Hilton Waikoloa Village Hawaii?

Anybody have any suggestions for getting a good rate at
the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Hawaii? So far the cheapest
I've seen from Hilton is $199 a night for their basic room.

Thanks, Daniel

That's about as good as it gets unless you live in Hawaii and have Hawaii
I.D. - even then that's a good rate for that hotel. But, it's well worth it.

$199 sounds like their standard charge. Try the discount hotel and

I think their standard charge is more like $260.00. KM

and that's still for a pretty lousy dated room with a dinky bathroom,
shower/tub combo, miles away from the lobby...

Different strokes for different folks - I like it better than any hotel on
the Big Island, then again I don't care about the distance to the lobby and
would put the size of the bathroom on the bottom of the priority list. KM

we just returned from waikoloa yesterday.
it is a great area, but all upscale.
to my knowledge there is no discount
lodging there.

if you need more than one room, consider
renting a condo. it is more than the cost of
a single room at the hilton, but way less than
two rooms. and you save quite a bit on food
by using the kitchen.

be advised that there is currently some
construction going on between the outrigger
hotel and the vista waikoloa condos
creating substantial bulldozer noise during
weekdays. I don't believe you can hear it from
the hilton, however.

Incorrect. If you book through a tour company, your lodging (and
airfare) are less than the normal published rates. You can also
sometimes get additional discounts if you're a member of some
organization like AARP or AAA or over 55 or are a government civil
servant, etc. Last June, a friend of mine, who is an air traffic
controller (US civil servant), took his wife, two children and himself
to Hawaii staying at the Hilton Waikoloa. Booking the trip online
using the various discounts available to him (air miles, work, union,
etc.), he saved about 50 to 60% overall over individual published
rates. Plus, he was able to get a very nice 2 room suite for less than
a standard room, which I think normally goes for $250/day. Quite a
deal.
