Only downside was the price of food which did borderline a little silly. Breakfast, although very good food quality and presentation, price was $50 per person. Drinks are $14 and above. Dinner was very good, again very high priced. We noted many persons were going to the nearby grocery store up the road to stock up. Very nice food choices at store but keep in mind there is no microwave in the rooms. Rooms were perfect."
