"This property is really in the heart of it all. Easy walking distance to beaches, shopping, groceries, restaurants, nightlife, and more. Being a corner unit with 2 lanais was a definite bonus. Lots of light and great ocean and city views. Dedicated parking spot was also a real luxury. The unit was very clean and Lia was helpful and responsive throughout the reservation and rental process.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I love this hotel, the view when checking-in is gorgeous, beach access is also a plus and you have a few pools to choose from. There’s a few restaurants walking distance if you’re not wanting to go to Waikīkī. My only complaint would be the parking fees which is ridiculously too pricey. I believe it should be a reasonable price especially since you’re staying there. "
