We Stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village for a Week — Was It Worth It?

We spent an entire week staying at Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii, and in this video, I’m sharing our honest, first-time experience at one of Hawaii’s largest and most talked-about resorts.

From the lava-rock drive from Kona Airport to the resort’s massive 62-acre layout, we break down what it’s really like to stay here—including the long walks, the free tram system, and whether staying in Ocean Tower vs Orchid Tower actually matters.

You’ll see a full Hilton Waikoloa Village resort tour, including:
✅ Our Ocean Tower hotel room (and how we got it for a great deal)
✅ The lagoon, pools, and beach access
✅ Kayaking and snorkeling in the resort lagoon
✅ Spotting sea turtles and tropical fish
✅ A visit to Hapuna Beach, one of the best white sand beaches on the Big Island

We also cover food and dining at the resort and nearby. Plus, we compare the resort’s luau with a Fairmont Orchid luau, breaking down luau prices in Hawaii, what’s included, and whether the experience is actually worth the cost—especially if it’s your first time in Hawaii.

If you’re planning a Big Island Hawaii vacation, considering staying at Hilton Waikoloa Village, or trying to decide if a Hawaii resort stay is worth the money, this video will give you a realistic look at what to expect.
