"The property is beautiful! The pools are amazing! The lagoon so cool, we saw 3 turtles, a baby mana ray and fish. The ocean is surrounding you. My 9 year did the dolphin encounter that she loved. Just be prepared to walk a lot, Even though there is a tram, waiting 16 minutes want worth waiting. We enjoyed the luau. We didn't eat on site, took the shuttle everyday to Queens market and Island Gourmet Cafe. We are at Lava Lava near by that was delicious. The Hilton is beautiful but pricy on activities on parking. We ubered 3 days to Hapuna and Mauna Kea our Uber driver new how to get us in. He told gate he was just dropping us off then we walked to beach. We did rent car 1 day but didn't leave it over night. Hilton is amazing though best hotel with clothes."
"This resort was beautiful, convenient, and well maintained by a very helpful and knowledgeable staff! We really enjoyed our 4 day/4 night stay and will definitely be back!"
"Absolutely perfect stay! Gorgeous property, Aloha spirit amongst all the staff with personalized concierge experience, out of this world snorkeling and sea life on the beach of the property, free snorkeling rentals, and lots of perks like kids eat free and daily complimentary cocktails. Our party of 8 ranging from 4 to 72 loved every minute here."
"It was a very spacious room. Great for big families. Laundry machine inside the room. But got disappointed when we found cockroaches at the kitchen.
Overall, customer service is excellent!"
