We booked a stay with a suite with two beds in the bedroom and a pull-out couch. We did this because one of our kids has serious problems sleeping in a...

    Waikoloa Sales Pitch

    I vacationed at the Waikoloa Vacation Club recently. I love the renovations and the hotel. However, I made the very stupid mistake to accept the MVC sales pitch. They offered 25K reward points or $150 in discounts to some local shops. I chose the $150. I’ve been to maybe 8 or 9 sales...

    [ 2017 ] Help me pick my Waikoloa location

    We are planning to visit HGVC Waikoloa in June as part of their intro package. Our plan is to visit in mid June, 2018 and stay in a 2 bedroom unit. It looks like there are several buildings on site and I'm wondering which I should request? We're not golfers, and more interested in having a...
