"4 out of 5 stars
Great family suite and pools, a few service misses kept it from being perfect We stayed at Hilton Grand Vacations at Kings’ Land in Waikoloa, Kona from March 12–18 and overall had a very good experience. The resort is beautiful, the suite was huge and spotless every day, and the pools were the highlight—clean, warm, and fun for the kids even when it rained. My children still talk about how much they loved the water slides and lazy river, and that alone made the trip worthwhile. A couple of things did stand out though. We arrived very late on check-in night and asked the front desk if we could buy a couple of bottles of water (everything nearby was closed). The agent said no and didn’t offer any alternatives, yet the guest checking in right next to us was handed three complimentary bottles—odd and a bit frustrating after a long travel day. Our room was always cleaned beautifully, but one evening we returned to find our daughter’s favorite stuffed toy and a few other personal items (left neatly on the nightstand) completely gone. We filed a missing items report right away and are still hoping it turns up. Another day we came back exhausted, ready to cook with groceries we’d bought, only to discover the kitchen sink was completely backed up. Maintenance responded quickly, but it took several hours (and a roto-rooter crew) to fix. We couldn’t use the kitchen at all that night. A simple comp to the on-site restaurant would have been a nice gesture, but the concier"

"Amazing property, close parking, and fun to see the chickens roaming around."

"Great stay "

"I found it quite noisy as you could hear people talking, top floors, tv’s."

"This is a fun hotel to stay at when in Paradise. We had first good weather and then rain. I would have thought that the hotel would have more activities for rain days. When my out going flight was canceled they were very cooperative on extending the sale :) "

"Golf was fabulous. Massage was good, but a little pricey. Staff was fabulous. Loved them all. "

"Balcony chair webbing was ripped open. There were tears in the drapery lining, Fridge and ice bin were in the bathroom > unpleasant double duty for bath vanity. NO MICROWAVE! The toilet/bathtub room was as dimly lit as a 15 watt lightbulb. The bathroom exhaust system wasn't working leaving the room soaked with moisture. The towel rack above the toilet had large areas of rusty bare metal. The grunge factor was everywhere. Upgrades have been done with new paint and tile but done on the cheap with unskilled labor. Tile corners were rough. Overpaint on doorknobs and towel hooks. Ceiling light by balcony door looks like it has been there since the 1970s. The very small desk area was directly under the TV. Power outlet on the desk lamp was so worn out a power cord would not stay in contact. The next closest power outlet was 8 feet away under the small table, or, it was in the mishmash of cords behind the desk that served the cable boxes. Wi-Fi was inconsistent and kept disconnecting. And after a power failure it never came back before we left. Why wasn't the hotel's system better surge protected? The noisy bar had an entertainer that thought distorted volume made up for lack of talent. The bar's Mai Tai was the worst EVER. I bottled cocktail would have been better. It tasted like canned orange juice. I ordered two Mai Tais and a French dip sandwich to go. Mai Tais were made right away. The drink ice had melted before the sandwich was served... with no dip sauce or napkins."

"Beautiful beach! Enough lounge chairs. We used the cabanas two days. Food and drinks are good. Any issue you needed help with was immediately taken care of. Did not like that one guest had two big Doberman dogs on property off leash. The energy was a little scary also. We turned around and didn’t use the hot tub that night. "

"Wonderful staff! Very close to the airport, downtown, and stadium. Room was clean. If you are traveling with anyone who has mobility issues, some rooms are located far from the lobby. There are no stairs for rooms on the upper level. We could hear people outside of our room passing by and talking and going up the stairs with their luggage. Hard to fall asleep with the noise. "
