Where else are you staying??
We're doing a different take on the BI. We are flying into Kona, spending 4 nts at the HWV, then driving south to the volcano stuff, ending up in Hilo for one night at the Doubletree. Next morning doing stuff near Hilo, then heading back across to the Kona area and staying at the Courtyard before flying out the next morning.
I personally would not spend one night at a big resort - you really don't have time to enjoy the facilities, and the logistics of just getting settled in often do take a while. So I'd spend 2 at EITHER the HWV or the HHV. Again, for me it would depend on what the other hotels are.
