Hilton Waikoloa Village
The property is stunning and our room was lovely albeit very expensive (ie $1900 Canadian with breakfast). The lua was disappointing as it’s pretty much impossible to make a group of 800 people feel special. We will definitely come back but will be watchful of prices and special events .
