    The two of you make great tour guides. I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in 2012, flying my wife and daughter to Oahu non-stop from Phoenix as a 13th birthday present for our daughter. They loved the trip, the hotel and location. We took the sub ride, and watched the fireworks, and rented DVD's when we were ready to rest in the evening.
    The sub ride was amazing, a "bucket list" type of thing to do. We also went to Pearl Harbor and toured the Missouri, went to the Arizona memorial and ended our trip visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center on a bus tour that picked us up at the hotel.
    We loved Hawaiian Airlines, because they use wide-body aircraft for their non-stop flights from Phoenix to Honolulu. When I was still hungry after dinner they gave me a second one, since our meal was just a sandwich.
    The pools at the hotel were our only complaint, much too cold so we chose the nearby ocean for swimming.

    Rainbow, Diamond Head and Ali'i towers are hotel based. There is a private pool in the Ali'i Tower and also another private pool at HGVC Grand Islander. If you rent a car from enterprise/national on the resort,you can park the car in the Grand Waikikian parking garage the night of the return for free. Great resort, we go every year with our family.

      @@candy.yankovska I used Resort Pass and booked a day pass at the Marriott Resort & Spa because their pool has more amenities. I was able to get a comfortable lounger, towels, an umbrella when the sun was strong, friendly service for drinks and food, and there was chill vibe music. The beach area outside is small, but the water was prettier and blue. You get none of that at the Hilton.

    Okay review.
    I would of loved to see the rooms and hear any negatives like the AC or elevators not working.
    More details would of been nice but this was ok for a very general overview.🩵

      It it definitely resort prices, but there are some cheap options if you look for them. Check out our Waikiki Cheap Eats video!

    In most Asian countries for half the price of $25 you can eat a seafood buffet. Getting robbed in Hawaii
