Our booking window will open in another month and a half or so for our trip next year and trying to determine what HGVC Big Island property will be the best for us. (Understanding "best" is very subjective!) We are a family of 4 - 2 adults, 2 young teens. We've all been to Hawaii previously but kids have not been to the Big Island. We are owners at Bay Club but haven't been there since 2005 and, at least at that time, it was more secluded than other properties in Waikoloa. (Not sure if this is still the case?) Would you recommend Kings Land or Kohala Suites (and is the latter basically at Bay Club)? Read reviews on all (with Ocean Tower with the lowest reviews and the most recent ones were all very bad so eliminated that one!) We will be doing various trips during the day so not a lot of pool lounging etc but may do it for a bit each day. Would like to be closer to restaurant options and note some say these properties do not offer much. As I mentioned, we have not been to the Big Island in over 15 years so any information is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

How to Choose Which HGV on the Big Island of Hawaii is right for you
Hilton Grand Vacation has four wonderful properties in Waikoloa on the big island of Hawaii. But which one should you stay at? I created four criteria that I thought helped define the four Hilton Grand Vacations Properties so that you could choose which one was right for everyone. Below is...

For restaurants I think they're all similar. Kings Land (my favorite by far because of the pools) has a pool bar type place, but I would describe the food as uninspired at best. Assuming you have a car all are equally convenient to the various area options. Except Ocean Tower which has more on-site but is difficult/far to enter/leave as the parking isn't convenient.
