Although the cabinets are a little outdated, I have not been able to find a equivalent timeshare in Hawaii that has the kind of space that the Bay Club has. You can survive with just using the trolley, but if you wanted to go to the nearest supermarket or Costco, you definitely should rent a car. There's ample parking (free!) and the staff is very pleasant. I will definitely return back to the Bay Club and so will my other family members.

Up and Coming Facility
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/18/09
Active plans will vastly improve the facility. However, don't plan on playing on the adjacent golf courses as you receive no break on the expensive green fees. If you belong to Hilton's vacation plan you receive a little help but not much. Plan to play on courses other than the Kings and Beach courses at Waikoloa

They have given up.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/26/07
We traded with RCI for this unit. We traded two weeks of Crown Emerald status for one week of Gold status (we were not aware that it was Gold status, we thought it was Emerald) and were very disappointed with the place in general. The kitchen was dirty eg, the cabinets greasy. The bathroom was also dirty, the tub had a ring around it and the ...
This is a great resort! Friendly staff, great facility, I love it. It is in a resort community so everything is expensive and the activities outside of the resort are all in Kona or Hilo. Things are cheaper down there too.
We are Hilton Grand Vacation Club owners. The two bedroom/two bathroom groundfloor unit we occupied during Christmas 2006 was spacious enough for 3 adults and 2 children and full of amenities like a washer/dryer and full kitchen. The concierge's dilligence made our stay entertaining and her great driving directions made the apparent isolation ...

I look forward to every visit!

I am an owner at the Bay Club in Waikoloa and have been since 1996. My husband and I stumbled upon it when our travel agent mistakenly booked us into it without realizing it was a time share. We bought a share and have never looked back. Now divorced, my ex and I decided to keep the timeshare and now we alternate years. Both of us love it and are ...

Picture Perfect

The Bay Club was beautiful to see w/lush greenery and palm trees all around. We stayed a week and loved it. Our room? Not quite 5 stars but very nice overlooking the golf course w/mountains in the background. The pools? Kinda small but like the rest of the island not crowded at all. The resturants on the resort? Very expensive, but this is Hawaii!! ...
Overall a good timeshare. We're owners with Hilton Grand Vacation Club, which manages the resort. They're building their own right next door, and people staying at the Bay Club have use of the pools at the HGVC resort, but NOT use of the Hilton facilities down the road (you do if you stay at the HVGC resort). We stayed in one of the 2BR ...

Everything You Need
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/05/06
We read reviews prior to booking, so had anticipated average décor, amenities, etc. Overall the resort exceeded our expectations, I only wish it was within walking distance to the beech. The room was great, very spacious (fit 6 adults comfortably). View of the golf course was good, as was being near the pools and BBQ. We BBQ’d for most meals and ...
