Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
We always have the best time here! It’s a larger resort with everything you need and right on the beach. I wish they did a bit more for the New Year’s Eve event but there were a ton of things to do and see in walking distance. Once again we had a great time in Hawaii!

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach
The staff were really nice. The hotel is located near great restaurants and easy access to the beach. The parking is a nightmare and very expensive.
