Hey you guys, meeting you in the pool at the Marriot and going up to Mauna Kea really made our trip!!! Thanks for inviting us to watch the sunset and the stars. So happy to meet you and pick your brains. Keep up the good work!!!! Absolutely LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Will let you know the second we cut the cord on the mainland. Cheers Tom and Liz
We just got back from Waikoloa. We went to Lava Lava twice. It was awesome! Loved it. We stayed at the Hilton. It was wonderful. The staff was so nice and the Makai tower ocean view room is completely worth it. Our view from our lanai was incredible. The location was perfect. We would definitely stay there again. The Queens Market and King shops were 3 min away and we walked a few times as well. We had a FABULOUS vacation! Great food, great hotel, and perfect weather. I prefer Waikoloa to Kona as far as weather and atmosphere. Kona has some very good restaurants and beautiful views. Waikoloa has perfect weather, beautiful views and beaches, shopping, and great food. But, let's be real, it's Hawaii, it's pretty awesome everywhere you go. 😊🌴🍹
Love the Lava Lava Beach Club, always our first stop when we come to the island. Best Mai Tais on the island!! Love watching the turtles on the beach behind the club and up the bay.
This video made my heart soar because I spent 10 days at the Marriott there. Great property and I was there at peak Pandemic with almost nobody there. I have a pic from every corner of the island except for Waipio as it was closed off. Green Flash? I got it! Southern Point? Got it. Milky Way from Mauna Kea? Got it. Missed Kilauea erupting by 2 days! Bummer! But - The good lord willing - I want to be there and or Waimea if just for the views. I dream of Waikaloa Resort! Loved it because Windward side to North like Waipio and Hilo - you must love rain. Kohala to Captain Cook must love Sun. This is paradise to me. Great Video!
Oh man, I miss Hawaii, so much!!! Stayed at the Hilton and in a condo in Waikoloa Village. We were able to see the ocean from our condo in the village. We spent a lot of time at A-Bay and Lava Lava. Went to Kings and Queens Shops, and we went to stargaze on Mauna Kea. Wish I could afford to be a full - or part-time resident. I love the Big Island so much!
Gypsea Gelato should make a killing at that new location. I loved when the Coconut Grove location was opened after stumbling upon the Kealakekua location a few visits before. Looking forward to gelato, Lava Lava and going to watch the sunset at MKVIS on our next visit. Mahalo
Your videos are getting better and better. This one of Waikoloa was great! We stay at Kohala Suites and love to explore all areas of this beautiful island. Our last trip we visited Spencer Beach Park and the King K's museum. Entertaining and informational. Thanks!
That was awesome. Thank you Julie and Eric. I was so excited to see that the Lava Lava Beach Club Restaurant has reopened. No I'm really anxious to get over there after 7ish years. And, no I don't think the restaurant was open then. God bless from Arizona.
The Marriot has been our go to hotel on the Big Island for the past 30 years ( I even got married there!)! First time we were there it was called The Royal Waikoloan. I love it 😍 But it has become so expensive for us not Americans that for the first time we will have a different hotel this year 😢.
Nice review. Very few shops are open at the new Waikoloa Plaza in the Village. Sunrises from Mauna Kea are much better than sunsets. What you missed were the beaches, like the world class Hapuna and of course the madasallas sold along Queen K Highway.
Appreciate this from locals. Big Island is the only island I have not been to. Coming here with wife and kid..we are already not sure if we'll be okay being "stuck" in resort land...we want some of that, but we also want some local culture.. fortunately we have some friends on the other side of the island, so we'll get over there at some point for sure.
hey you two the ..............walk along the old fishermans trail ( ala kahakai) from A Bay to the hilton as per your video ..... the next resort after the Hilton is not the Fairmont, its Hali'i Kai , then Mauna lani Resort homes, then the Mauna lani hotel , then way up is the Fairmont....
Hi, how is the snorkeling and opportunity to see sea turtles, fish and/or sea life close to the shore from the Waikoloa Marriott Beach Resort? Does the Marriott also have nice dining and views of sunsets in addition to the popular Lava Lava? Thanks for suggesting taking in the sunrises! Any additional suggestions about staying at Waikoloa? Thanks for your video tour!
Hi Mike! We have monthly meet ups..and try and get up to do a group meet up at the Visitors Center about 6 times a year. So, not a tour, but a meet up.

I'm heading to the Big Island next week. I've never been to this island. Your videos have been very helpful thank.

Love your videos, for a retired local it’s so expensive in Waikoloa food and hotel prices excluded.
💖Thanks for sharing this experience 👍171

@@365Hawaii looking forward to peaceful times, you are nice folks, thank you smiles
The resort area is about 10mins away from the village and about 7-8 miles down the road..
Wow :they didn’t know who we are: 😂. So who you are ,famous ,mayor,or?😂😂😂
I’m from Hawaii and I’ve never heard of this place. Pretty sure this place is in California.

Yes we do have a big Tiger shark that has bitten a few people there.
