Crowded and TOO MANY KIDS!!! We are disappointed that we didn’t stay at the Royal Hawaiian our whole trip. If we go back to Hawai’i we will definitely go back there! Less crowds & kids and the hotel grounds were beautiful!!! Don’t stay at the Hilton!!!! The CONs- We arrived early, paid $50 to get a room earlier than the check in time and ended up getting a room right next to the elevators. Do not stay in the Alihi tower A-1301! It was noisy almost All night!! Especially on Friday after the fireworks. Also the room is located right above the only pool for the Alihi tower. So the kids are loud and obnoxious all day. They do not have an adults only pool, you have to go to a different Hilton down the street if you want one. It was nice but we didn’t like not having one at the hotel we were staying at. We forgot a few clothes once we left, we called them a few hours later and they claim they never saw them.....they never did find them. The PROs- there is a running track on the property, ABC stores all around, close to stuff we walked back from Diamond Head (1 hr or so but we stopped at a lot of places) and close to the Ala Moana shopping center and cruise terminal. If you stay in the Alihi tower you get a bracelet so you can skip lines for restaurants. Also it was nice to be able to see how busy the beach was and checking out a nice place to go before you go down to the beach right from your bedroom. The bathroom was nice but the tub was half the size of a normal sized tub. The fireworks were the best part but they were late and didn’t happen until around 8 o’clock Read less

Only stayed one night, but I would never stay here again the crowds, cover bands blaring music at all hours, a homeless man yelling obscenities at security, rust in the sinks, etc made for bad experience.

Only stayed one night, but I would never stay here again the crowds, cover bands blaring music at all hours, a homeless man yelling obscenities at security, rust in the sinks, etc made for bad experience. I had contacted Hilton about early checkin as we were on 8:30 Qantas flight response was basically book a room for the night before. Arrived at Hilton at 10am spent 15 minutes in check in que(no one serving Honors checkin) asked about early checkin was told nothing available come back at 2. A Hilton person comes up to us and let’s us know that for $75 there might be early checkin. Sign up at early checkin desk after being told in no uncertain terms to get in line with no one else behind an unmarked velvet rope. Amazingly 5 minutes later we have a room to go to. Read less

We checked in today for a 5 day vacation and I am ready to check out!!! The lack of cleanliness of this hotel has absolutelyruined my vacation and my peace of mind. I found hair in the refrigerator, the shower and all on the bathroom floor. There is also mildew/mold in the shower. My room has obviously not been cleaned thoroughly. When bringing this to managment's attention, the response was dismissive and nonchalant. Be aware that the rooms located in the Kalia are extremely outdated with furniture that is highly worn out. I am beyond embarrassed because I selected this hotel for our girls vacation and now I find myself apologizing to my friends and searching for other accommodations. Hilton, please do better.

The perfect place to escape to. Everything you could possibly need is in one place. You never need to leave the resort. But, it is walking distance to downtown and the Ala Moana mall. It also has the widest stretch on beach.
