Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"Amazingly beautiful and clean campus. We arrived at the hotel early after departing a cruise and the front desk was able to allow an early check-in so we didn’t have to wait all day for our room. Very thankful for that. Our view was surreal. It was a dream to sit out on our balcony and watch the ocean waves and to also be able to see some of Hawaii’s awesome landscapes. Expected to pay A LOT for anything and everything, but the view just might be worth it."
