Be prepared to wait 15 minutes to take a 'tram' that travels at 1MPH with no AC to your room. You alternative is to talk a half a mile (no joke) to your room with your bags. The towels are not located by the pool, there's no water jugs on the facility and the drinking fountains didn't work. The property is beautiful, but cumbersome to walk around. If you like to spend 1-2 hours a day walking, then maybe you'd love it.

This place was pretty nice, especially considering the price and the price of other hotels around. The hotel itself looks a little dated but is currently undergoing a remodel, however, we did not have a remodeled room. With that said, there was a bit of construction on our side of the hotel so it was a tad noisy during the day. One of the few drawbacks to this place is the property is so big that there is a tram that goes between the hotel towers and it isn’t exactly fast. Overall, the ocean tower at the Hilton WAIKOLOA was pretty good value. We had a lovely oceanfront view to wake up to in the morning so it was worth it.

I’m soooo glad we stayed at the Ocean Towers in Waikoloa! Some reviews made me nervous but I’m glad I ignored them. We had a one bedroom plus, so we had a full kitchen. It was almost half the cost of the two other Hilton hotels of the resort and we had twice the space. Our room was completely remodeled, the hotel looks like it was all new. Absolutely beautiful and well thought out. Staff were always kind and helpful. We were right by a nice pool and a quick walk to the lagoon. The larger pool was about a ten minute walk (through beautiful grounds) or an easy tram or boat ride. So convenient! I only wish the restaurants stayed open later, but other than that it was perfect! We will go again!

The hotel room was just alright, however the property grounds and amenities were awesome! When booking the Expedia ad said new construction but the room was outdated and old. The bed was as hard as a rock! Sincerely one of the worst bed I’ve slept in. However, the property grounds and amenities were great for the kids and family.

Pros: We loved our stay here. It is very kid friendly and They have a lot of activities. The snorkeling in the lagoon is top notch. We saw so many turtles, fish, sting rays, and even a seal. Negatives: It is a very big resort so it’s a lot of walking but they offer a tram that is super slow or a boat. The food options are very limited. The restaurants are great, just pricey. The breakfast buffet is a 0/5. It is $55 a person and it’s just gross hotel breakfast food. If you go Thursday morning at 8, you might be able to see the dolphin show while eating tho. They also need more convient stores like an ABC store with abc store pricing. Lastly our hotel room was not yet renovated in the ocean tower but we had a good location and view of pool and partial ocean.

I really wanted to like this property. I think the goal is try to have as little as service as possible. Power went out while my son was showering and then again a couple hours later. No bedding for the second bed. House cleaning didn’t show up. I was polite and asked them to check the power and for house cleaning. Second day same thing. Great for some but will not return.

It's a huge property. There is a tram that can take you around the property, but don't be in a hurry. We had a great ocean front room in the towers, but it was 0.6 of a mile from our room to the front lobby. We enjoyed the walk around the beautiful grounds, but if your mobility is limited it could be a problem.

Incredibly overpriced. Parking $55 on top of $340 for one night in a dated room, and we still had to take the monorail to our room from the valet parking desk. Felt really ripped off staying here but didn't really have a choice for one night only in the area.

Beautiful resort which starts to show its age when you look closer. Be ready to walk a lot if you are not patient enough for their free (inside the resort) transportation options. We love to watch the humpback whales. Expect overpriced restaurants inside the resort. Sadly not much of good public transportation options outside of the resort.

Loved the setting overlooking the horseshoe bay & ocean - beautiful views! Lush landscaping with many pools to choose from plus the large lagoon with dolphin area and many family activities. Kamuela Provisions restaurant on the ocean was very good. Impressive art collection scattered throughout the many venues. Only negatives were the distance between buildings (must take the tram or hike it) and parking lot so far from the Ocean Tower (another tram/walk back & forth).
