I have lived in Hawaii (oahu) and came for work in Kona and Hilo. My family came and we have not stayed in the Waikoloa resort area before. This is a great place for price. We had 3 of 4 kids and my wife and I, plenty of room. Very quiet. The pool area and resort are nice and calm, ages skew a little older but there were some kids to play with. Very walkable. Region is very resort oriented and plenty of food and shopping. Some local excursions as well so you do not have to go to Kona all the time. If you want to the have a full resort pool, you can use a day pass at the hilton for water slides and everything else. but for the 2 rooms I would get a hilton or marriott, I would pay over $2300 a night. This was much less with kitchen to save on food Great place. S and D are very clear hosts.
