I stayed there way back in may, 1977. I was just about to graduate from 8th grade a month later. Our Church planned a group trip and they made enough money to throw off a raffle. My father bought a book of raffle tickets and he won. My father couldnt go so i went with my mother. There were about 35 of us. I was the only kid, going on 14 years old. Everyone else were adults ranging from 35 to 60's. But i had a blast. Went on the outrigger canoe riding the waves. We were there for 2 weeks. It looks like the property changed a bit but the tower is the same as it was 45 years ago. Our hotel tour director her name was Laylani... not sure if im spelling that correctly. She was so nice. Looking at this video brings back some bittersweet memories. My mom is now in her late 70's and living in a nursing home with full dementia and my father has since passed on. When i was collecting her stuff a few months ago when she went to the nursing home, i found 2 photo albums of that trip. I still have the picture of the girl who put the lei around my neck when we got off the plane. She looked like she was in her late teens, and so beautiful but i was so tired from that 12 hour trip from NY i barely paid her any attention. I went back to Hawaii about 25 years ago with a woman i had been dating at the time but we went to Kauai and Maui. Im since then been married and my wife has been bugging me for years to take her to Hawaii... and of course, Italy. When we come we will definitely come to Hilton Hawaiian Village. You know how some songs you hear from the past remind you of a specific time or place?! I remember when i was walking around outside the hotel and music was playing over the hotel speakers... ."southern nights" By Glen Campbell came on. EVERYTIME I hear that song on 70's on 7 siriusxm it reminds me of walking outside the hotel. Im pushing 60 in less then 2 years, i need to get back there again. Good memories!!

Hi Michael thank you very much for watching. This is one of the reasons why I love uploading travel videos because it might be able to connect with someone. Your story is beautiful especially you still remember the first time you visited the island years back. Yes definitely bring your wife to Hawaii, she will love it there. Hilton Hawaiian Village is the best to stay in Oahu. When you visit the HHV again it will bring you back a lot of memories. There are some changes to the resort and new towers from the time you first visit but it is still the same aloha vibe. I have other videos about Hawaii and do not forget to subscribe so you will be updated.

Hi thanks for watching. Congratulations, your girlfriend will have a great memory of the proposal. There is not a seat down restaurant near the beach inside HHV only bars. If you are stay at rainbow tower, the best rooms are the beach front rooms, you will unobstructed view of Waikiki beach and the fireworks. If it is marina/beach view then you will have a good view of the fireworks as well. Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel and good luck to your proposal.

I have a reservation at the grand islander and lagoon tower roughly the same rate. Which tower do you recommend?

@jeztravel 5 ай бұрын

It depends on what you prefer. If you want to stay at a new suite then go for the Grand Islander but it is located at the backside of the village not a good view of Waikiki unless your suite is located at the higher floor. The Lagoon tower is facing the lagoon a better view of the lagoon and Waikiki beach but it is older suites. I stayed on both i like Grand Islander as long as you got ocean view suite. Thanks for watching.

My family and I stayed here back in 2016 and then again in 2020. I love the grounds and love how it's beach front. Only thing I hate is the food options in the area. The choices are horrible. They really should get rid of all the lousy stores on the courtyard and put better food options on it. The only other flaw are the rooms are really out dated and need a overhaul.

@jeztravel 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for watching. In my case I would not say horrible but I think you got a point point when it comes to food options. I would love to see an authentic Hawaiian restaurant in the bazaar. But I enjoy the seafood at blue water shrimp.

@tleeg74 2 жыл бұрын

@@jeztravel yea, Blue Water Shrimp is really good. Maybe horrible is too harsh, but there really aren't that many good choices in the courtyard area, and if someone doesn't have a car (we never rent a car while there) then you have a real problem looking for food options.

You are correct on that. I hope they change some of the restaurants in the courtyard.

Gilligan's Beach Shack is the food truck that's at the end of Duke K Lagoon boardwalk. Restaurants along Kalakaua Ave are within walking distance. Waikiki Gangnam Style was a treat. KCC Farmer's market you need to Uber to but there are always great food stalls. Pig and The Lady is a favorite. They have a restaurant Piggy Smalls is within Uber distance. Ala Moana Center has a pretty reasonable food court. Too bad the pandemic caused the Shirokiya Japan Village Walk to close, that place was great!

I don’t think so. A lot of people stay stay here without status. You got a lot of options to choose from and any budget. Even with status since it is a very popular resort, it is not a guarantee you will get an upgrade. If you come during summer, good luck on getting an upgrade even if you are Diamond status like me.

Hi all I can say is that every opinion a person has is based on the time she visited and the expectation she has. Maybe her expectations were not met. I have been to HHV for 6x and it will be the 7th this coming July. Last July we were there and it was very busy and due to Covid there were not a lot of staff so some people were frustrated, I was a little frustrated due to a lot of people on the resort. But overall I still enjoy staying at HHV.

Thank you very much for watching. You are right the quality of Hilton properties is not at par with a ritz or a four seasons but this is still a good place to stay depending on which tower you are staying. Another advantage of the HHV is walking distance to Waikiki beach.
