Has anyone been Hilton Waikola Village? What do you think of the place? Also, are there any unexpected fees that you got hit with? ( this happened to me the last time we went to Hawaii)

Book a VRBO next door in the Waikola village. Cheaper and it was really nice. Walked to the Hilton a few mornings for coffee. I don’t enjoy sitting at a resort- so we were off exploring most days not sitting by the pool.

Stayed there about 8 years ago and it was nice.

I stayed there about ten years ago - it was already dated back then. Great access to the beach and generally clean - but there is nothing special about it. All resorts tend to have some fees that don't make sense and I generally just take it in my stride to not let it take away from the mood of the vacation

We did our honeymoon there. It’s a HUGE resort. The food onsite is very very mediocre - think frozen mixed fruit cups for $15 (you’re on a tropical island and can’t even get fresh fruit? Come on mang…) and Costco avocado packets on your avocado toast.

I would recommend you pay a premium and go to Mauna Lani. It is more expensive but a great experience.

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.
