Hi Folks,
Wife and I have been regular visitors to the HGVC in Oahu for 16 year now, but have never been to the Ocean tower in Waikoloa, so we have some newbie questions!
1) Any Nearby Public Parking Options?
At the HHV in Waikiki, we have avoid the on-site parking fee of around $40/day by using public parking at the adjacent marina.
The HWV in Waikoloa also has an overnight parking fee of $39, which we find "unatractive" - is there any public parking, or cheaper parking option, within a reasonable distance?
2) Is the parking fee purely for overnight? An email we received from the property stated that the parking fee is only for overnight parking, so it can be avoided by having a day rental?
3) Is a car needed anyway?
Google maps says the Kings shops are 15 min walk away, and Queens 18 min. With that and a shuttle to/from the airport, is a rental car needed?
4) Check in location
The property advised me that checkin is at the Ocean tower itself, but some previous posts on here seem to indicate that one has to go to the hotel section first, and then transfer? So shuttle/car can't go to Ocean Tower direct?
Thanks in advance for your input!
