Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
The Hilton Hawaiian village is like your own island. Has everything. Less congested than the other end of Waikiki beach. With all the amenities and Aloha Friday fireworks show! I heard one guest say I feel like I live at a mall. Has its own lagoon. It’s great.

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
Perfect location for visiting Waikiki Beach. Everything you could ask for (beaches, shops, restaurants, etc.) Were all less than a 5 minute walk. Hotel staff was very professional and very nice. Great view of the beach from our room with a balcony.
