Creator's Key Takeaways

the hilton waikaloa opened actually as the hyatt regency waikaloa in 1988 and was one of the largest hotel openings of all time

you can book the hilton michalo with points uh nights start at 60 000 points a night which is a pretty good deal

the grounds while older were just absolutely beautiful and the whole hotel wraps around this bay that just is gorgeous

the rooms were a little bit of a disappointment here

Use Hilton points to book and avoid resort fees if you have status
Book a room in the Makai Tower for easier access to the main pool
