The Hilton Hawaiian Village is undeniably one of the biggest and most iconic resorts in Waikiki. This massive resort that truly lives up to the "village" in its name. With its sprawling layout and beachfront location, it offers plenty of attractions - the man-made lagoon was definitely a highlight for us. The lagoon is calm, kid-friendly, and perfect for paddleboarding, aqua cycling or just relaxing. We also enjoyed the hotel guests pool with waterslide, which was a great bonus for the kids and parents alike.
The resort has a lot going on, and it's great if you're looking for energy and action. There are shops, restaurants, bars and activities all within walking distance. It's almost like a mini city.
However, the size of the hotel also comes with downsides. It often felt overcrowded, especially in common areas and the lack of visible security made it easy for non-guests to access hotel pool, which was a bit concerning. At times, it felt more like a public space than a private resort. For the price point, we expected more in terms of service - small details like no kid's club and no complimentary coffee (something we appreciated at The Stay Hotel) made us feel the value could be better.
It's a fun and vibrant place to stay, especially for families, but it may not be the best fit if you're seeking peace or exclusivity. The overall value felt more about volume than value.
