Location
Hilton Waikoloa Village boasts an impressive location that captivates guests with its stunning ocean views and magnificent exteriors. The serene setting provides a picturesque backdrop that includes lush gardens, a saltwater lagoon, and incredible sunsets observed from private balconies. Guests are enamored by the fantastic scenery and enjoy access to multiple pools and a private beach.
The property's expansive outdoor areas and layout are perfect for those keen on exploring, with the location offering sunny and mild weather that complements the overall relaxing ambiance. Visitors appreciate the convenience of surrounding areas filled with stores and restaurants, expanding the range of available activities and dining experiences.
Despite its secluded position, which might make venturing beyond the resort more challenging, Hilton Waikoloa Village offers a relaxing sanctuary with inherent beauty throughout its extensive grounds. While some visitors find the parking expensive and dining options limited, the breathtaking environment helps compensate for these disadvantages, drawing travelers to its beautiful scenery and excellent setting.
Breakfast
At Hilton Waikoloa Village, breakfast is a highlight worth experiencing, drawing praise for its hearty and varied offerings. Guests often describe it as a rich and comprehensive buffet, where the quality of both food and service stands out. The attentive and kind wait staff at the Nui restaurant enhance the dining experience, making breakfast here a delight. While the main restaurant also earns positive remarks for both breakfast and dinner, some guests feel that the breakfast buffet, priced at $55 per adult and $29 per child, might be too costly for daily indulgence. Despite this, the overall consensus is that the breakfast experience is notable, thanks to its comprehensive variety and exceptional service, even though a more diverse menu could elevate it further.
Dinner
Hilton Waikoloa Village offers a picturesque ocean view and a stunning lagoon that guests find appealing. However, when it comes to dining options, travelers might notice some shortfalls. The hotel features a limited selection of restaurants for dinner, with only two open in the evening, and many eateries close earlier than some guests might prefer. For those seeking a memorable experience such as the luau, it is advisable to plan ahead as it tends to sell out quickly. The on-site dining, notably at KPC, is set against a breathtaking sunset backdrop, but the cuisine seems to leave much to be desired, feeling comparable to a diner yet at a premium cost. Guests have expressed that food prices across the hotel are significantly higher than what they might find outside, with meals like pizza and a Coke climbing to around 80 USD. Such costs can amount to a hefty dining bill, especially for families, leaving visitors feeling that the culinary experience doesn’t quite match the beauty of the setting.
Rooms
The guest reviews of the Hilton Waikoloa Village offer a variety of insights into the hotel rooms. Many visitors praise the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, often highlighting the spaciousness and stunning views, particularly those with a beautiful resort or sea view. Some guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers on the bed. However, the decor and overall maintenance of the rooms seem to fall short according to several reviews, with many noting that the rooms and common areas feel outdated. Issues like old carpets, outdated bathrooms, and lack of Hawaiian decor were mentioned. A few reports of cleanliness concerns, such as cockroaches and infrequent housekeeping services, were noted as well. Despite these mixed observations, the comfort of the beds and the cleanliness of the rooms were points of satisfaction for many guests. Overall, while the rooms could benefit from modernization, the attractive views and comfortable accommodations provide a pleasing experience for most visitors.
Cleanliness
Hilton Waikoloa Village offers a mix of experiences when it comes to cleanliness and maintenance, based on guest reviews. While the lush lagoon and mesmerizing dolphin encounters stand out as highlights, certain areas, particularly the rooms, have shown signs of aging and could benefit from renovations. This grand resort’s facilities are noted to be outdated, and several guests have encountered issues such as musty smells and sightings of cockroaches. Cleanliness in some rooms was questionable, with reports of dirty carpets, stained sheets, and poor-quality towels. Despite these drawbacks, the housekeeping staff is commended for their diligence and consistency in maintaining room cleanliness, adding to the positive experience. The property itself, with its picturesque settings, remains a beautiful and scenic retreat, offering a well-organized environment that sometimes overshadows the shortcomings of its rooms.
Staff
At Hilton Waikoloa Village, the staff receive significant praise for their friendliness and accommodating nature, making guests feel welcome throughout their stay. Many reviews highlight the amazing and helpful interactions with staff members, noting the exceptional service provided by individuals like Roberto, who is described as magical. The reception team also stands out for their excellence in service, frequently going beyond expectations to assist guests with queries and requests. Housekeeping staff consistently deliver high-quality service in maintaining guest rooms. There are some mixed impressions, however, with comments about certain staff feeling underappreciated and the occasional snobbiness affecting interactions. Instances such as the front desk not inquiring about guests' stays and an overall lack of training are noted, suggesting room for improvement in specific areas. Despite these occasional inconsistencies, the general atmosphere cultivated by the Hilton Waikoloa Village staff remains largely positive, contributing to a welcoming environment.
Pool
Nestled within the stunning Hilton Waikoloa Village, the pool areas offer a captivating oasis of relaxation and fun for guests of all ages. The beautifully designed pools, adorned with waterfalls and bridges, create a picturesque setting that enhances the natural beauty surrounding the resort. Guests can enjoy the extensive swimming pools that cater to both kids and adults, featuring perfect water temperatures and exciting slides that provide endless enjoyment.
The resort also includes a large swimming pool conveniently located near the Makai accommodations, ensuring easy access to a refreshing swim at any time. The pools are complemented by a protected lagoon that opens to the ocean, offering a unique blend of tranquility and adventure in a breathtaking setting.
While the property itself is vast and bustling, the lush grounds and strategically placed amenities like restaurants and shops make it easy to find moments of relaxation amidst the vibrant atmosphere. Despite the resort's size, the pools remain a highlight, providing a wonderful retreat for families and couples alike, ensuring that all guests can take full advantage of the beautiful Hawaiian surroundings.
Parking
Visitors to Hilton Waikoloa Village have noted that parking fees at the hotel are significantly high, with rates ranging from $40 to $48 per night for self-parking in an uncovered lot. Several guests feel that these charges add an unexpected burden, especially given the existing accommodation costs. Additionally, some guests have mentioned the inconvenience of the parking area being a considerable distance from the main hotel facilities, which may require a lengthy walk to reach their vehicles. Despite the expansive grounds of the hotel, the parking fees are perceived as excessive, affecting the overall price-performance ratio of staying at the resort.
Family
Hilton Waikoloa Village emerges as an ideal destination for families with children, offering a range of activities that cater to younger guests. The resort's pools receive high praise, often described as excellent and beloved by kids for the exciting slides and nearby dolphin encounters. The lagoon stands out as another highlight, deemed perfect for family enjoyment and relaxation. Guests appreciate the variety of food options available, adding to the convenience of a family-friendly environment.
