The hotel

Picture a white sand beach surrounded by acres of tropical grounds, with water sports galore and five different pools to cool off in. This is the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Amble over to the huge beachfront Super Pool or if you have kids in tow perhaps the family activity pool will tempt you. With more than 18 restaurants, cafés and bars, you can dine somewhere different every night too. And we recommend finding a good spot to watch the weekly Friday night fireworks show on the beach, you'll get some great snaps for the holiday album!

We stayed at this hotel for it's amazing history. Considering it is very crowded and popular, the property was very clean and well run. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to the Ali'i Tower which is nice for couples and adults as it has it's own quiet pool on the 2nd floor roof with lovely views of the water. The room was very nice, very comfortable mattress and nice bathroom. Very user friendly. The balcony was large and we had a view of the Super pool and center of the property and Ocean view. You can also swim on the beach and in the lagoon. Tropics restaurant was very good. There is plenty of convenient shopping in the Tapa and Diamond Head Towers, and the shopping area on the property. Several restaurants are on the property and there is even a post office. A luau is offered as well. The only downside are the crowds and it can get quite noisy outside. The room itself was quiet if you close the sliding doors and curtains at night. There was a nice fireworks show on, (every), friday night we could see from our west facing balcony. If you are interested in the fabulous history of this property, there is an informational exhibit on the wall in the Tapa Tower. This hotel made our vacation! Read less

Well we were so looking forward to our stay at the Hilton where we had stayed previously. But we left disappointed. We arrive at around 11.00 am but had to wait in a long queue to request at a cost of USD70 to be able to access a room earlier. So we paid out $70 and got a room.

Well we were so looking forward to our stay at the Hilton where we had stayed previously. But we left disappointed. We arrive at around 11.00 am but had to wait in a long queue to request at a cost of USD70 to be able to access a room earlier. So we paid out $70 and got a room. The room was in the Diamond Head building. Great views from the top floor and a separate bedroom, but the bedroom was internal with no windows so felt somewhat claustrophobic. Also, and the worst was the noisiest A/C I have ever experienced. Not only was it super noisy enough to prevent sleep at night, it didn’t cool well at all. Positives- nice staff, great beach, access to Ala Moana, restaurants. Cons - pricey, aircon, old facilities now, noisy and very big, some restaurants closed still, pools not terribly large Read less

I stayed in Waikoloa Village, HI which is located about 20 minutes north of the Kona Airport. I am a single senior male traveling solo …and I would return to Hawaii in a heartbeat. Paradise! Hillside views abound as well as weather in the mid 80s with perfect daily breeze...bit of light rain occasionally too. The Waikoloa Village is very close (3-10 miles) to some of the best beaches in HI. Overall, the island is exceptionally clean (no litter anywhere) and offers a quiet, tranquil, beautiful atmosphere. Places to discover and be entertained is varied and available all across the island. I spent my first 5 days discovering the island and my final days at the beach. Fabulous greenery views with wild turkeys, goats, beautiful birds greeting me daily as I drank my local “Kona Coffee”. The culture and people is noticeably laid back and relaxed... kindly locals and staff informed-helped- cooperated with me at all times. I would return to Waikoloa Village, HI and this paradise known as the big Island HI in a heartbeat. Plenty to see and do! Read less
