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 visited this hotel at the start to our Hawaiian vacation. We accidentally booked it a day short and they would not honor the rate that we had received after calling just a few days after booking so we had to spend the night at another Hilton location and then transfer all of our bags there after an 11 hour travel day. This hotel was not following the strict hygienic guidelines Covid protocol as we know it. There were very few sanitizer stations around, there were no sanitation protocols poolside. Instead you were forced to stalk out chairs because of the limited amount. If you weren’t poolside by 800 am, you didn’t have a chair for the day. If you didn’t get your towels the night before, you waited in a line extending all the way to the ocean. There was always a wait at the elevators as well and only one sanitation station for a high touch area . Most of the restaurants on site were still closed and thus there was a 45 minute wait each morning for coffee at the local Starbucks even if you arrived as early as 5:30am. The most disappointing part was that I had left a sentimental necklace in the room. I called within an hour of leaving and told them exactly where it was, and to this day- they have said that they were unable to find it regardless of leaving a large tip for the cleaning staff. They were not helpful with any advice on the Covid retesting protocols when switching islands. There was always a long wait at the desk. We felt that for the price, this hotel was far below what we had expected. We would never recommend nor stay here again. Read less

I was unsure about how our experience was going to go after reading the reviews, but we had an excellent stay. Reading the reviews prompted me to do a little planning before our stay and utilize the concierge for optimal resources. We stayed in the Ali’i tower, room was clean and house keeping came everyday ( per my scheduled request) to clean. Food choices were great, we found lots restaurants, markets and had no trouble with finding delicious options. We also made dinner reservations ahead of time to avoid waiting in line. Our only complaint is the pools are too cold. The water should be refreshing but not freezing! The kids just never warmed up and the ocean ended up being slightly warmer. Overall we had a great time and I would encourage anyone coming to do a little planning, utilize the concierge and just enjoy. Read less

We were not made aware that this tower has staff available only for part of the day. We experienced disrespectful and unprofessional treatment from staff. As owners of the HGVC, to be called names and laughed at by staff was shameful. They thought we had left the lobby in the elevator when they realized we overheard their laughing, they became… Read more
We were not made aware that this tower has staff available only for part of the day. We experienced disrespectful and unprofessional treatment from staff. As owners of the HGVC, to be called names and laughed at by staff was shameful. They thought we had left the lobby in the elevator when they realized we overheard their laughing, they became quiet. Our toilet broke on the first morning. Maintenance never came. The public areas were dirty for days. This goes against all the Covid 19 precautions. This was the worst Hilton experience we have ever had. Read less

After doing some research, I decided to book the Rainbow Tower with the oceanfront room and balcony. Did not disappoint! For the view alone, and size of room was very worth it.
