Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

5/5 Excellent

Exceeded expectations

"We loved our room in the Tapa Tower. It was really clean and it seemed recently updated. We had a great 180 degree view of from the balcony spanning from the ocean to the mountains. The room itself was very quiet except for a screaming baby next door who quieted down after awhile, but when you're in Waikiki it's not reasonable to expect total quiet. We'd love to return here and stay longer. Mia, who checked us in, was fantastic. Super friendly."
