A complete destination resort, the Waikoloa Village is perhaps like no other place you've ever been to! Set in breathtaking tropical gardens, it features award-winning dining, world-class shopping and a huge range of activities covering everything from golf and tennis to water sports. As well as tranquil waterways, there are beautiful flagstone paths flanked by millions of pounds worth of Polynesian and Asian artwork. You can frolic in over 4 acres of freeform pools with waterfalls, a swinging rope bridge and a 175 ft water slide amongst the attractions.

This is a great property and there is lot of stuff for kids to do! Hotel is amazing it has great feel of an art gallery! has plenty of pools and slide for the kids to enjoy! Dolphin show was right under our lanai so kids could watch trainers do their stunts with them. Although being a Gold Elite Member with Hilton they were not too keen to upgrade despite the fact that almost half the hotel was empty, they go by the book which makes me wonder why do you need the front desk staff if they can't make a guests experience better... as per the membership I know what my upgrades would be but if you don't make anything better then that when you can it does not make it special for the guest to write a glowing review about the front desk. Hotel restaurants are pricy for the food quality, in fact the Italian restaurant was super disappointing. Big Breakfast value is fantastic with lots of options... their is paddle boats and standup paddling which kids enjoyed! overall a fantastic place for families... Read less

We stayed here on our excursion to Big Island. The first thing you notice is how massive the place is for no apparent reason. On check in we were clearly bait and switched out of an upgrade and got the old “only upgrade room available has a double bed.” You would think that with so many hotels doing the same thing tactics would evolve...clearly they don’t but nothing new. We were there for two nights and stayed in the palace tower, booking through Expedia. We had to ride a train to get to our room, which was a bit ridiculous and gives you a sense of the size of the place. The monitors at the train stops were old and gave you no indication of where the train was on the property. The train itself looked like a disney monorail in disrepair. Because of these things we opted to take the 15 minute walk from the lobby to our room. The outdoor pathways were lined with asian artwork. Japanese and Chinese sculptures, pots and paintings lined the walk ways. The pieces were poorly maintained and at night some of the large Oni statues were terrifying. If it is indeed valuable artwork it is a tragedy how poorly maintained the pieces are. If they are not authentic then it is the biggest collection of junk I have ever seen. The other problem is the hotel was eerily quiet. No ambient music, nothing. It felt at times like the property was completely abandoned and my wife in particular felt unsafe when we walked back from dinner one night and there was not a single person in sight anywhere in the hotel! The short, I think we will shell out the extra money next time and stay somewhere else in Waikoloa. Anywhere else really will do. Read less

Beautiful location with every resort amenity (and more) you could want. Staff is wonderful, location is breathtaking. We have stayed at many other resorts and this location was by far the best in our 25+ years of family travel. We will be back.

Beautifully landscaped hotel with plenty of sea turtles to watch in the very clear water just sea side of the hotel's lagoon. The grounds are a joy to walk around with stunning seascapes around every corner. Had a pleasant chilled vegan lunch at the Lagoon Grill. Facilities on offer at hotel are excellent but come at a cost.
