Hilton Waikoloa Village

A beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. If you've watched Wheel of Fortune when they are filming in Hawaii, this is where it is filmed. We upgraded to an ocean view room. Well worth it.

If you haven't heard, they have an interesting way to get to your room. After checking in, one goes to a boat, which goes around the huge hotel grounds on a large canal. The grounds are so large, they really needed a way to transport guests around the property. The boat ride and canal would have been much more enjoyable, but for the huge amount of rotting algae in the canal. Phew! What a stench!

We spent a very enjoyable week there last August 08. The dolphin pool was fun. The huge swimming pool was very relaxing, and we really enjoyed walking out on the point. A perfect place for Romance, bringing families, and everything. Great sunsets. They have childcare if you just need to get away... Despite the condition of the canal, this was one of our more enjoyable Hawaiian vacations.
