My wife and I love this resort. We stayed there in 1993 when it was the Hyatt Regency Waikaloa, and then again in 2021. One of the reasons the Big Island is our favorite island is this resort. It's just so relaxing and so much to do when you don't want to relax. My wife did the Dolphin Quest in '93 when it was only available to adults via a room number lottery, but in '21 our whole family enjoyed Dolphin Quest. Definitely another plus for this place.

Hi gary thanks you for enjoying the video. When it comes to restaurants that are open I would suggest Kamuela Provision Co., for steak and seafood. It has the best view, facing the ocean.

Awesome video! My wife and I are planning to visit in October. Stuck between Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and this one. Which would you recommend? This resort seems quieter and less children running around. However it doesn’t look like there is much surf? We wanted to surf when we were there so would Oahu- Waikiki be a better option? I watched your Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort video as well and it was an awesome video!

Hi thank you very much for watch and thank you for liking my videos. I just want to point out that both resorts are in different islands. Hilton Hawaiian village is on Oahu while Hilton Waikoloa village is on the big island. So if you plan to vacation on Oahu definitely stay at HHV but if you vacation on the big island definitely stay at HWV. Both resorts are great. HHV could be very busy during summer months but it's in the heart of honolulu. Waikiki beach is just steps away from the resort and the resort is near to everything. If you decide to visit the big island HWV is quieter and pretty big be prepared to walk longer. If you have more question please comment down below. Please do not forget to subscribe to my channel. Thanks again.

Go to the Big Island. There is a lot more to do and Waikiki is cool but it basically is a crowded city beach. ALL beaches in Hawaii are open to the pubic and the west coast of the Big Island has loads of beautiful beaches. We usually drive to a new beach or 2 each day. The surf on the west coast is super gentle in the summer and it's especially mild surf in the mornings. Snorkeling right off the beach is great from several beaches. Don't be shy, buy a book that shows you where to access the beaches and go to even the fanciest hotel's beach. We go to several hotel's and parks on the west coast. The west coast is dry and it nearly never rains there, but drive over the volcanoes to the east coast and you are in a rain forest. Drive up to the high country for beautiful cowboy country. In the village of Waimea, try the Hawaiian Style Cafe for a laid back casual meal including banana macadamia nut pancakes anytime of day. Village Burger is also casual and very nice burgers from local ingredients. Get there early for Wagu burgers. Merriman's is an upscale restaurant if you can get a sitter for the kids but they usually have a happy hour in the mid-afternoon with outdoor dining where prices are better and the food is great. Waikiki does have beginner surf lessons but I am not sure if you can get the same on the Big Island. I imagine you can. For me, the Big Island is more spacious and beautiful with tons of beaches, mountains, high country and volcanoes.

Is the Ocean Tower any good? Is the village better or the tower? What is the Palace? What would you recommend if you are not traveling with children. Adults only (in their 40's/50's) and on honeymoon.
@jeztravel

Hi stella thank you for watching. The ocean has been refurbished recently so the rooms are newer than the other towers. Since it is part of HGVC most rooms has kitchenette which is great if you want to cook your meals. However, ocean tower is the farthest when it comes to resort facilities but it has the adult pool inside the courtyard. The palace tower is the best location when it comes to going to resort facilities because it is in the middle but the rooms are older and smaller. We have stayed there and our room was small. Just remember this resort is primarily for family but it is great for adults as well. However if you like a quieter time during your vacation this might not be the choice since there will be a lot of kids running around. If you do like more intimate atmosphere and more pampering there’s four seasons on the island. We have stayed here 3x and we love this place and compare to four seasons HWV is way cheaper. For more Hawaii vacation idea’s please do not forget to subscribe, thank you 🙏.

For the truth check out the Tripadvisor reviews summary and reviews. As the video shows, the overall property is a showcase, but the rooms are run down and reported to be not clean. The service is variable and the price for the value is astronomical. As a Lifetime Hilton Diamond Member I would never stay at this property again.

Hawaii doesn't have any all inclusive resorts any more, although I think it would be a great idea for many resorts. BUT, they'd have to up the costs considerably to compensate for the loss of revenue from the restaurants. When the Mauna Kea first opened and was the only hotel on the Kohala Coast they included breakfast and dinner every day on their dining plan because there was literally no place else to go.

Cruise lines have all inclusive figured out at much lower costs. I can do a 7 night, all inclusive Disney cruise for much less than $14,000 plus tax, parking and resort fee.

Hilton Waikoloa is big. It is not luxurious, it is not the most beautiful, and certainly NOT the best resort to stay on on the island, that would be the Four Seasons Resort Hualala'i. Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea and Fairmont Orchid. The captive dolphin feature is reason enough to avoid the Hilton.
