We vacationed in 10-11/2021 and appreciated having plenty of space/ no crowds in the midst of the pandemic. Please note the official pool rules don’t allow water toys. Not sure if it was the pandemic or the time of the year but over half of the times we were the only ones in the pool anyway so in the end, we had a blast. If you have little ones, want to stay put in Waikoloa area and have no wagon to pull them around, do get a rental car- the walking distances to Marriott beach and the market are somewhat inconvenient. The check in/ out and checking on us messages came in conveniently. I’m not keen on vacationing in the same destination twice but if I were to return, I’d rent this place again in a heartbeat.
