This Christmas and New Years will be different than many in the past years. In past years, Hualalai Resort was the only resort that there holiday offerings were exclusive to guests stay at that resort. This year other resorts such as the Mauna Lani Resort will have the same policy in place. This will make the few offerings available to vacation rental guests a lot less than prior years and they are sure to book up so we recommend reserving something well in advance. The great news is all of these offerings are a short walk away from your Waikoloa vacation rental.
Christmas Offerings
Hilton Waikoloa
The Hilton Waikoloa definitely does a great job at being the best decorated hotel on the island. Make sure to stop by and check out all the beautiful decorations in the hotel lobby!
All of the restaurants at the Hilton Waikoloa will be open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and offer limited options of their standard menus as well as holiday offerings. All of these typically book up well in advance.
They will have a specialty Christmas Day luau from 5:30-8:15pm. The rates are $240 for an adult and $124 for children. Guests enjoying the luau will enjoy a traditional luau culminating with a fire dancer. There also is an open bar with a buffet of some traditional Hawaiian dishes as well as some Christmas dinner favorites. This is also very popular so if you do choose to go to the luau you will want to show up early to avoid waiting in line. For larger luaus like this, we recommend taking advantage of the Alii seating, which is $30/person more.
