Thanks for posting this video. It definitely would have been nice if Hilton allowed you to see one of the renovated rooms. I’ll be visiting the property in March for a timeshare promo (I have no interest in buying a timeshare). It’s too bad this building’s interior does not match the immaculate grounds.
Jamal, thank you so much for your comment! I would call to confirm you'll be in the updated part of the building. I believe they will put you in that area anyways since it's a timeshare promo. When we passed by those rooms, they looked STUNNING. Any other hotel requests for us to film? We live in Hawaii and would love our viewers to let us know what they want to see 👀 🤙🌺
We'll also be there in March on a freebie trip since Diamond was purchased by Hilton. We use our timeshare the way it was intended now that we are retired. Have yet to have a bad experience in over 20 years of timeshare ownership. Yes, they seem expensive up front but if you manage the ownership properly it can be a bargain. Our credit card points pay for more than half of our maintenance costs.
Just stayed here… Palace Tower. Booked one of the promotions through Hawaiian Airlines, so we had to attend the timeshare presentation. Interesting sales pitch, but not really our style of vacationing. Considering we were primarily visiting the Big Island to play golf, the size of the property was very inconvenient. Nice amenities, but probably won’t stay here again. We visit the Big Island about once per year.
I totally agree, John! There are so many ways to vacation, and this was a nice way to do it- but it's not our favorite style either. We'll post the Makao (Ocean) tower in a week! Please stop by and take a look! Mahalo 🤙
Unfortunately, no. There were mostly water slides. They were completing construction on the main pool when we visited, so there may be a chance that they are going to try to add a lazy river in the future. Thanks for commenting! 🤙
Great question! This hotel complex is MASSIVE and certainly is waterfront. We have two other videos that show the ocean: 1. This is Makai Tower review (our preferred tower): ruclips.net/video/GR9dSSNtX5A/видео.htmlsi=yCynDSvTqXQz16vy 2. This is a walking tour with some more ocean views around the complex: ruclips.net/video/GZNJBkWEP60/видео.htmlsi=5dmeasl4uUKB6IbO. There is a ton to see and experience at this resort, we certainly recommend it! Happy travels ✨️ 🤙
Beautiful footage and music. My wife and I visited over 7 times during Ironman week. It's our Disneyland.
@jamesromero3282 Thank you so much for your kind words! This is our kind of Disneyland, too 😂 happy travels 🤙✨️

i was actually one of the first ones to stay in the renovated timeshare wing. the new rooms are very nice.
@@vettedsin how were they? We just booked to go in October, and I am very nervous about it because everyone is complaining about the rooms.

Enjoy your trip on the island!! 🤙

Were any of the pools lazy rivers?

how was the food?
@adinubila from what I remember - it was really good! There are plenty of options throughout the whole resort. Happy travels 🤙✨️
Was there a beach area to access? How was it?

Buildings look dated.
@jd7313 😆 They certainly were, and many rooms have been updated more recently.
