Hilton Waikoloa Lagoon

This private lagoon is fed by the ocean and is a protected sanctuary for tropical fish and rare green sea turtles. For guests it's a water oasis paradise - with white sands for sunbathing and the salt-water lagoon for snorkeling and swimming. If you're not staying at the hotel, you can book a resort pass to bask in this tropical haven.
