"Always love this hotel and beach. Breakfast buffet was delicious (big thank you to the hostesses and wait staff for their kind service each day) and Meredia was spectacular. Sunsets are not to be skipped, especially from the Meredia walkway, bar and restaurant. Love that Kayla in the Meredia bar remembered us from the last 2 years. Bummed that the piano was removed from the Meredia but found the piano player up in Piko with a portable piano. The other musicians he set up to play were fabulous as well. Room was clean and very comfortable. Love the adult pool. Will return. "
"My family and I stayed here for five nights and were pleasantly surprised to arrive to an upgraded room! Ren at the front desk was amazing and sent up some fruit for our arrival and was kind enough to gift two stuffed turtles for my two sons, she truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay started off right! The property was perfect for my family, lots of space for my four-year-old son to run around, the lagoon was essential, and the pool was always clean. We went during a week that wasn’t too busy so there was no issues finding lounge chairs ever, and we also booked a few daybeds during our stay, which were nice. The staff was always helpful and nice, and it was especially nice to have self-serve laundry on site. We’ll definitely be back!"
"This was a wonderful stay. We are a family of 5 (3 teens) and we had so much space within our elegant room. I loved having two bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, etc. The resort was friendly, the pools were beautiful, and we had FULL access to other Hilton properties in the area which we did take advantage of, although I must say I ultimately was grateful for the quiet of our resort and how we didn’t need a tram to access things. In fact, a perk I didn’t realize I liked so much was being able to park the rental car so close to the room. Because we spent many of our days driving around the island (to Hawaii Volcanoes NP, South Island for an ATV tour, North area go access Hilo for. Cacao farm), it was nice to just walk out and get in the car… not having to retrieve the car from a distant parking lot or valet. We had goats visiting outside of room, a beautiful view of Mauna Kea, and the most beautifully kept grounds in general. Mahalo for an amazing stay. "
