Hawaii

We went on a trip to Hawaii over Christmas for Diary Queen a few years ago and it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. We saw some history by visiting Pearl Harbor and some nature by visiting the active volcano on the big island but for the most part we just enjoyed the beaches and our amazing resort. This was like an amusement park hotel. They had a dolphin show, a boat ride, and a train to take you to other parts of the hotel. There was a movie theater and tons of beautiful pools a...

The first full day

Jet lag, no matter what miracle cure there is, will still beat you up. Our neighbor woke us up at 4:30 local time and we could not fall back to sleep. Argh. The old school rooms in the Rainbow tower are not that sound proof. I hope he enjoyed his phone call. It took a while but we finally decided to just get up and try to make something of the day. All I can say is we got to see the sunrise. There is not really that much to do here. All the normal people sleep to normal hours. But we did find...

Another wonderful day relaxing

It was an absolutely wonderful day in the sun. Perfect weather. A couple passing clouds early in the morning and then sun, sun and more sun. It was a great day to be Hawaii. It looks like it is really cold back home. We slathered on the sunscreen and then spent most of the day on the beach and by the pool chillin' or should I say relaxing since we were not cold :) The most exciting thing we did before leaving the beach was eat lunch. The next is that I finished book number one. Around 3:30 we...

Around Oahu

Big day today. We had our tour of the whole island. We booked through Discover Hawaii tours and took the circle island/Pearl Harbor tour. It was a forced early start. Somehow waking up and having to not be anywhere is less exhausting than getting up and then having to be somewhere. Why is that? Our first stop of the day was Pearl Harbor. There they have the Arizona Memorial, the Bowfin submarine and the recently decommissioned USS Missouri. We only did the trip out to the Arizona Memorial. Th...

Another beach day

This was meant to be another day lounging around the pool and beach. We started the day that way and used whole morning relaxing. The our adventure began. We went to lunch at the China Buffet across the street. Oh My. The food there was a bit on the not so great side. OK a lot on the bad side. We did fill up on the donut holes, which looked strongly like the ones we saw at Foodland the other day. Then we decided to adventure to downtown Waikiki to look for some souvenirs. Well we found a lot ...

A couple great days

We have had acouple great days of just sitting about the pool and beach doing puzzles and reading books and listening to our iPods. It was some of the best relaxation we have had in a long time. We really just dropped out and enjoyed doing nothing. It was great. Now if there were just something to say that we did.... Seriously. The weather could not have been more perfect for us each day. We woke up to around 70 degrees and the temperature heated up to about 80 with just a few clouds during t...

the last day and trip home

It finally arrived. Our last day in Hawaii. We were actually bummed that we had to go back. Well to occupy our time we went on the timeshare demonstration. It turned out that the deal is on the up and up and we have decided to go forward with a purchase. We are actually quite excited about the possibilities that it will offer us for future vacations. But that presentation took up the whole morning, which maybe was a good thing. Our skin was looking like it did not need much more sun :) The ti...

Pearl Harbor

"No Memory Card". Three words that no traveler wants to see when they arrive at a once-in-a-lifetime attraction like Pearl Harbor, but that's what I saw on my screen when I powered on my camera this morning. Sure enough, I had left my card in my PC back at the hotel! But of course, that is why every souvenir shop stocks low-grade, overpriced SD cards and the USS Arizona Memorial gift shop now has one less in stock. For those who have never been to Pearl Harbor, there are several attractions w...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Hilton Hawaiian Village Honolulu

Hilton Hawaiian is so so

from Patmc

The Hilton is nice but considering the cost of the room they have a tendency of nickeling and dimeing you to death. Affordable eateries where close by so you were not stuck with the high cost of meals. A cup of tea for $2.95 is a bit much. We stayed in the tapa tower which did give us a view of the ocean. It didn't help that they separated our children by half a floor and was not able to put us together until 3 days into our stay. This was a great inconvience and then on our last morning the bathroom above us clogged and so we were asked to leave our room to open up the wall and remove the clog. The plumbers were very nice but we were still asked to leave the room for a good part of our last day and other than a breakfast on them it really threw off our last day.

Rainbow Towers

from Zazzo

Loved the hotel and the staff. Had a upper floor room in the Rainbow Tower. We would walk out on our balcony and Diamond Head was right in front of us. The beach was to our right, you could not ask for a nicer view. Hotel is very big and nothing is for free. Be prepared to pay for everthing. I think if they could they would charge you for each piece of TP we used. Worry about the cost when you get home. Spend and be prepared to see beautiful sights and get caught up in Hawaii. You will know what I am talking about when you get there. Best place on earth and cant wait to go back.

Loved HGVC-Lagoon Tower

from avvharris

Our family, including children age 6 and 8, spend Thanksgiving and the first week of December at the Hilton Hawaiin Village. As with other HGVC properties we were amazed at the property and the service. The pools were great and the daily activities were fun for the kids. The concierge staff was awesome. They were helpful with site seeing and always had preprinted driving directions. This was the best family vacation we've ever had-our best advice: rent a car and get out of Waikiki. We loved the North Shore, Haleiwa, Hanauma Bay, and shave ice at Matusmoto's General Store.

Not as good as I expected!

from A TripAdvisor Member

I expected much much more from this hotel. The grounds were very nice and I really liked how close it was to the beach but that�s about all I liked about it. We thought we booked a room on the ocean, that�s what the person that made the reservation said we would have, but when we got there they gave us a room facing the island in the tower farthest from the beach. We had to argue with them for quite some time to get a room where you could even see the ocean, it was an ok view but I wanted much more, and I expected more for what I paid. When we arrived at the hotel I was very surprised on how nice it looked, but the line for check in was over a half-hour long. Once we got checked in it was quite hard to find the room, the people at the desk steered us the wrong way. When we got to our room we were very disappointed it was a smoking room when we asked for non-smoking, and there was only one king size bed when we asked for two beds. That wasn�t the only problem. The mini fridge was leaking so the carpet was wet and discolored in front of it, the shower curtain had mold on it and the glass had handprints. We were so disappointed with the hotel at this point that we were thinking about going down the beach to a better place. I was able to get over the room and the next morning I went to the pool and I could not find a chair anywhere it was way to crowded, and when I finally got a chair I could not find any place to get a towel. After I figured out what to do I went in the water and it was quite cold. Overall I would say look into a different hotel on Wikiki

Beautiful Hotel

from A TripAdvisor Member

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Location is great, right on the ocean, and only a couple blocks from Waikiki Beach. Staff are extremely curteous and helpful. LOVED our stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

DiamondHead Tower stay

from A TripAdvisor Member

Excellent place to stay. No rental car is really needed if you dont want to do your own exploring, you can get a shuttle from the airport, and many shops and malls are in walking distance (parking fee of $11/day at hotel - ouch!). You can book tours right at the village, and will be picked up/dropped off right at the hotel. Many breath taking landscapes within the village which makes for great pictures. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

From the 1960's till 2000 and so forth

from A TripAdvisor Member

First stayed at the Hilton in the 1960;s when I worked for American Airlines. It was and still is the best hotel I have ever stayed. The service, atmosphere, are all still first rate. When I returned I can tell you how happy I was to find some changes, but still as great as I had remembered. (thank God) after all the bragging I did about this hotel to my husband.

Alii Tower is great

from A TripAdvisor Member

When staying at the Hilton, I would recommend to stay at the Alii Tower. It is the most luxurious tower but not the most expensive (which is strange). It is also right on the beach. The village itself is great. I dont have any negative comments regarding this hotel.

Hilton Hawaiian Village

from A TripAdvisor Member

While our stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village was pleasant, we would probably choose another hotel on our next visit. The hotel is located at the westernmost side of the strip but is no less crowded than the beaches in more prime locations. Our oceanfront room upgrade looked out over a parking garage with the beach quite a ways off in the distance. The room was very clean with newer decor but not at all luxurious. The hotel also appeared to cater primarily to families. The food seemed a bit overpriced relative to restaurants in comparable hotels. In fact, we usually found ourselves dining at Dukes in Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach and loved the Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian.

The Royal Hawaiian and the Sheraton certainly offer the most charm of any Waikiki Hotel while the Halekulani seemed a bit sterile. In next tier down, I would choose Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach over the Hilton Hawaiian Village and would consider going even cheaper--all the beaches are public anyway.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Rainbow Tower

from A TripAdvisor Member

I had a great time staying at this tower. We had an ocean view room on 24th floor (I think it goes up to 31st floor), and the view was so awesome that I'll never forget. From lanai(balcony) I could see a little bit of city and mountain side, Diamond Head, beach in front of the hotel and mostly beautiful, blue ocean and sky. Just having that view was worth staying there (I thought). My friend, who was with her two year old son, thought the hotel was great because it is really like a village, that has everything inside (even ups), and also there were birds and fish everywhere to entertain her baby. As a result, her son was really well-behaved even in the restaurant (distracted by birds). The room wasn't spacious, but it was comfortable enough to walk around. It was very clean and new that I couldn't really find a sign of "oldest tower in the village". Now one of the things I didn't like about this hotel was that nothing came free on minibar (bottles of water, coffee, tea), and they were so, so, expensive!! I had coffee everyday, but I didn't touch anything else. A tiny, palm size bottle of water was $2.50! I put them away so that 2 year old won't open them up too. As there was a small refridge next to mini bar, we just bought water and milk from a store and kept them there. Another thing I was annoyed a bit was that their water pressure is low. They claim that it's for an environmental cause, and yes I can understand that. However, it would be nice to have that choice on us, in my opinion. Anyway, other than that I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. I recommend this hotel to anybody, especially to family.
