    Disappointing Stay

    I have stayed at this hotel many times over a number of years. I was there for 5 nights in November and was very disappointed. We were part of a large group and I was told that my Diamond Status didn't apply for an upgraded room (and an upgrade was unavailable even when I offered to pay). I did receive the Diamond benefit of $18/day each for me and my guest (which unfortunately I wasn't able to use every day as I was there on business with catered breakfasts/lunches and the $ is not cumulative unlike at other Hiltons where it is). Still miss the old gold/diamond lounge in the morning, which has disappeared along with the flamingos, penguins, etc. The hotel obviously has deferred maintenance, likely due to Covid. There are dead plants on the balcony of the Convention Center; the lobby entrance was being repaired and was under construction; rooms were dated; and my bedding was moldy, etc. The property was extremely crowded--my overall impression is that Hilton has overbuilt the time share properties with the result being there is insufficient room in pools, restaurants, etc. for the many thousands of guests. The kicker, though, was no power in the Tapa Tower on my day of departure and limited/nonexistent elevator service. Checking out with luggage and a handicapped companion and thus needing the service of a bellman was extremely frustrating and took hours--barely made our flight despite leaving ourselves plenty of time! HHV still has some pluses--nice beach, great location, an oasis away from the crowds of Waiikiki, and as always friendly/helpful staff (although many long-term employees have left). During Covid many facilities at the Hilton were closed and rates were high so I stayed at the Sheraton PK where I was stunned to learn I could reserve Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Seems like Hilton's $50 resort fee should cover the fee for Hilton beach chairs (despite these being provided by a private enterprise and the beach being a public one). I'm contrasting HHV experience with the Hilton San Juan, Hilton Copacabana, etc. where the beaches too are public access but where the Hilton provides complimentary chairs for its guests (either negotiating with the vendor or rolling the rental chair cost into the resort fee). Anyway, we had such a wonderful experience with the portable beach chairs from the Sheraton PK I called a local vendor and arranged a 5 day chair rental for a very reasonable fee and they even delivered the chairs to the HHV.

    You never feel relaxed there

    This is a hotel where you never feel relaxed. There’s a line at 6.30am for breakfast. There’s a line at the swimming pool. There’s a line when you take the lift. There’s a line to grab a seat for a drink. In the end you have the feeling you’re on vacation in a convention center. And when you’re having an issue, you will be answered ‘we have 3,000 rooms, we cannot satisfy all our customers’.

    One Satisfied Customer

    I stayed in the Ali’i Tower and the service was exceptional. When I want to be treated well, this is where I stay when I’m Oahu. Having its own pool, gym, check-in makes this tower desirable. The housekeeping staff does a terrific job. I was a solo traveler and I felt safe. Even in the parking garage. This is a step above a typical touristy hotel and you get what you pay for! Cheers to Hilton on this stay!

    Terrifying experience

    Be careful when staying here , Be careful my bag was stolen out of my hotel room and nothing was really done about it . We were told little to nothing about what could be done and no resurgence that it wouldn’t happen again . Tracker kept saying it was going back to property . Terrifying experience.

    Great experience, rooms a little dated.

    The hotel is well positioned close to restaurants and shops. The village itself has many restaurants and ABC stores which was really handy. We opted to stay at the Tapas tower, the room was a 3 star at best, very dated and old. Did find most of the staff friendly and helpful. The best thing about this hotel is the different pools and activities available. Tips for your stay would be stay would be to ask for a renovated room upon booking. Book reservations at the hotel restaurants, as waiting time at peak times can exceed an hour. The hotel gym could do with better weight equipment, but it wasn’t too bad.
