Reviewed by Annie P. of Newberg, OR US on Feb-2008 Stayed at the Property - Jan-2008 First day: no hot water (no apology, "routine maintenance." Room faced active construction zone. "Concierge" actually sales booths for time-share. Two really crummy meals @ $45 each. Unheated pools too cold to swim. Down comforters too hot to sleep. Unhelpful, ungracious management. Recommend breakfast in Tapa Cafe, burgers in the deli, lomi-lomi massage at Mandara -- all predictably overpriced but very good.
Pros:	Mandara Spa

Reviewed by Laura D. of Glen Carbon of IL USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 After a long day of travel with my 2 sons we arrived at HHV at 5:30 p.m. to find our room was not ready. After waiting patiently they upgraded us. We were in the Rainbow Tower, 30th floor, with an unbelieveable view of Waikiki and Diamondhead. That simple act of kindness absolutely made our vacation and stay at HHV so fantastic. The grounds and shops are top notch and it was within easy walking distance of the Convention Center where my son was attending a robotics competition. Highly recommend this resort!

Reviewed by Ginny S. of Baltimore of MD USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My family did not enjoy a relaxing visit here. This place is huge! It is in the busy part of town with a lot of construction going on. The Rainbow tower lagoon was drained for renovations. The Staff was rude and did not greet customers. The pools crowded and the beach is actually a public beach. I would not reccommend for families. Too expensive and not worth the price. We stayed in the Alii Tower which is Club Level. Their private pool was never clean.Cups everywhere and towels left on chairs. We wanted a fun place with the extras of Club level. Did not experience this at all.Could use improving - Staff

The service was excellent (trolley and shuttle pickup on the property). Our flight didn't leave til 8pm, but we got a courtesy room for an hour to take a shower free of charge. HOW GREAT IS THAT!

Reviewed by Maria C. of on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 Our room smelled mildewy and moldy, so we were transferred to a room that was satisfactory. However, we were tired and it was aggravating to move all our baggage clear across the Hilton to another tower. The $*. breakfast buffet was room temperature. Nothing was hot. When we complained, the waitress was sassy but she did have the chef cook us some fresh, hot food. This hotel is too crowded and commercialized. I don't like the man-made beach. Dig your toe into the sand and you'll feel the concrete under the sand.

Reviewed by Karen W. of Honolulu of HI USA on Feb-2007 Stayed at the Property - Feb-2007 First and foremost, for those 'critics" stating that the parking, food and etc...is outrageously priced, you obviously haven't comparitively shopped in and around Oahu. The Hawaiian Hilton Villiage is neck to neck with the other resort-type hotels on the island. I have lived here for 4 years and come over to HHV quite often for long weekend get-aways and am always able to relax in comfort. The atmosphere is condusive for reading on the beach, napping in the afternoon and enjoying a decent dinner. All this can be done safely and enjoyably, even if you travel alone. Aloha.

The only jacuzzi in the entire resort is located at the Kalia Tower.

The Hawaiian Hilton Villiage is neck to neck with the other resort-type hotels on the island. I have lived here for 4 years and come over to HHV quite often for long weekend get-aways and am always able to relax in comfort. The atmosphere is condusive for reading on the beach, napping in the afternoon and enjoying a decent dinner. All this can be done safely and enjoyably, even if you travel alone. Aloha.

It is in the busy part of town with a lot of construction going on. The Rainbow tower lagoon was drained for renovations. The Staff was rude and did not greet customers. The pools crowded and the beach is actually a public beach. I would not reccommend for families. Too expensive and not worth the price. We stayed in the Alii Tower which is Club Level. Their private pool was never clean.Cups everywhere and towels left on chairs. We wanted a fun place with the extras of Club level. Did not experience this at all.Could use improving - Staff

Reviewed by Stacey D. of Mesa of Az USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - May-2007 The grounds are huge and beautiful. We had an ocean front room in the Rainbow Tower and it was great! I was disappointed that parking was $26 a day for our car! The restaurants are all expensive! 2 people couldnt eat for under $50 a meal! . Besides the restaurants, the rooms were nice and everyone friendly. We wanted to rent an umbrella and chairs for the day and found out it was $51 for the DAY. So, all was a little outrageous! Besides being expensive for everything, it was a great clean room (awesome pillows!), beautiful grounds, and a good location if you want to stay in Waikiki!
Pros:	beautiful grounds
Cons:	Parking! You shouldnt have to pay for parking!

Reviewed by Stacey D. of Mesa of Az USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - May-2007 The grounds are huge and beautiful. We had an ocean front room in the Rainbow Tower and it was great! I was disappointed that parking was $26 a day for our car! The restaurants are all expensive! 2 people couldnt eat for under $50 a meal! . Besides the restaurants, the rooms were nice and everyone friendly. We wanted to rent an umbrella and chairs for the day and found out it was $51 for the DAY. So, all was a little outrageous! Besides being expensive for everything, it was a great clean room (awesome pillows!), beautiful grounds, and a good location if you want to stay in Waikiki!
Pros:	beautiful grounds
Cons:	Parking! You shouldnt have to pay for parking!

Reviewed by Leanne B. of Hermosa Beach of CA USA on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 We had fun, but were dissapointed with these things. No waves. We were on the 34th floor of a tower and on the 35th floor (the top) they were doing construction...pieces of the ceiling actually fell into our room! It was so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk! They offered to put us into another room but the other room was not as nice (older, less ocean view). The housekeeper didn't restock the shampoo for 4 or 5 days in a row.
Pros:	lots of people, fun environment and convenient

The beach and entire grounds were beautiful. (We never even saw or heard all the renevations going on in the village). After reading many reviews, we were afraid of how expensive it would be, but we found it to be just like any other tourist area we have visited. (ABC store is great and cheap!)

The Hawaiian Hilton Villiage is neck to neck with the other resort-type hotels on the island. I have lived here for 4 years and come over to HHV quite often for long weekend get-aways and am always able to relax in comfort. The atmosphere is condusive for reading on the beach, napping in the afternoon and enjoying a decent dinner. All this can be done safely and enjoyably, even if you travel alone. Aloha.
