Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort
Beautiful design, room was spacious and amazing. The most disappointing part was the food … eat at the Mauna and the Shipwreck Bar neither were good.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village
Plan to do a lot of walking as the tram that takes you to the other hotels or units broke down twice during our stay so we had to walk from the ocean towers to the front lobby, which is far. But the artwork during the walk and the view was spectacular..
