Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

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 more than 18 restaurants, cafés and bars, you can dine somewhere different every night too. And we recommend finding a good spot to watch the weekly Friday night fireworks show on the beach, you'll get some great snaps for the holiday album!

On arrival, we we talked to upgrading to a seal view in the Rainbow Tower 5th floor, but in my opinion, it was still a partial see view see photo. The rooms are dated and tired the shops are very expensive. They charge over $100 for two sunbeds and a parasol for the beach per day. For the money I'm sure there are better hotels to stay in.

we were a party of 11 adults, family trip. This Hilton was nice, grounds are very well kept, but it is in dire need of some maintenance, cleaning and upgrade. very busy hotel which accounts for the tired beat up walls, floors and general appearance. we were “upgraded “ to the rainbow tower but not sure about the upgrade part. yes, it is right on the beach but the food, rooms etc were mediocre. Hawaii has become very expensive, $18 for a tropical drink at any bar. Our room looked out over the ocean but it also looks out onto a filthy concrete roof full of garbage and birds. we had a great time with family, but definitely would not return here, too dirty and unkempt.

If you want peace and to enjoy your vacation, DON'T COME HERE!!!! The place is crawling with children and parents who want a break from parenting them. In turn, they let them run rampant.

If you want peace and to enjoy your vacation, DON'T COME HERE!!!! The place is crawling with children and parents who want a break from parenting them. In turn, they let them run rampant. The hotel is extremely crowded. They might as well call it a city not a village. There is only 1 adult pool which is not just the smallest, but also closes at 6:00 PM. You're honestly better off at a motel or even sleeping on the street. We'll never be back. Read less

Nice hotel, stayed in rainbow tower with beautiful views. Staff were very friendly and most helpful. Fireworks on Friday evening were nice. We were feeling a bit under the weather so we did not get to spend much time at resort. The pool was packed it seems a bit small for a resort this big. If you like to shop Waikiki is the place to be.
