The accommodations were wonderful. We had a fully stocked kitchen, dining area, living room with sofa bed, bedroom with a soaking tub, bathroom, balcony, and washer and dryer. It was immaculate and looked like new. The entire Hilton Hawaiian Village is a great place to stay when vacationing in Waikiki. There are 5 pools, a lagoon, beautiful beach, several shops and restaurants. Friday nights they have fireworks. They also have a very nice luau on the grounds. The Grand Waikikian has a lounge to use if you need to stay later than checkout. They have showers, lockers, comfortable seating areas, and charging availability. Our flight home wasn’t until 9:40 pm, so we stayed there after we checked out until we had to go to the airport in the evening. We used all of the facilities all day long, including the pool. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Hawaii (which will be our 21st Hawaii vacation).

We stayed at this hotel in a 2 bedroom ocean view apartment. The apartment was very nice and well appointed with daily housekeeping with was perfect. It had a full kitchen for making meals for the kids and reheating big lunch leftovers. It is close to Ala Moana shopping center and a good coffee shop under the Prince hotel (for Aussies that would want decent coffee including flat white). ABC stores under and nearby as well. Whole Foods was a $10 Uber trip away too! In fact most Waikiki locations where we went were in this price range. The pool near the hotel, the Paradise pool was awesome for kids and warm. They had waterslides operating between 11 am and 5 pm. The pool opened at 9 am and closed at 6pm. There are multiple other pools in the complex and the beach is a short walk away. There is also the public lagoon, though it was really cold compared to the ocean and pool. The kids loved the fish in there. The only downside was the towel situation. They gave a pool towel card per person and you used that to collect towels. The towel stand would close at six at all pools except the Tapa tower. If you were at the beach in the afternoon until late and missed the towel stand, you either had to wash & dry the towels in the apartment or go to Tapa tower to return. We opted for wash and dry. We tried a few food outlets in the complex. Tropics bar was ok, though my husband’s chicken came out undercooked! He also had an awful soggy Reuben sandwich at CJ’s New York Style Deli. Overall it was a great stay.

Fun hotel so long as you know what you are signing up for. Room had what we needed for our family of 4. Kitchen was great for breakfast and lunch. Had the basic items needed but note there is limited counter space. Room Itself is on the smaller side and two queen beds made for someone sleeping right up against either the wall or bathtub. Bathroom had a bit of a smell and some mold on the ceiling. Kids enjoyed paradise pool. However it is REALLY small considering the size of the hotel. One hot tub was closed which resulted in over 30 people in the one that worked. Huge bummer about the slides only being open during select times of the day. Half the pool is in the shade for just about the entire day. Limited seating but I did like that they wouldn’t let people into the pool until it opened to get their chairs. We stood in line 15 minutes before it opened and was always able to get a seat. Lagoon wasn’t a hit with our kids. Water was way to cold but the lagoon did get sun the entire day. Beach behind the hotel is very rocky. Bring shoes or you may cut your feet. Overall, while we enjoyed our stay we most likely won’t be back. Would rather stay somewhere that is more traditional Hawaii with less people.
