Hilton Waikoloa

Showing up to the Hilton Waikoloa was like hitting the jackpot.  The hotel was amazing and beyond any expectations.  The kids eyes just lit up.

The lagoon at the hotel. Fish, eels and turtles could be seen as you walked by or snorkeling

Our room was right near the dolphin encounter and we could see them from our room

hole in bridge

It was fun going across the bridge with strangers, we would make it swing and rock and catch them off guard

Where coral meets lava

The hotel was loaded with Pokémon, Jesse and kids were always searching

 Telling stories under the stars

 A boat would take you throughout the resort and if that wasn't good enough there was a train too!

Chillin on the grounds

 Hailey floating in her happy place

 The Fishbowl,  The kids went inside with a little water and it would spin.  It simulates going down a 1/2 mile long waterslide but you can do whatever crazy thing you like inside

 Waterfalls everywhere

 The kids self made slide, it worked really well

 The Jacuzzi was in a cave, my go-to spot

matching DNA?

 Out front of the hotel we snorkeled in some pretty crazy spots 

 I love that Hailey is game for snorkeling way out in the open ocean.  To get out, we would be clearing coral and sea urchins with only inches to spare and she just motored along

The black lava rocks made the water so warm
