"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. Another bonus was that this unit was stocked with lots of great supplies which made hanging at the beach...

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"verall, we had a really great experience. The room attendants were friendly and always greeted us with “Aloha” or “Good morning” whenever they saw us, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was cleaned daily and was always well maintained. The beach was beautiful and enjoyable, but I recommend bringing aqua shoes since there are small rocks along the shoreline that can be uncomfortable to walk on.."
