This place is like a cruise ship: a shiny white toilet in the ocean. THERE IS NO BEACH HERE. Stay at the Westin which is on the beautiful beach. You need a tram to get from one area to another. They have a man made lagoon and the rentals for the canoes paddle boards and the very chairs around the lagoon cost a small fortune. There is nothing to do here at the Hilton waikiloa. Don’t stay here.

8.6/10 Excellent! (458 reviews)

Overall, our accommodation was quite good! The room facilities were a bit outdated, and the bathroom sink was a little small for a family of three. Room B23 had a great view, overlooking the ocean, trees, and beach. The kitchen stove was convenient for preparing simple meals. The washing machine and dryer came with laundry detergent, which was very convenient for doing laundry – a real necessity in Hawaii! The beds were comfortable, and the sofa bed was also quite comfortable. The downsides: the housekeeper only cleaned the room once, and for the rest of the time, we had to request towels and other necessities from the office. There were some small cockroaches in the room, but I think this is unavoidable due to the climate of Hawaii.

Staff was great but it was a real process getting the correct password for our wifi. It was just out of date and they had to contact the rental company over in Maui. Otherwise we had a nice time!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)

Absolutely loved this resort! The vibe was chill and inviting. The room we received upon checking in was not quite what we were expecting. Called down to ask for a room with a view that would match the description of the premium one bedroom suite that was described when booking. Within a half hour we were moved and the room was exactly as booked and provided an amazing view of the ocean and overlooked much of the resort. The room was very nice and comfortable for the four of us with the pull out sofa in the living room and two full bathrooms. The food was excellent and amenities were well maintained. Above all else the staff were amazing. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We loved the options for shopping on the property and the gym was excellent. Overall very memorable experience and look forward to a return visit!
