Exceptional Service at Hilton Waikoloa Village – Freda & Esther Truly Exemplify Hilton Hospitality
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village in December 2025 as a family of eight and as Hilton Diamond members, and our experience was elevated by two exceptional team members: Freda at the Front Desk and Esther, a hostess at Nui Restaurant.
Freda – Front Desk (Palace Tower Check-In)
From the moment we arrived, Freda delivered an outstanding check-in experience. Without us needing to explain every detail, she immediately understood our needs as a large, multi-generation family and proactively arranged two connecting rooms (Suite + King) in the Palace Tower. The configuration was ideal for our group, and her handling of the upgrade was seamless and professional.
Freda also took the time to clearly explain available amenities and options across the resort, which helped us maximize the value and enjoyment of our stay. Beyond operational excellence, what truly distinguished her was her genuine care and warmth. She made us feel welcomed, valued, and personally looked after—far beyond a standard front-desk interaction. Freda represents the very best of Hilton hospitality.
Esther – Nui Restaurant (Hostess)
At Nui Restaurant, Esther demonstrated extraordinary attentiveness and compassion. One evening, after a long day returning from Hilo, our three-year-old daughter fell asleep before dinner. Without being asked, Esther thoughtfully created a safe, makeshift crib using napkins, two chairs, and blankets so our child could sleep comfortably.
This simple but deeply caring gesture allowed our daughter to rest peacefully while the rest of the family enjoyed our meal. Esther turned what could have been a difficult moment into a beautiful family memory. Her creativity and empathy exemplify what true hospitality looks like in practice.
Final Thoughts
Both Freda and Esther went well beyond their job descriptions. They didn’t just provide service—they created comfort, trust, and lasting memories for our family. Hilton Waikoloa Village is fortunate to have team members of this caliber, and they deserve recognition for consistently delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Highly recommended for families—and sincere thanks to Freda and Esther for making our stay unforgettable.
