The outdoor seating area was wonderful, we ate dinner out there every night. All the staff was incredible, very helpful and very nice and helpful. Location was wonderful, convenient,shuttle was great.

Cons: One small complaint is we felt the beds could have been a little better, they were not horrible by any means.

Pros: The place is located close to shopping and the resort. It has beautiful pools and the kitchen facilities in the suite are excellent.

Cons: We had bed bugs in our room. Hilton transferred us to another room after 3 days in the infested room. This was a spoiler on the vacation.

Pros: great size for our family

Pros: Second time our family has stayed here. Facilities are very clean, staff exceptional.

Pros: Spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath suite with full kitchen and laundry. Nice facility including nice pool area with water slide.

Cons: Not on the beach but close to it.

Pros: I liked the floor plan layouts. We had access to other Hilton resorts.

Cons: Too far from the ocean. Pool wasn't as nice as Kingsland (sister resort). Floor were thin....we had a first floor unit and could hear footsteps above.

Pros: Pools, location, scenery, condo, wildlife, access to the full Waikola village

Cons: Wish there was a breakfast option at Kingsland.

Pros: Everything was great and to expectations

Cons: Last day we had drinks at the bar, the second charge was for 2 beer's and we must have been charged for someone else's, instead of 16 dollars our card was charged 43.o1.#477o98 (Ms Kohanaiki)

Pros: large pool with multiple waterfalls and slides

Cons: When it was windy outside, the wind howled through the front door. Lacked kitchen supplies such as bowls, plates, cups, glasses, utensils….Had to wash these things for EACH meal in order to have them for the next meal. In addition, there was no place to put/take garbage and bag of recycled items when the bins under the kitchen sink were full. We saw that other people simply placed their garbage bags next to the trash can on the first floor.

Pros: Lava Lava Beach Club.

Cons: 2nd time staying and wont be back for awhile. Disappointed in the lack of restaurants open and cleaning staff! This is rediculous!! Wake up ! U rely on your tourists and visitors! Im so unhappy this time with this property. No brunch, no breakfast at all! Why??? Will not be back.

Pros: Pools are fantastic. Staff are super friendly and very attentive.

Cons: Can’t think of anything!

Pros: Room was very comfortable and well-equipped. Nice appliances, good water pressure in the shower.

Cons: Wished the lanai was bigger, the hope was the lanai would stretch the entire width of the unit instead of just the living room section.

Pros: The Kohala Coast is one of the best locations in Hawaii for a luxury family vacation. Lots of recreational choices for everyone.

Cons: For couples and a better beach and hotel, the Mauna Lani Resort is better.

Pros: The best thing about the Kingsland resort is the opportunity to have a 3 bedroom apartment -- with 4 adults (1 couple and 2 singles) this was ideal. Fully outfitted kitchen, with ample bathrooms, and nice lanai balcony for relaxing.

Cons: Building 9 in the Phase 1 buildings needs update, particularly to bathrooms where showers did not work very well. We found the largeness of the resort difficult because there was not good signage or user-friendly maps. Breakfast buffets in resorts are always expensive, but this one was not very good, not even equal to less expensive Hilton hotels. the Waikiloa resort amenities are usable to Kingsland guests, but huge and not very accessible. Be prepared to walk up and down a lot of stairs.

Pros: A very friendly and comfortable place. Staff is excellent and the Bistro was better than expected, making good food and drinks.

Cons: Bistro and Bar close early: 6:00 PM before Memorial Day, 7:00 PM after MD. The "Serenity Pool" really wasn't... Mostly kids with pool toys and water guns running around and screaming, having fun! So as long as you are not expecting the "Serenity Pool" to be completely Serene, its OK. Turns out the Adult area on the main pool is more Serene and closer to the bar, which is a plus...

Pros: Loved the openness of the resort and the outdoor dining. Food was excellent. Vacationers were constantly coming and going, but the resort never felt crowded. Housekeeping was spot on and always made sure we had plenty of coffee and towels. Location was perfect, very close to shopping, black sand beach, helicopter tours, etc...

Pros: bar staff at the adult swimming pool and staff at the bar did give us great service.

Cons: rude staff, did not make us feel welcome

Pros: bar staff at the adults swimming pool and bar staff at the hula bar great service. great facilities.

Cons: we was on our honeymoon and did not feel that the hotel made any effort to make us feel that it was our honeymoon, we had to wake up at 6am and speak to the desk to resolve the issues which they charged me resort fees even if I had paid this via booking.com. The lady that I spoke to made me feel that I was lying and I then spoke to carols the manager who did not believe me and made me show them proof via email. if you do stay here please do check if the bill is correct before checkin out. Carols the manager did try to resolve the issue by offering my 50 dollars that they had taken for my resort fees as a good will gesture I did not find this a good will gesture as he was returning my money anyway. The restaurant within the hotel called browns had a chef who was more interested in drinking with his friends then making good food.

Pros: I like the location, staff and the facilities like the Gym, Pool and beach.

Cons: The Room is old, requires some update. Bed have no proper doona (duvet), we had lots of ants in our room.

Pros: We stayed Sunday-Weds and it wasn't crowded/busy at all and so relaxing. We loved the grounds of the resort and the open/airiness of the hotel. We walked arounds all the ponds and looked at the fish and enjoyed the cabanas on the beach. Although we didn't as much advantage of it, there are free workout classes (yoga, pilates, etc) and free usage of the snorkel gear, kayaks, and bikes. The shuttles that can take you to the Fairmont, the Shops (with grocery), and the gym/spa was very convenient. Everyone was very friendly at the hotel. We had an ocean view room where we could view the pool area too and we were able to watch the gorgeous sunset from our balcony every night. Our king bed room was very spacious with double sinks. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons: Not a huge deal, but there were some ants in the bathroom and when I left a can of juice out on our coffee table. We also ate at the Honu bar (spelling?) the new bar and it was just the 2nd night it opened. The food and drinks were overpriced for the atmosphere of the bar, which looks like it was put together with random leftover furniture. I think if they invested more into the ambience the food/drink price would be better matched or keep that space as a casual cafe. It would be nice to have a more casual priced restaurant at the resort, where you could grab coffee, drinks, and sandwiches. I felt like the eating options were limited.

Pros: Resort facilities were amazing and staff was exceptionally helpful. We will be making this our annual vacation.

Cons: Rooms could use updates, but any time we told the staff of any issue they immediately took care of it and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Pros: Ultra friendly staffs, free snorkeling gear, free cabanas, luxurious rooms.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: I used to love this place - the funky retro vibe was kitchy and the staff used to be super friendly. Now? Not so much. I was attacked by what I'm guessing are bedbugs and the front desk had no reaction whatsoever. As a repeat guest they used to upgrade me all the time - this time I asked about it and was told different things (they don't do that anymore, the rooms weren't available, check back later). Meh - there are better options on the island.

Pros: Bought our stay through kayak. Misread the email regarding breakfast, and we thought it was included. Food was crappy, but we thought nothing of it because we assume it was free. Got stuck with a 66$ bill, and when we went to inquire at the front desk they eventually said "sorry we didn't screw up, you did". Worst part is they had a promotion that if you stayed 3 nights you got the 4th for free, and 4 nights would have qualified us for free breakfast. The resort itself was gorgeous, but everything in the area was over priced and sub par. Even the surrounding mini mall is poor value, since everything is catering to the resort. We averaged spending 200$ a day on food, for what was the equivalent of whole foods level food. The view was nice, but will not be returning. Would not recommend

Pros: Beautiful clean rooms and grounds. Friendly staff. Really great, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: Didn't stay long enough!

Pros: Facilities clean and well maintained for older facility. Rooms comfortable Staff friendly

Cons: VERY EXPENSIVE for what you get The $25 resort fee gets you snorkeling gear and thats about it. Everything else costs extra. This is not a place to bring kids. There is very little to do here besides swimming. Food choices are limited. There are 2 expensive restaurants ($100/person), and 2 grills that serve burgers and flatbread pizzas. Clientele are mostly older, childless couples. The wind blew continuously- Might be normal for November? Reefs are in bad health and only saw about 5 species of fish There is nothing to see in the near area. Very isolated. Volcano National Park 3.5hr, Mauna Kea Observatories 1.5hr Rainbow Falls 1.5hr, Hilo 1.5hr, Kona Airport 20min

Pros: Lush landscaping, multiple fish and turtle ponds. Loved the balcony, ocean view. Secluded quiet beach. We went in October so it was not crowded. The breakfast buffet was great. The valet service was exceptional. Snorkeling right there.

Cons: Not enough restaurants. Although the entrance and lobby was grand, it looked a bit shabby. Missing tiles in the hot tub, general upkeep stuff. The room was small even though we paid for high end room.

Pros: The service was impeccable and the small touches that most hotels miss made things memorable.

Pros: Beautiful grounds and great treatment

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Awesome hotel!! Stayed in a bungalow!!!!

Cons: Loved everything about it!!!

Pros: Exquisite! Paradise! This facility is outstanding! It was more than I expected! Very plush, tranquil ponds and water falls with lots of exotic plants, fish ponds, beautiful beach front and grounds! Inside is beautiful and well maintained. Good breakfast buffet selection and menu items. A little pricey, but all of Hawaii is pricey! Loved our stay and look forward to returning! Aloha!

Pros: The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The room was spacious and comfortable. The grounds were clean and well maintained. We loved the fish ponds with turtles. The beautiful sandy beach was just steps from our room. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Cons: The dining options were all fairly expensive and we had to drive up the road to find inexpensive, light meals.

Pros: Overall the villas have excellent location, amenities, service by staff, and cleanliness. I prefer to use these facilitates rather than hotels in the same area ... a better value or the price.

Cons: N/A

Pros: location, amenities, free parking, fitness center, pool

Cons: N/A

Pros: Awesome amenities, almost everything we needed was already included in our stay! There was even a rice cooker, which is essential for us. Beach gear was included in the unit, and was highly appreciated. The pools were spectacular, even though we spent most of our time at the beaches. Location was great, gated community was a big plus! The staff was the best! They were helpful with all our questions and requests. Very friendly, very professional.

Cons: Limited nearby parking. It's first come, first served. Most of the stalls were reserved. Cleanliness of the unit could have been better. There were a few noticeable cobwebs, and bathroom fixtures could have been more polished. Upstairs TV was dated. Wish BBQ's were closer to the units.

Pros: Exclellent stay.

Cons: There were some dishes inside the washing machine that were not clean.

Pros: It’s very comfortable, a real home away from home. Very secure, with a gated entrance. The pool was amazing!

Cons: Some appliances are quite dated, but all still functioning so can’t really complain. Even though the property has a garage, there was no access to it which was disappointing, as you had to find a parking spot. Some times the parking spots that were available were quite far away from the townhouse.

Cons: The tile floors in the kitchen/stairs and living area were all the same - dangerous for someone with a visual impairment - you might consider changing the stairs , it all looks like one level from a distance

Pros: I liked the location. The condo itself was a good size. The pool was nice and the grounds are nicely maintained. It is quiet.

Cons: There was not enough parking. We had just one car each for two condos, and we had to drive in circles to find a place to park. There should be at least one spot reserved for each condo--perhaps a second for an additional fee. Residents should be discouraged from parking in the non-reserved spots. It was very annoying. I was disappointed in the amenities. I wanted to play tennis, but when I went to the office, they said they didn't have rackets for rent. The condo was poorly appointed. I spent a fortune on Kona Coffee only to have it ruined by the cheap, 1980s Procter-Silex coffee maker. All the dishes and kitchenware looked like they came from a garage sale. And there was not so much as salt and pepper in the kitchen. The management will leave you one spare roll of TP. So, if you're there for a week or so, you may need to call in for additional supplies. This is so unnecessary--it seemed really chintzy. That said, if you need something, the staff is friendly and will bring it to you fairly quickly. Our condo didn't have any pool towels, and they were delivered within an hour. If you want to relax and watch a little television on your vacation, don't expect a flatscreen HD TV. You want a robe? Bring one from home. With tax, service charge, and cleaning fee, we spent $425 per night per condo. For the price, I expected more.
