This place is awesome, one downfall, I'll get to that later on. If you've been doing research, this place is massive in scale, if you have trouble walking or mobility issues look elsewhere. You'll need a solid 15minutes to walk to various areas in the resort.
This place is expensive, all the boutique shops are much more expensive versus anything outside the resort.
Ask to be upgraded to Rainbow tower, it's worth every penny and it's the closest to the beach. Our views and overall stay was fantastic. The resort is very central to everything on Waikiki.
Now the bad, this hotel is like a city, very disorganized and long waits at checkin. We are Hilton honors members, but we waited a long time to check in and get situated.
All in all a solid 4 out 5, if they can get more efficient on checkin and getting our rooms ready sooner, I'd rate them 5/5. We've been here before, this wont be our last trip to Hilton Waikiki Village, we'll be back in a few years.
