"I have nothing but good things to say about the Hilton Grand Vacations Kings Land. The pool, rooms, and upkeep of the sprawling property were fantastic. In addition to the big pool, there are also smaller pools spread throughout that are closer to the individual units. We stayed in building 24, about a 7 minute walk from the lobby, but we had a pool just downstairs from us if we didn’t feel like taking the walk. The staff were so kind and helpful. Make sure you take advantage of the activities too! My daughter and I learned to weave palm fronds for a special souvenir, and the yoga looked like fun too.
The trade off is that you aren’t on the beach, though there are options to get to the beach. We rented a car and it was just a short drive to Hāpuna beach, A Bay, and 49 black sand beach. There is also a shuttle from the hotel to the Hilton Waikoloa and you get access to their lagoon, pools, etc.
The nearby Kings Shops and Queens Marketplace are also great amenities. Many of the shops you find in Kailua have satellite locations just a 5 minute drive from Kings Land. There’s also a grocery store if you want to fill your fridge and make food for yourself during the week (each building has a few grills).
The best part was that, while the property was busy, it never felt crowded. We visited in July. A similar property in Florida would have been a zoo. I would go back to Kings Land again in a heartbeat!"
