From a canal cruise in convertible mahogany boats and stand up paddleboard lessons in the salt water lagoon to multiple swimming pools (two with water slides) and an interactive dolphin experience, there is so much for a family to enjoy at this resort. Catch a movie while floating on a tube in one of those pools or relax with your favorite book in a hammock, the resort even has an amazing kids club so that you and your mate can take a date night secure in the knowledge that your kids are enjoying activities like golf, fishing or even a luau.
Set along 62 acres of pristine oceanfront, the Hilton Waikoloa Village has an array of restaurants, a multi-million dollar art collection that spans the resort grounds and a plethora of front row seats to amazing Pacific sunsets! The list of amazing opportunities and benefits in this place goes on and on and on!
We first visited this resort pre-kids about 10 years ago and told ourselves we'd be back whenever we had kids and they were old enough. So, last spring break we took our then three and half year old twin boys and five year old daughter on their first Hawaii trip and stayed here. It was every bit as awesome as we'd remembered! You have the option to walk, take a boat or a train to your room--the kids had so much fun each day just exploring the resort using all of these options! We had an ocean view room that also happened to look right over the Dolphin Quest area, so they enjoyed waking up to say hello to the dolphins each morning. The resort has a great sandy bottom little kids pool, several larger pools with water slides and waterfalls and large hot tubs. They have a small animal enclosure on-site with local animals to view and a fantastic lagoon for snorkeling or boating in (you can't miss the sea turtles diving under the waterfall!) Just walking through the resort is a treat, looking at all the different birds, fish and halls of Hawaiian art. They have a kids program that offers one free activity each day, or you can pay for a day's childcare there (with fun activities for the kids) if you like. There are several (expensive) restaurants on site, but you are not far from both the Kings and Queens Marketplaces where you can find cheaper fare, including an ABC store. Finally, if you've not done one, the Hilton's Luau is a wonderful experience for the whole family! I cannot recommend this resort enough to traveling families. Of course, you can be nickel-and-dimed there, but it's not too hard to keep costs reasonable (within Hawaii standards). Most (all?) rooms come with a mini-fridge, coffee maker and microwave, so you can do breakfasts, small lunches and snacks from your room, if you like. We plan to go back in a few years since our kids can't stop talking about the fun they had there!
What a great resort! We started in a roomy king size room and then moved to a beautiful one bedroom suite. Wonderful! Best rooms I've ever stayed in. Both the suite and the king size room.
Rented a cabana, well worth the price. Plenty of pools to choose from, gorgeous grounds. Beautiful and fun!
Large resort, be prepared to take your time and relax and enjoy!
Food on the property if very, very expensive. Bring a well stocked wallet!
This place is amazing. It has many pools, one with waterfalls and a waterslide. You have three ways to get around there.
1. walking(you walk through a outdoor path that links the the parts of the hotel together)
2. tram(fastest means of transportation)
or 3. boat(free, and by far the best.)
They have a scuba diving area, though I had trouble getting the younger ones in due to real sea turtles, nurse sharks, and many other types of fish. Dolphin Quest, costs(lots) of money and for adults is not worth it. You spend 30 min out of water and 15 min. in the water petting the dolphins. For kids have them do the dolphin twilight camp. They don't swim with the dolphins but they do feed them, and teach them tricks. Dinner is included. Then they go around for about 1 1/2 hours on a treasure hunt. Which my neice ensures was her "bery bery bery favorite part" and then they go where inside and play games, learn about dolphins, and get a cute t-shirt along with it. They don't stay overnight but they do stay pretty late. If you do go you are going to need to have at least one pool day or else you the price is not worth it.
Guest can cruise around the resort on mahogany boats or an air-conditioned Swiss-made tram. the resort encompasses a whopping sixty-two acres with three pools, two of which have waterfalls and waterslides.
