Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
The safety we felt in the facility. The smiling faces which we were greeted with at every touch point. The extra steps of someone hitting the elevator door for us when our hands were full, to the overall feeling of being relaxed.

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort
Room was nice. Hotel was nice. In a great location. I disliked that kids were not allowed use floaties in the pool. Even when there was a private adult only pool.
