    I wasn't staying at Hilton when I was in Waikiki. I was staying at a hotel that was across the…read morestreet. The review is about Hilton Hawaiian Village. The village has a cute Asian theme. What is really cool is the tree in the center of the village. There are restaurants and souvenir shops in the village. I came here for the Honolulu Cookie stores. The village is quite busy. It is a busy and pretty village. There is also the ABC store here. The village itself isn't big. Yes there are plenty of parking on site. There is a couple floor parkage at this village. If you are a tourist, I highly recommend coming here to check it out.

    All I have to say is be VERY careful what room you think you're booking here as the pictures they…read moreadvertise are not the rooms with the views you end up getting. You can tell by the manager's responses to all of the negative reviews here that there is no desire to make any negative experiences right for the customer. There is an apology that it didn't live up to standard and an "I hope you give us a try next time". Let that be the baseline for the customer service you'll receive if you choose to stay at this hotel. We arrived in late July with our friend and two young kids. We get to our "ocean view" at the Rainbow Tower which we paid extra for only to find a gigantic tree blocking the view we believed we paid for. We called to the front desk and Annie very rudely dismissed us before telling us to come downstairs to prove that our view wasn't as the pictures showed when we booked it. She told us to head down to the Mail Drop line and when we got there we're told we were at the wrong place. We then argued with a manager (can't remember her name anymore) for I'd say a good hour. First, we were actually told the manager bounces between towers and wasn't at the Rainbow Tower which ended up being untrue as we saw her in the back when we came down and she ended up being the one to talk to us. We asked to be moved to a different room and we were told this very partial ocean view we got with the room we paid for titled "ocean view" was exactly what we paid for because if we wanted an ocean view we had to book "ocean front". Yet, if you book an ocean view room on their website or through Expedia, the view they advertise is a full ocean view. We definitely felt gaslit and like we were crazy for asking to be moved to a room we paid for. They finally agreed to move us to a "lagoon view" saying they didn't have any ocean front rooms because they're so busy that they're full 365 days of the year. (Meaning they don't really need our business, I'm guessing.) We were not happy with the lagoon view because we paid for an ocean view, but we ultimately had no choice but to concede and they said they would reimburse our resort fees. What's sad is that the employee knew how to work the system more than the manager. Also, another man came down with the same complaints as us, but no employees acknowledged him so he waved his hand, and stormed off. It's been over a month since this happened, and my friend who booked separately from us (who had the same issue) has yet to receive her reimbursement. They said they mailed the check and she never received it. She's been calling them and has received no reply. The elevator situation at the Rainbow Tower is also horrible. Supposedly, they're working out the kinks, but be prepared for long waits and very crowded elevators when you want to go anywhere. Another tip if you choose to stay here. Do NOT bother paying for the cabana at the Tapa pool. We did and no one walks you to the cabana. They tell you to open it up and set it up yourself after they hand you a few waters at the towel stand. There's no food or drink service, and you have to go to the bar next to it to get your food or drinks. It's also very isolated from anything fun. We booked 2 Casabellas at the Super Pool the next day. They were cheaper and MUCH better. They had food and drink service and the server was awesome and the towel desk takes you to them and opens them up for you. Cabanas are a bust and a total waste of money. Overall, the customer service at this hotel is awful and I can only assume it's because they don't need our business since they're full 365 days a year... as they informed us. The nice thing about the hotel is that it has shops and restaurants attached, but it's extremely crowded. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.

    I booked Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach because it was one of the most affordable hotel options I could…read morefind in Waikiki where I still felt safe, and I was honestly pleasantly surprised. Check-in and check-out were both incredibly easy. And whoever had the AC blasting on full cold before I walked into my room -- THANK YOU. After being out in the Hawaii heat, walking into that cold room felt amazing. You can tell the room itself is older, but it also looks like they've made an effort to refresh it. The walls had newer paint, everything was clean, and the towels were fresh. The biggest surprise, though? THE BED. I was not expecting it to be that soft and comfortable! I slept so well. Is it the fanciest hotel in Waikiki? No. But if you want somewhere clean, comfortable, safe, affordable, and easy to stay at without paying luxury-resort prices, this absolutely did the job. I'd stay here again.

    This was my very first time staying at a Hyatt hotel and it was quite pleasant. My friends and I…read morestayed between 2-3 nights and my aunty friend got us a Friends & Family discount through her daughter who works for Hyatt. Check In is 3 PM and Check Out is 11 AM & we checked in a tad later maybe around 5-5:30 PM. Overall, I shared 2 nights with a friend and we were able to split the payment between our 2 cards thanks to the Front Desk. I paid probably $221 for my share of the 2 nights which was pretty reasonable for Hawaii. They gave us a $5 credit for drinks/snacks at The Market (which we didn't have time to take advantage of) and a small Hilton bag with 2 bottles of water. The room was surprisingly pretty spacious for the Double Queen Beds, a TV, mini fridge, desk station, comfy couch, and closet. I'm usually one not to sleep well in hotels but I was exhausted from my first Oahu day and slept real good for the 2 nights! It wasn't extremely cold too, it felt like a nice 72-73 degrees. The Breakfast Bar (aka buffet) was included and opens at 6:30 AM and ends 9:30 AM Monday-Friday and at 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday. It was located on the 3rd floor where the pool is located and quite windy. There was a good selection of cereal, toast, bagels, oatmeal, yogurt, pineapple, granola, hot food station (which had Scrambled Eggs, Portuguese Sausage, Pork Link Sausage, House Potatoes, Waffles, etc.) and my absolute favorite, hot rice and Miso Soup! There was Apple and Orange Juice and a nice selection of Hot Tea and Coffee which you can take to go as well. Downside was parking was $62+/overnight. My friend found a parking structure nearby of walking distance which charged only $45/night so we saved a bit especially with renting a Tesla (the closest Tesla Supercharging Station would be the International Market Place-Target Parking Structure on the 4th floor on the left FYI). Overall the Hyatt was welcoming but because it was summer, prepare for lots of families and some wait time with elevators. There was a Domino's Pizza downstairs if you have some mid night munchies lol!

We booked our Oceania Transoceanic cruise about 18 months in advance - plenty of time to coordinate - but none of our request were handled properly. NS blamed Oceania for the travel arrangements, yet Oceania only comunicates through the travel agent leaving us stuck with NS and no real help. To make matters worse, we (friends and us) were assigned different travel advisors at NS who did not communicate with each other. Our friends and us ended up with cabins on opposite ends of the ship. We both paid for Business Class upgrades; we were booked on different airlines with different itineraries. Wrong information given to us. Communication was poor - excuses, delays and no accountability or taking responsibility. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Non-Stop Travel. If you want clear communication and a company that actually listens, look elsewhere. If you are considering an Oceania cruise, book directly with Oceania.

I booked this place through Expedia. What went right: + The View!! Amazing! Pic is from the 36th floor + Kitchen with stove and utensils. Good if you are here for a while. No so much: - The check in process. Even after booking the place you have to fill out more forms and send it back for approval. Found out it was needed when I got there. I was in a time crunch and needed to be somewhere. 10 min delay... - No parking. It's advertised that Parking is available but you have to reserve it way in advance. I had to park a block away. - No front desk. You pick up your room key fob from a lock box. - Only one of two elevators are working. My longest wait for an elevator- 10 mins. No warning from the hotel when you book the room. - Dirty Towels. If they bleach can't get rid of it throw it away. See pic. 2.5 stars Rounded down to 2. Would've been rounded up for the view but the delay and inconvenience bumped it down.
