Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"First time in Hawaii and did not disappoint. Very nice hotel and close to the beach and all other stores. We did upgrade to an ocean view balcony and couldn’t get enough view from this beautiful place . Definitely will be back . The one star I remove was parking . We rented a car from the hotel for $98 just because they had advertised a free parking but they didn’t let us know that it’s overnight only, we couldn’t come back anytime during the day and park at the hotel so we had to straggle to find a parking anytime we would come back to the hotel .. otherwise the rental car across the street we found for $60 .."

Kaimana Beach Hotel

"My 3rd time staying at Kaimana Beach Hotel. I had some issues on my door as it wouldn’t lock all the way, I have to push it hard it order for it to lock. TVs should be upgraded to smart TVs. Overall I still love this hotel as it’s beachfront and I really enjoyed and loved my early morning swims"
