Unwind and Get Pampered

If your ideal vacation includes a dose of tranquility, Kings’ Land, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club on Hawaii’s Big Island offers the perfect escape. The scenic shoreline of the Kohala Coast, with views of the majestic Mauna Kea, makes it a haven for rest and rejuvenation.

Golf lovers will appreciate the proximity to three scenic 9-hole golf courses, where you can play surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery.

In San Antonio, relaxation awaits in the peaceful suburbs of the city. Those looking for a soothing stay and a touch of indulgence will love the world-class spa facilities at the Éilan Hotel & Spa. The resort has been fully remodeled, including the transformation of its main restaurant, The Social at Éilan (formerly Sustenio). Chef Adrian Linares, who brings a rich blend of Southern California, Mexican and Texas barbecue flavors to the table, has created a menu full of comfort foods, alongside a cocktail and wine menu emphasizing Texas-produced spirits.
