It's definitely not my favorite on the Big Island. Honestly they could have done a lot more to make it nicer during the renovation and some of it was pretty sloppy work. Howecer, if you're on a budget or really want to stay in Kona, it's a solid option. I don't hate it at all, I just thought the remodel would be better!

@@radar_x50 I completely agree!

@@nicholeoliver3213 you’re welcome!

@@artvandalay-cs2nz sure, close enough anyway. What would you consider them?

@@twotravelgeeks hurumph

Fun! Did you ride the Hogwarts Express both ways?

@@twotravelgeeks yeah I like the butter beer

@@VisitLiveLoveMaui it’s a beautiful resort!

@@jpmerrick8886 this is an older video. I’m hoping they do some work on it.

@@Atrain11221 they do not, you have to get out and right into the main pool. But they do have pool butlers that bring drinks. Happy to help if you’re planning to book the Zilara, amy@amyfillinger.com

@@JanetJenkins that’s so annoying!! I hope it fit in your bag. I find it truly varies on who you see. I’ve worn hip bags several times and now one has said anything, but occasionally they will and I just put it in my bag. OR I just have a sweater over it 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Most of the time they tell me USD is preferred

@@twotravelgeeks Thank you very much!

@@josephhutchison6388 you’re very welcome!

@@joycelynbradford1780 you’re welcome! I hope it helped

@@joycelynbradford1780 I hope it was helpful! Have fun in Cancun.

@@Soulspeak24 some of the studios do not have AC. They are closer to the restaurant, on the “upper” side of the resort. Are you able to cancel? If AC is important you may want to make sure you have it or get a bungalow. I’m happy to help! This is a property/location where it’s nice to have the help of a travel agent amy@amyfillinger.com if you’d like to email me. It’s a beautiful place to stay regardless!!

@@twotravelgeeks thank you for the insight! No, I cannot cancel. I guess we’ll just have to see if we can handle it if there’s no AC.

@@Soulspeak24 some of them do have it. If not, the weather is great so you may not need it.

@@JacquelineC-e7q you’re welcomed I think it will be just fine! I would stay during renovations, it seems like it won’t be too much of a hassle. Let me know if you have any Big Island questions!

It definitely depends on the rate you can get. I've seen club rates that weren't that much higher and in that case, it's so worth it for all that you get. I don't think I could justify double either!

@@JosephPace-s9b oh Zilara hands down!! I like Secrets but the Zilara is better. The service is hard to beat. Shoot me an email if you have questions, I’d love to help you book it and I can put in any special requests you need, etc. amy@amyfillinger.com

Thank you! Honestly, it's just the decor that is different. Otherwise they are the same size/same location/etc. So it's really what you prefer as far as decor goes. If you haven't booked yet, let me know! I'd be happy to help you out and request one of the rooms for you if that's what you're looking for. amy@amyfillinger.com The other updated room is 137. I have an older video on it, but I need to re-do it!

@@twotravelgeeks is that outside area with the loungers for all 3 renovated rooms or does each room have its own loungers?

@@howsweet3 each has it's own loungers or chairs, but then there are some "common area" loungers that all 3 basically share. I've never seen anyone use them, but they are available.

@@CobraCai02 you’re welcome! Let me know if you need any help booking and I’ll make sure to request the best rooms, etc 😊

@@Aiderak oceanfront are higher up so yes. It’s a bit more complicated but what you said is close. I also like the private balconies which I can request for clients so you have privacy no matter what level. I’d love to help you book it! I can answer all your questions and help you look at other options. HTTPS://amyfillinger.com/contact or amy@amyfillinger.com

@@chompchomp2323 yes that’s the complicated part and what most people ask to see. If you’d like a video on packing them, let me know.

I'm glad it helped!! It's not 100% comfortable but it does work!! You're very welcome.

@@Sacgirl03 yes, this! The size is also a factor for me since it’s not maximizing your carry-on allowance.

@@Sacgirl03 I think I did explain in the video but if not, because I pack with only a carry-on and like to maximize my carry on allowance. This bag is much smaller than the max for a carry-on, so that’s the only reason! Otherwise I like the bag, just not for that purpose. I use mine as a gym bag :)

@@cindyo.4440 you’re welcome! I’m glad it helped.

Probably, but you'd need to measure it and see if it fits within their sizing guidelines. Here's a link! help.virginatlantic.com/us/en/baggage/hand-baggage.html

@@brysonanthamatten2205 yes! That’s correct. You can pool hop at any resort other than Endless Summer. You can ride the water taxis even if you aren’t staying, no one really asks!

@@twotravelgeeks honestly I don’t understand why anyone would want to swim at endless summer anyway.

@@brysonanthamatten2205 definitely not the level of the other universal pools!! You get what you pay for, for sure!

@@snowmiaow I plan to make more videos like this with the best carry on luggage. This is an older video and quality has improved over the years. Still, you don’t have to be rude. 😒

@@twotravelgeeks What part was rude?

@@snowmiaow It comes across as rude when you TELL someone what to do vs. asking nicely. Perhaps not the intention but it's always good to remember that you're talking to a real person when you comment online. Regardless, more videos are on the way with the best carry-on luggage as I have been trying a few different things lately and have found a few that I really like!

@@twotravelgeeks Oh brother! You made a video. I watch lots of videos. I was giving you corrective criticism, to help you make the next one.

@@sjgavenger37 so why are you commenting on Universal videos? 🤦🏻‍♀️ We’re annual passholders and love it. If you don’t like it that’s fine, but why actively seek out videos about it? That’s weird. 😂

These is fully private and does not lead to a larger pool. Feel free to email me if you have questions or need any help booking! This is one of my favorite resorts amy@amyfillinger.com

You are going to love it!!!

You are going to have so much fun! It's a great resort.

Probably this one! It depends on what all you want out of it but this one is so good. Let me know if you need any help, I’d love to help you decide! Amy@amyfillinger.com

Definitely not all private. Most are not! Some on the 2nd and most on the 6th, yes. Feel free to email me if you need help booking, I can put in a request for you to get a specific room or floor (all clients have gotten their requests so far!) amy@amyfillinger.com

that's a great deal!

They do not directly connect, but you just hop out of the swim-ups and into the bigger pool. So it’s not far, but no direct connection, no. I’m happy to help if you’re looking to book this hotel! Amy@amyfillinger.com

@@twotravelgeeks Thanks Amy. I'll email you about what I'm looking to do. Thanks

@@chatanp sounds good! Happy to help.
