Housing reservation detail
Aloha everyone,
Linda and I are looking forward to seeing you soon in Hawaii!
We know you are making plans for the Feast in Hawaii, just as we are. We have heard from several of you with questions, especially those attending Hawaii for the first time. Currently, we have over 160 registered for Hawaii. We still have room for more if you know of friends who may still be undecided or may want to change their Feast plans to attend in Hawaii.
We are very excited to once again meet on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast this year at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort. All services and most of the activities will be on-property at the resort. The room rates we have negotiated are more than half off the current advertised rack rates! The activities schedule and reservations for catered meals will be coming out in June once details are finalized. You may stay up-to-date and see pictures from past Feasts in Hawaii at our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/cogwafotkohalacoast/.
Again, this year we have negotiated a contract with the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort that gives us complimentary meeting space for all our services and breakout activities, if we fill our reserved room block. This saves the Church more than $30,000 (in normal rental fees)! So, by staying at the resort you are making a sizeable donation to the Church. Mahalo!
We also understand there may be a few of you who need a kitchen to prepare food, or perhaps you have a large family gathering planned, and you may need a housing option off-property. There may be options available in the general area through private owners and agents.
We also have negotiated for a few self-parking spots at the resort that will be available for those of you staying off-property, at $20 per parking lot entry (in and out privileges not permitted). More information will be coming on this later.
Housing reservations for our room block at the Hilton open up this Sunday, May 18, as listed in our housing brochure. (FYI: On the link the $10 resort charge is added to the rate, which is regularly $44/day. RV will show $269+$10=$279.) If available, rooms may be reserved three nights before and after the Feast dates at our reduced rate. You may reserve rooms at the special link for our group:
https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/koahwhh-cog-14eb65d3-5846-4f7c-a811-f949e405b18e/
Or, you may call Hilton Waikoloa Village directly at 808-886-1234, ask for the reservations desk at the hotel, and ask for Karen. Identify yourself as attending with the “Church of God, a Worldwide Association, group.” Or, better yet, email [email protected], especially if you have questions about reserving a disabled persons room, special needs or a family suite at a reduced rate.
If you have not already volunteered to help serve in one or more of our volunteer opportunities, please do so ASAP in your COGWA portal. Mahalo!
If you have questions or comments, please contact us.
Warmest Alohas,

Site Description
Aloha! We will be returning to the Big Island of Hawaii for the Feast this year. Our host location for 2025 will once again be the four-star Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort, situated about 20 minutes north of the city of Kona and the international airport. We are expecting an attendance of 300-400.
The oceanfront resort is located on the world-famous Kohala Coast, on the west side of the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It’s on over 62 acres of lush tropical grounds that include a private beach and bay, four swimming pools, five restaurants, a fitness center, a spa, two championship golf courses, gardens and coastal hiking trials.
All of our services and most activities will be held at the Hilton, where we have reserved a large block of rooms at deeply discounted rates.
There is plenty to do and see on Hawaii’s Big Island. Sightseeing, shopping, fine dining, fishing, ocean water sports and beaches abound. The Volcanoes National Park and Hawaii’s famous stargazing opportunities are also highlights.
Organized activities will include a teen swim with dolphins, a young adult night excursion for a close-up experience with giant manta rays, a family sailing and snorkeling adventure on a private charter boat, a family beach party, and a best-ball golf tournament.
You will find plenty of helpful information and pictures on our Facebook page: COGWA FOT Kohala Coast. We look forward to seeing you on the Big Island for the Feast this year! Aloha!
