2nd time staying here. Great family option. Best beach in Waikiki and great to explore. Walkable to ala Moana and whole foods as well.
DO NOT GO

Do NOT go for the grand vacation deal! While staying at another Hilton, we passed a stand offering a Hawaii vacation bundle as one of the options and thought it’d a time saver and save us the stress with a bonus of 75,000 points. However when we got there, all the conversations about rooms seemed to have been forgotten. We’re a family of 4 and when we get to our room, we enter to see 2 twin doubles. Before that we request Rainbow Tower, the higher end hotel and instead got sent to their lowest quality lodge, worse than the one we were at when we applied for it! This is our 3rd time and the Lotus right down the street is miles better as well as not being 80, (EIGHTY) dollars a night for valley and SIXTY for self park! The place is overly crowded as well and goodluck finding a spot on the beach or in the small pool they have. We will NEVER be coming back here. Now as I write this we have to go to a time share presentation your REQUIRED to even do for the deal. If you want to really enjoy Hawaii avoid this place like the plague!
3 nights at HHV

We stayed here for three nights on the beginning of our Hawaii vacation The space is great. However, it is dated and in just ok condition. With a refresh, it could be stellar. The HHV area is nice, but it is very busy. Pools crowded and has very expensive parking @$68/night. Lots pf traffic around the city as well so plan your time widely. It was a good home base to explore all of Oahu, but next time, I would stay in a different part of the island for the real Hawaiian experience.
Great apartment and views, but a very busy resort

We stayed for four nights in a two-bedroom apartment at Hilton Grand Vacations Club Honolulu and it was a really comfortable base for our time in Honolulu. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need, including a washer and dryer (a godsend on a longer trip). The balcony had lovely views and was the perfect spot for a quiet coffee or sundowner. The resort itself is lively, with nightly entertainment at the bar and lots of pools, although they were absolutely packed during our stay. The beach is good and well run, with towels and loungers provided, which made life easy. Restaurants on site are convenient but eye-wateringly expensive for fairly average food, so we tended to eat out whenever we could. The location is good and works well for exploring the area. All in all, a solid, well-run resort with great apartments and views — just be prepared for crowds and pricey on-site food.
Lovely hotel in waikiki - Elvis used to stay here too

Lovely hotel on the end of Waikiki beach, furthest from Diamond head - and so a beach walk away from where most of the 'action' is on waikiki. I moved hotel after a few days, though this it perfectly located for those that want quieter beach, perhaps a little less busy. Hotel has a lovel adjacent pool area to the sea, perfect for families and younger children - safe from the currents and offers swimming and other water sports. Hotel has some lovely rooms, especially in Rainbow tower where you can get rooms with wrap around view facing the sea and sunsets, Good beach bar and restuarant lunch and a large variwty of shops in the village. Felt the hotel was stingy on water, even as a diamond member, only got two bottles of water for my whole stay! Whenever you use the events desk or concierge type service, everthing seems to take longer as there such a big focus on booking you in for a two hour tour of their vacations club. the staff are incentivised so it's aways a push and is too much really. Has a nice swimming pool area with plenty of seating and at seat service for food and drinks. WOuld stay here again, especially the room in Rainbow tower.
