“Great location with 5 star suites”

We are HGVC owners. When booking I was concerned about the suite size. 550 sf is basic 1 BR. Turned out very well. The units are so cleverly designed they feel much more spacious! Parking is expensive and UBER is ubiquitous and affordable. We never spent the equivalent of a days parking fee any day of our stay and Ubered 2-4x a day! My recommendation! The ubiquitous ABC convenience stores are insanely expensive; ¾ mile away in the International Mall Target groceries (and adult beverages) are a 50% discount. Pack a reusable grocery bag or 2 - you pay for all in Honolulu. Only negative is elevator issues really were severe during checkout and checkin times - only 1 was working the entire week and other guests reported the prior week only the service elevator was working!

“The Hokulani Waikiki Hilton Grand Vacations Resort put the Grand in Hilton Grand Vacations”

We used our ownership points to take another couple to Oahu with us and stay at the Hokulani Waikiki Hilton GVC.

We used our ownership points to take another couple to Oahu with us and stay at the Hokulani Waikiki Hilton GVC. We had stayed at a different HGVC a few years before, and the Hokulani was the only one available when we made our reservation for two week stay in November. The resort was perfectly situated for exploring Waikiki, and we made the most of it. We made it to Pearl Harbor for a whole day, as well as exploring the North Shore, a circle-tour of the island, some museums, and more. We spent a Sunday-Brunch morning at a local eatery watching our Detroit Lions notch their 11th win and also dined twice at Dukes Waikiki Restaurant which is a tribute to Duke Kahanamoku, the famous Olympic swimmer and one of the best surfers ever. I was also impressed with the way that our resort was set up to accommodate wheelchair-bound folks like me. The resort is just minutes from the famous beaches and right across the street from the open-air and under cover Royal Hawaiian Center Mall area with anything and everything that one could possibly want to shop for, great restaurants, alternate routes to the beach and more just a short walk/roll away. The staff of the Hokulani was super friendly and accommodating and worked hard to make us feel welcome. The suite had everything we needed plus stunning views. Everything was clean and well appointed, and the rooftop swimming/hot-tub area and bar area offered a panoramic view of the area. We even had a little excitement one evening from our sixth floor balcony overlooking the Royal Hawaiian Center when a fire evidently broke out in one of the small restaurants on the street facing us and the fire department swooped in with an impressive display of professionalism and expertise with multiple units responding and within a very short time had everything under control. The restaurant was even able to reopen a short time afterward; a further testament to the terrific first responders in keeping what could have easily been a tragedy or even a threat to every thing around it contained and with minimal damage. When we needed the resort to hold onto our luggage for us because of a very late airline ticket home, they accommodated us with secure storage and assistance once we were ready to go. All in all, the Hokulani put the word "Grand" in Hilton Grand Vacations. I recommend the venue to anyone.

“Amazing Stay in Honolulu”

This was my first time in Honolulu, so wasn’t sure where to stay. I chose this hotel based on the location, good reviews and the Hilton brand. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the island. I called ahead of my arrival to request a room with a view, if possible, given that it was my first trip to Hawaii. While I did have to wait a bit upon check in, the room did not disappoint, as it was a corner room with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Bay. Both the living area and bedroom are spacious and each room has a large screen TV, as well as a surprise TV in the bathroom. The kitchen has a fridge (with ice maker), microwave and a variety of plates, cups and utensils. This was perfect for morning breakfasts at the small table and chairs provided. The bed was quite comfortable, the AC worked well and there were multiple lighting options in each room. The bathroom was large, with dual sinks, a great shower, separate tub and two closets. The only slight downside is a balcony that is too small to sit out on, but again the view made up for it. The front desk staff were very helpful with every request and any time I called housekeeping they responded quickly. The valet parking, while expensive, had prompt service and friendly attendants. The rooftop pool is small, so I wasn’t there a lot, but I spent a couple of late afternoons there sitting in the shade to have a drink and it was a pleasant spot. I thought the location was perfect for a first-time visitor, as the main street of Waikiki is right outside with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Yes, that comes with some late-night noise, but I didn’t find it difficult to sleep. It is also a couple blocks from a small beach or about a 10-minute walk to the main Waikiki beach area. I have stayed in many HGV properties and I have to say this location would be right at the top of my list. I hope to be back.

My wife and I booked over thanksgiving and stayed for 6 nights in the 1 bedroom with a king sized bed. Lots of amazing shops nearby. Very upscale part of Waikiki. The room itself is full of high end finishes. Even though the room was quite modern it still felt homey. Staff was full of the “Aloha Spirit” and the bed was super comfy. The gym was a bit small, but there’s plenty of places to run outside. Every floor has laundry facilities (2 washers and dryers). The pillows were too mushy for my taste, but some people prefer super soft pillows, so, I’m awarding the Hokulani 5 ⭐️s.
