The hotel

Picture a white sand beach surrounded by acres of tropical grounds, with water sports galore and five different pools to cool off in. This is the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Amble over to the huge beachfront Super Pool or if you have kids in tow perhaps the family activity pool will tempt you. With 18 restaurants, cafés and bars, you can dine somewhere different every night too. And we recommend finding a good spot to watch the nightly Hawaiian entertainment on the beach on Fridays.

We loved the resort. But it is need of renovation we stayed 9 nights in the Alli. The beds are really uncomfortable. Just worn to the springs. The resort itself is nice and so are the people who work here. However if you don't sleep well on vacation it kind of defeats the purpose. We were sinking into the center of the bed it was so worn.

Even my 5 year old mentioned it. Pretty disappointed since Hilton usually is top notch. Read less

My friend and I spent five glorious nights in the Rainbow tower in July, first 3 nights on a high floor overlooking Diamond Head and the last 2 nights in a corner room with two balconies!! We ate in several of the restaurants in the courtyard area and loved them! We bought food at the ABC store on site and brought it back to our room to enjoy! We found the grounds to be clean and staff friendly! I wish the front desk would have explained the elevator situation for the Rainbow Tower. It was confusing at first, but once other guests explained it to us, it was fine. The only real complaint is the experience at the Tropics Bar and Grill. Stood in line at 4:30, for opening at 5:00. We were seated in the back of the restaurant, no view, behind the bar and where staff dumped dirty dishes. Food was expensive and not worth the money! I would avoid this place!! Read less

I am checking out today after spending 18 days at the HHV. This is my 2nd visit this year and certainly won’t be my last. If you are reading this review and still trying to make up your mind if this is the right place for your next vacation, look no further. The Aloha Spirit with every staff member, especially the front desk personnel and the waitresses/waiters and bartenders are exceptional. Housekeeping did an excellent job and kept my ocean front corner room in the Rainbow Tower in tip top shape. I ate at pretty much all of the on-property restaurants and enjoyed every meal. The pools are well maintained and the beach could not be more inviting. Safe Travels did not hamper my trip in the least as I knew what I was going to need each time I ventured out to a restaurant or bar. Lastly, if you can swing the higher cost associated with the Rainbow Tower, that is hand’s down my recommendation. Ocean Front with Diamond Head in the background is the priceless view you only see on postcards. Look past some of the negative reviews and take it from a Hilton Honors Diamond Member that travels a great deal, this is the place to stay. Read less
