Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village
10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous place to stay. Very clean room with all your needed amenities and safe place to stay and walk. It is definitely a resort. You don’t need to leave unless you want to but of course we love Hawai’i so we get out and adventure. It’s a very large property so expect a lot of walking once you are all checked in or you can take the free hotel tram between the buildings within. There is a kiosk that tells you when the next tram picks up and you can see where it is and which way it’s going, to buildings and pools on the right or back to the left to the main lobby and then farther to the left to the other buildings and pools/hot tubs(this was our favorite pool) There are 5 different buildings that house guests and that is why I’m explaining all this. We were in building 5 and we overlooked the golf course and ocean. We couldn’t see the sunset from our room but we still had a magnificent view. Several different pools and all are very clean. The pools are not heated and were pretty cold for 80 degree weather it didn’t seem to matter to anyone. We never went in the all adults pool as we had a toddler but it was very nice and very quiet and relaxing as you walk by. I’m trying to be as thorough as possible because some of this would have been great to know off the bat. If you get there late everything is closed. Either grab something at a store or Domino’s will deliver very late and even if you don’t like their food, we were grateful after traveling all day. "
"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 :)

4/10 Poor
"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. "
"The property grounds were beautiful and serene. We were so happy we chose this place outside the hustle and bustle of Hilo. The trip into Hilo was about 20 minutes, but the drive was beautiful and worth the peacefulness of the property. There were many sites to see within a few miles, such as Akaka falls and the Botanical Gardens."
