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.
Oooohhh, the waters out there ❤ It`s really amazing to see the wildlife below. I can just close my eyes and be back in Uahu & Maui and that was bloody 30 years ago. Time flies..... Thanks guys for your fun videos!
Stayed at this resort back in July with my family. We were in the Tapa Tower. I’ve stayed at this resort on a number of occasions and it never disappoints! Missing it so much❤🤙🌺!
I recently stayed here my first time in Hawaii and the stay was Amazing and all the shops are really close so we didn’t have to leave the resort I will stay again next time I visit
Wow, that resort is gigantic. I haven't had the pleasure of getting there yet, but i definately want to. It looks like i could just check in and then i would have probably everything i could want to do and more just right there which would make it really handy. It is truly paradise
@@Izzywizzy976 really nice!! We stayed in the Tapa Tower. It was clean, comfortable, and convenient. The pool with the slide was fun for my kids! They had plenty of stores on the property, but it was also close enough for us to walk to other places if we wanted. We mainly liked to explore the island, but when we were at the resort, we were always able to find something fun to do!
hi i had a question for you guys, u mentioned about the rental vehicles, what did u mean exactly is it best to rent a car from the airport? or not because then u have to pay for parking? but if u rent from outside the airport u dont have to pay for parking? thanks for all the advice planning on staying at this same hotel.
Gotta love it when tourist complain that something is touristy. You don’t have to be full-time hipsters and above it all. When I travel, of course we like to go to the more off the beat places and enjoy the local vibes, but it’s also pretty fun to go and see the things that are the reason why people go there in the first place.
@@TheAwkwardTourists I dont remember much from the first visit except Pearl Harbor, punchbowl crater, and the bubbles floating past our balcony in Hilton Hawaiian Village when don ho was performing downstairs lol
Great video. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S.
Just got back to England after 11 nights at hawaiin village resort....it was paradise....we got married on Easter Sunday at the front of the rainbow tower ...just the two of us and a ukulele player but noticed there was a few people taking photos and videoing .....a long shot but is there anyone out there got any footage. Thanks x❤
Yo acabo de estar del 29 de diciembre hasta 6 de diciembre y realmente me encanto el lugar, lo tiene todo , claro un poco elevado de precios pero creo que allá es normal, yo surtí lo que necesitaba de la Walmart que se encuentra a 9 minutos del hotel ya que ahí las tiendas son muy caras.
I think Hawaii, but Miami has some beautiful beaches too, I think the water in Hawaii is more clear. Each are really unique, so it is hard to say which is better. Hawaii really does the island vibe well, but the nightlife in Miami is really entertaining
@@Jackyy209 It was great! They had Friday night fireworks on the beach that were fun and then some nights they had luau shows - you had to pay to get in to them and eat at the buffet but you could just walk by and watch on the outside for free like we did 😊
I'm curious if I stayed at a hotel nearby, what things at the resort would be available to me? I would think things like the shops and places to eat would be open to the public but maybe the pools would not? Anything else? Thanks :)
From my knowledge You can access the resort restaurants and shops if you are not staying there. The beach and the lagoon are open to the public too. I think the only thing you wouldn't be able to do is go to the pools
Thank you for your video! Three questions: 1) There are microwaves in the room, right? 2) Do you still need to pay for beach chair rentals at the lagoon? 3) Do they serve alcohol/waited staff at the Lagoon?
I’ve stayed here and 1) Atleast the hotel room I stayed in there wasn’t any microwaves 2) You still need to pay for the beach chair rentals 3) Not sure
Hi guys, loved your video! As we are planning our trip there can you please let me know if the main beach ( not a laguna) is good for swimming / snorkling meaning not big waves or too strong dangerous currents?
Having a hard time deciding on this hotel or the Moana surfrider…. Have it all set up online and the Moana is about $10k more… wondering if it’s worth it or just stay here instead
Hello, looking at booking at this resort. What is the best and easiest way to travel to this hotel from the airport with a toddler, without having a car seat?
family favoritte restaurant got married their also my brother and sister father and mom retiremnt party thre made many partie there also attend man party also work there.
Why? I was going to book it for next month as weve been there 5 times before but its been a few years since our last visit. I was thinking it I should book this hotel once again or try a diff hotel. Can you tell me why you feel its the worse? It would help me alot.🩵
@@candy.yankovska The ratio of guests to accommodate in the restaurants is way off. We couldn't find a seat at a bar or a restaurant. The adult pool offers NO amenities... no bar, uncomfortable chairs, and no shade when the sun is blaring.
@@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.🩵
At the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki you can also watch fireworks every Friday night brought to you by the Resort.🎆🤙🏽🌴🌺
Yeah, Super cool, We were able to see those from our balcony
Thanks for posting this. I am turning 60 and never been to Hawaii. Now I know where my wife and I are headed
Did you make it out to Hawaii?!

I agree, The pools were a little chilly. But the ocean temperature was perfect!

We will have to check that out next time for sure
Both places were wonderful!!!!@@TheAwkwardTourists
I recently stayed here my first time in Hawaii and the stay was Amazing and all the shops are really close so we didn’t have to leave the resort I will stay again next time I visit
Yeah, This resort has pretty much everything you need. No need to leave if you don't want to!
I checked for reservations and apparently they are booked for the next two years is this normal ? Or am I checking wrong ?
So beautiful Waikiki beach!!😍😍 And wonderful resort as well!! I want to go there and take a rest👍👍 Thank you for sharing this my new friend!!
Thanks for visiting! It was a really nice resort
Wow, that resort is gigantic. I haven't had the pleasure of getting there yet, but i definately want to. It looks like i could just check in and then i would have probably everything i could want to do and more just right there which would make it really handy. It is truly paradise
You really don't have to leave the resort if you don't want to
Keep hawaii hawaiian 🌺 🤙🏽 glad you guys enjoyed your stay 🙏🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing your culture and home with us. It really is paradise
Great video! Thanks for the info! I’m planning a trip for me and my children in the coming year to the Hilton Resort. Super excited
Thanks for the quick look! We have five nights there, coming up in a couple of weeks! We are looking forward to it, of course!
Hope you enjoy it!
I went there last november. Was the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at.
Going there in December for the pear harbor anniversary. Super excited, expecting an amazing experience
Thanks for the quick look! We have five nights there’s comes up . Looking forward to
We just booked 6 nights there for December! We’re so excited!
That's awesome! Have Fun and let us know if you have any questions before your trip
I’ll be there in December the night before my cruise!
How was it? :)

We rented from TURO for a fraction of the price!
I can't wait to see what you find in Hanouma Bay! Also, I dig the new suitcase logo.
Thanks! We just got it done

who is complaining? Saying something touristy is touristy isn't complaining. It's just giving information
Love this video! Very informative! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
So timely for me- was just looking to book this resort!
Awesome! Hope you have a great trip!
Lucky enough to have stayed here twice...once in 82 and once in 2015
I bet it changed a lot in that time. Just seeing the difference in Waikiki must have been crazy
@@TheAwkwardTourists I dont remember much from the first visit except Pearl Harbor, punchbowl crater, and the bubbles floating past our balcony in Hilton Hawaiian Village when don ho was performing downstairs lol
Is mid November a good time to go weather wise? Is the beach still fine to swim in and can we expect more sun or rain?
Any month is good time to go to Hawaii, but it does rain a lot all year round as it's so tropical
Thank you for sharing. I’m going in November.
I wish I could go back there again. I was there 40 years ago next month.
I bet it has changed a lot. Waikiki is beautiful, but probably a lot more people now
I’m checking in tomorrow! 😅can’t wait!
🎉🎉this looks amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Is the access to the Mandra spa complimentary? Or do you have to pay extra on top of paying for the hotels
You have to pay extra to the spa

Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S.
Also, is the beach nice for swimming or do we need to search for another beach area?
It's good for swimming

Is the water and beach more beautiful in Miami or Hawaii? Which is better ?

My fiance and I are staying here next month for our honeymoon.. it looks so beautiful! We can't wait
Have a great trip!
How was it? Did they have any night entertainment shows?
@@Jackyy209 It was great! They had Friday night fireworks on the beach that were fun and then some nights they had luau shows - you had to pay to get in to them and eat at the buffet but you could just walk by and watch on the outside for free like we did 😊
Heya, can you tell me about booking activities in Honolulu, any tips I’m planning on going next Yesr ??
Could you please let me know if the room has carpet or Laminated Vinyl Plank floors?
no carpet
Em and I love your new logo! I think it’s a keeper
Thanks so much! We really like it too

Love y’all’s videos !!
Thank you so much! That really means a lot
Hi, leaving this week to stay at this resort. Is it really warm there this time of year?
Hi! It's usually warm so year round, but I would suggest doing a quick Google search to determine what the average temp is during this time of year
Is it an all inclusive resort?
Hi guys, loved your video! As we are planning our trip there can you please let me know if the main beach ( not a laguna) is good for swimming / snorkling meaning not big waves or too strong dangerous currents?
Depends on the conditions, Sometimes Waikiki Is super flat and calm, other times it gets decent waves, so relly just weather dependent
Having a hard time deciding on this hotel or the Moana surfrider…. Have it all set up online and the Moana is about $10k more… wondering if it’s worth it or just stay here instead
Tough choice, I have never stay at Moana, but heard it's nice
is there a water refill machine at the resort?
Yes there is
Subscribed 🤙🏽
Thanks so much
We don’t plan on renting a car. Where is the best snorkeling if we’re staying there?
You can snorkel right off the beach, or you can take public transportation to Hanauma bay
How easy is it to get to the beach?
Very easy. The resort is right by the beach, so from the tower we stayed at (rainbow tower) you can access the beach about 100 feet from the elevator
Hello, looking at booking at this resort. What is the best and easiest way to travel to this hotel from the airport with a toddler, without having a car seat?
We took an Uber from the Airport and it was super convenient
Have you been to the Hilton property in Waikoloa on the Big Island? We are going in April!!
We actually have and we made videos there! Check out our Hawaii playlist if you're interested
is this an all incluisve resort?
It is not
Soo all this restaurant belongs to hilton?? If u have a discount card u can use on those restaurants??
As far as we know, all restaurants on this property are Hilton. I don't know about any discount cards, that would be a question for the resort.
Stayed in Lagoon Tower 6/21- 6/28.
Where staying there for global games this year for my cheer!
Awesome! Have a great time!
Amo mi hawaii
Is it an all inclusive resort?
No, it's not. Those are pretty uncommon in Hawaii
@@TheAwkwardTourists darn went to a few website looking for one and said that this was
I;m staying thre for a week hope would be fun
you didnt mention the Tapa Tower
Vegan restaurant is any of it?
Didn’t look super kid friendly?
the ali'i tower has a pool and only guest staying there can use pool.
I did not know that, Is that one of the time share properties?
where would you park a rental car then the prices went up to 72 a night in 2024
We opted for one day rentals on Turo because parking was so expensive!
I went to Hawaii
Spent our honeymoon there in 1983
Thats so cool. Such a beautiful spot
family favoritte restaurant got married their also my brother and sister father and mom retiremnt party thre made many partie there also attend man party also work there.
Too many shots of the vloggers we don’t care and show us stuff besides restaurants good grief
Lol
Way too big. I would definitely not stay here
Definitely a big resort on Waikiki, there are tons of options for smaller hotels/ resorts on the island though
This is the worst hotel ever.
Why?
I was going to book it for next month as weve been there 5 times before but its been a few years since our last visit.
I was thinking it I should book this hotel once again or try a diff hotel.

Is food expensive ?
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
