If you want a relaxing time at home away from home this is it. Everything was an easy travel distance to beaches etc. I scuba dive and this was a welcomed retreat afterwards.

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our four-night stay at Hilton Kings' Land. Our two-bedroom, two-bathroom deluxe suite was spacious and well-maintained, offering great convenience with its full kitchen and in-unit washer and dryer. The golf resort view from our room was also very beautiful. The resort's own pool complex was fantastic, featuring two fun waterslides and lava rock waterfalls. Additionally, the location is great because it is very close to beautiful Kohala Coast beaches like Hapuna Beach and Anaehoʻomalu Bay. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. While guests get access to the main Hilton Waikoloa Village, the shuttle service was quite frustrating. The timetable was not reliable, and total transit could take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, including up to a 30-minute wait for the shuttle. Driving yourself takes only five minutes, but parking is hectic with a 15-plus minute walk. My tip is to stick with Kings' Land's own pool because it is far more convenient and enjoyable. We also noticed a few large dead cockroaches in the Kings' Land pool. Given the surrounding tropical gardens, bugs landing in the water is somewhat expected, but better surface skimming by maintenance would help. Despite the shuttle issues and the minor pool skimming need, Kings' Land is a high-quality property. We highly recommend staying here and enjoying the wonderful on-site amenities."

"All the other condos in the area have access to the garage, and they also have beach gear stored there, left by owners and other renters. I rented another one a few buildings down that supplied everything, and we bought a bunch of beach gear and left it there for the next people, in addition to what the owner had left. However, this one had no access to the garage or the beach gear, which was a bit disappointing because we had to buy all sorts of beach gear. When we left, we left it somewhere else because we didn't know what the owners would do with it, like locking it up in the garage and not letting anyone else use it. Other than that, the property was great. The house was pretty clean and the price was great. We did enjoy our time there.That's for sure."

"The property was very convenient to the best place to eat on the island - the Island Gourmet Market. We went there every day for breakfast and lunch items. I have never seen such a massive array of prepared foods and Hawaiian gift items. The villa was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 2 twenty somethings. We let the girls have the massive master bedroom. We loved the beautiful, quiet pool area with the cascading waterfall as well as the hot tub. These villas also came with their own garage which had beach equipment, coolers and beach chairs. The only problem we had was the owner only gave us 4 of the 5 digits needed for the keypad tonget into the garage. That was easily taken care of the next day with the management company. I would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!"
