Top Kua Bay Hotel Reviews

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Hilton Waikoloa is a beautiful microcosm of culture, amazing art and wonderful views. The tram is a huge help if you're staying in the Ocean Tower. I recommend going to King's Land for dining, especially A-Bay's for late night. I'm surprised there is still a vacancy at the"

Hilton Waikoloa Village

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and beautiful; however the air conditioning was not working properly. Maintenance came to fix it twice and stated it was fixed but it was not. They even offered to come in again during my last night but I declined because I didn’t want my day to be interrupted again and it seems as though the fixes were not working at all. The temperature in the room was tolerable during the night, so I wasn’t uncomfortably hot. I would recommend and even stay at this hotel again if I ever revisited Kona."
