Here's a link to our photos from our HGVC Kings' Land stay - http://www.flickr.com/photos/40089311@N05/sets/72157634257790374/show/with/9102904779/
Earlier this month, we stayed in a two bedroom plus unit in Phase 1 at HGVC Kings' Land on Big Island via a RCI exchange using WorldMark.
It was our first stay in the Waikoloa area on the Big Island. I was initially disappointed having come from the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas North in Maui. Our HGVC villa just seemed so small in comparison and I was annoyed with the lack of a privacy between the master bedroom and master bathroom but the villa and resort eventually grew on me before the end of our stay. We truly enjoyed the pools at Kings' Land. We also loved the fact that they have an adults only area and several hot tubs spread throughout the main pool area. The other big bonus was the pools and lagoon at the Hilton hotel. See my other thread for photos of the Hilton hotel lagoon and main pool - http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194066
We had a problem with our initial villa at Kings Land (room 1203). The air conditioning wasn't cooling and they couldn't fix it until Tuesday. Thankfully the bedrooms had ceiling fans which kept everyone comfortable during our first night. We eventually moved rooms the next day. Our next villa (room 1207) had a very strange odor from one of the two sinks in the master bathroom. Since I didn't want to move again (or complain again), we simply put up with the odor.
There was also a serious problem with bird poop found all over the woven chairs at the pool bar/bistro area. After walking around the pool bar area searching for a clean set of (poop-free) chairs, we gave up and covered our chairs with our pool towels before sitting down and ordering drinks. After we were done with our drinks, we simply exchanged our towels for new ones before we returned back to the pool.
