What guests think

Guests like in-room kitchens and washers/dryers, balconies with mountain or ocean views, and the easy walk to dining and activities. Common drawbacks are very expensive and confusing parking, crowded areas with occasional long elevator waits, and pool limitations such as early closures, unheated water, or hot tubs being closed. Service felt understaffed or disrupted during a recent labor strike, and some found check-in signage and navigation unclear. Expect a lively, convenience-focused resort stay rather than a quiet hideaway.

Facilities

Large village-style resort with multiple pools, lagoon access, shops, activities, and a gym; many families enjoy the variety. Downsides include very expensive or complicated parking, crowded or unheated pools with occasional hot tub closures, and slow, busy elevators.

We stayed at the Grand Islander for 1 week in a 1 bedroom, it was enough space for our family of 4. The kitchen saved us some money on meals, the coffee they provided was good. Pools were great! They provided towels to use at beach and pool. Beach is walkable with fireworks on Friday's. Checking in was tricky, they have a separate check in lobby than the other Hilton properties on site my husband endedup just hanging with the car in the little side road next to the building and I walked to find check in . The parking garage across from them is cheaper and also easier to access... we paid for the month pass and it was $235.. would have cost $505 through the hotel.

I loved the hotel, I was just wish the pools stayed open later! We didn't get to swim in the pools due to doing other things on the island, the pools close way to early, the pools were the reason I booked the stay and we didn't even get to experience them.

We have stayed on your property twice within the last 1 1/2 years. Our first stay was during October, 2021. Crowds were down due to COVID restrictions on travel. Moving thru the property was easy, swift and convenient. On our last stay, many more quests on property. Wait times at the elevators could be brutal. It appeared that not all the elevators were operating many times, increasing long wait times.

Everything about our stay was fantastic. The one issue was the cost of valet parking as we stayed 12 days, which equaled almost $1k in parking alone. Found out during our stay that there's a public parking garage across the street where you can purchase a monthly pass for about $200 and don't have to wait for anyone to bring your car around. Other than that, it was a perfect vacation location with plenty of room for our family of 5 and lots of options for food and entertainment. The staff are outstanding and all very kind and accomodating. Trip of a lifetime!

This property is the best at the Hilton Hawaiian village because it’s the newest and there’s a private pool on the 3rd floor that is barely used. It is a big difference when you check out the other pools on the property. The room and everything in this timeshare condo type apartment was top of the line and newer. It made the stay comfortable and luxurious.

The resort was ideally located, with the beach, multiple shopping options, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. Checking out through text message was a convenient option that we took advantage of. Overall, it’s an incredibly beautiful place to stay.

The Grand Islander by Hilton Grand Vacations in Waikiki is highly rated for its spacious, apartment-style suites equipped with full kitchens, washers/dryers, and large balconies, many with ocean views. The property offers family-focused amenities, including a kids' club, a pool, and access to the larger resort's spa. Appreciate the sleek, modern decor and the resort’s beachfront location near popular Waikiki attractions. However, some mention the high resort fees and expensive parking as downsides【7†source】.

It would be helpful to know the Hilton Hawaiian Village is truly a village with the 5 or 6 hotels on outside and restaurants/ cafe/bar/pools are contained between them. If you crave variety in food choices, yu might head to Waikiki. That was a drawback fo us. Our Grand Islander suite was clean, comfortable and had a well-equipped kitchen. Mountain views were spectacular and we had 2 balconies to choose from so breeze wasn't a problem.

Jennifer

16 Apr 2023

Stayed 3 nights

Room was beautiful and very comfortable. Parking fee was ridiculous and not listed when I made the reservation so it was a surprise to pay $62/night in addition to the resort fee. And the one parking garage for all the Hilton towers was not connected to our particular tower so for the high fee we still had to walk through the village to get to and from. Elevators were frustrating as the digital touch screen did not always work so we had to re-enter our floor number multiple times before it worked almost every time we used it. TV’s in room used a mouse system on the remote for apps and was very difficult to use at times. Other than the elevator, tvs and parking fee, our stay was great. Good pools and everything you need was available in the village. Lots of shops, restaurants, and live entertainment at night, and lots of pools to choose from. Would stay here again.

our family vacation in Honolulu was great the hotel service was awesome; however the sofa-sleeper was not comfortable at all. I had to ask for a comforter to put on top and even with that it was not enough cushioned then the fourth night i had to ask for extra layer which the hotel gave us a topper to add on as i can feel the spring on my back. I could not find any double bed suits available and that was why i booked King suits with a sofas bed.

Our stay in 2 bed 2 bath suite was excellent. Room came with washer dryer, full kitchen, and 2 patios. From the 25th floor, we did not have a view of diamond head, but partial view of mountains and view of beach. Was perfect for the Fri firework show. Pools were busy and food options help make the resort not feel as busy.

Staff was on strike so the money i spent for the amenities did not match. Rooms weren't ready for a lot of guests because they were so short staffed and simple things like towels weren't readily available and had to get it yourself. I don't care about that but when you spend that type of money you would hope its included. Other than that, Hawaii was beautiful! But if i knew about that strike i would have booked else where.

We are shocked and appalled by how poor the service was at the Hilton after paying over $1,000 per night. The number of staff and amenities were not enough for the amount of guests staying at the hotel. We felt bad for the staff who were running off their feet. There seems to be serious management issues or management is too cheap to staff the hotel appropriately. Both check-in and check-out had long chaotic lines, with only 3 of 6 check-in desks open. The pool/beach towel kiosks were only staffed until around 6pm, despite the pools being open to 10pm (so you couldn’t get towels in the evening). We booked a large multi-bedroom multi-bathroom suite for 6 guests but only had enough towels, linens, and pillows for 4 guests, despite 6 guests on the reservation. I could go on about how poorly run the hotel was, but I am running getting close to the character limit for the my review. Not what we expected for the price.

Mostly, we were annoyed by the time share staff that were very inappropriate. They overinflated the tour prices to convince us to take advantage of a discount if we have a demonstration for the”time share” presentation. Otherwise, the location of the hotel was good but it is a bit noisy.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Grand Islander - Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. Property and facilities are immaculately kept. Cleanliness was thorough throughout the resort. Don't worry if you forget anything. There is plenty of shopping at the ground floors with just about everything you could be. Staff are simply lovely - helpful and professional with everyone we encountered. The beach next to the resort is well kept with lots of room for everyone. A variety of vendors to shop from most days. There is plenty to do and see within walking distance of the resort. 4.5 stars and highly recommend! The only thing missing for our visit was afternoon activities/fun for teens. It would be great to have a game room and teen-aged activities on site.

Grand islander tower had beautiful rooms and cleaning staff were amazing. Difficult to get directions around resort from staff. No close restaurant/food options when rain was torrential. Other towers had easier access to places without getting soaked.

In terms of the property it was beautiful and had an in unit washer and dryer. My 3 star review is more towards the rewards lady that judged my friend and I when we walked in. After check in we were told to go to the rewards desk. The lady did not look up at us or say anything until I asked what exactly are we here for. She looked up and asked if my friend and I were only staying there with just us two and was in disbelief that two younger girls were staying there (were 28 but apparently look 16 by the way she was talking to us) She proceeded to have a annoyed tone like we were wasting her time being there and asked us if we have jobs… I looked confused and thought it was a joke then laughed and said well yeah of course I have a job how else am I staying here. Then asked if we made over seventy five thousand a year to when I realized this is their timeshare pitch to which I replied saying I wasn’t sure and she just told us yeahhhh I don’t think this would be good for you and said to have fun on the island. Idk if I’m happy she stopped annoying us about the time share pitch or upset that she treated us like that scene from pretty woman or Selena.
