On this trip we took my mother-in-law to Hawaii for her 70th birthday. It was a lifelong wish of hers to visit the Hawaiian Islands.
We have stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village three times since 1995 when we went there for our honeymoon. Every time we go to Hawaii, we include a stay at this resort on our trip and visit another island while we are there.
The resort is in my opinion a world first-class and I always enjoy being back at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The people there are very friendly and there are many shops and restaurants to choose from at the resort. The resort is located on famous Waikiki and is the only resort on Waikiki. The food at their buffet is the best in the world with many fresh fruits and a must-try is the fresh pineapple. You have not tasted fresh pineapple unless you've eaten it on Hawaii.
We stayed in the Kalia tower, which is part of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club, and as an owner of any of their properties, you'll have access to their resorts on the Hawaiian Islands, which is a BIG plus as it's easier to get a reservation there.
