  • Product Description

    Immerse yourself in a sophisticated island sanctuary at Ocean Tower, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, nestled inside the world-renowned 62-acre Hilton Waikoloa Village resort on the sun-drenched Kohala Coast. Engineered for solo travelers, couples, or digital nomads seeking an efficient yet upscale home base on the Big Island, the Studio Resort View (STD) suite layout offers modern, streamlined comfort without compromising on access. Surrounded by swaying palms, cascading waterfalls, and pristine tropical landscaping, this cozy studio keeps you connected to the vibrant energy of the resort while providing a peaceful, air-conditioned retreat to recharge between island adventures.

Unwind in your beautifully designed open-concept layout featuring a plush king-size bed, sleek contemporary furnishings, and an integrated smart media streaming setup. After a day of exploring local lava fields or relaxing by one of the resort's magnificent pools, return to your suite to brew a fresh cup of Kona coffee or prepare light snacks in the convenient, thoughtfully equipped kitchenette.

Our stay at the Hilton tower was convenient! We were on the ground level which was great ! My grand daughter was able to step outside, run around and doing cartwheels! We could see her the whole time! Spent most of our time in the pool , by the big slide! Another Grandparents, Grand daughter’s time together!

Beautiful resort. Great location. Both the tram and the boats (which haven't ran in years) were not operating for 90% of our stay due to a recent tram accident. (We were told by the VRBO host that the boats were running. ??) Thankfully we are very capable of walking long distances without any issues. But this may not be the case for everyone. The Ocean Tower is a good hike from the main lobby. The room was great. Quiet. Minimum interaction with the staff. Check-in was easy. Parking is very pendy.

Awesome resort

We stayed here when the original resort ran out of rooms and we had a conference to attend here. It worked out perfectly! The resort is huge and we got lots of steps in exploring all the different areas. Our room (2055) located on the main level of ocean tower was awesome, complete with kitchenette, balcony overlooking the golf course and ocean, eating area and couch and all newly renovated. We hope to come back!

This unit exceeded my expectations - the unit's design was aesthetically pleasing and very practical for a comfortable stay. The owner of this unit also did a fantastic job communicating regularly with me ahead of my stay so I knew what to expect.
