Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
There is no need to leave this resort. Everything is here from restaurants to ABC store to shopping. Everyone is warm and friendly and the location is so convenient from beach and walking distance in minutes to Waikiki. All the things my family wanted was so close by via walking or drive.

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
Everything was great other than the nearby construction on the building behind the property that started early each morning and was very noisy. I know that is out of the control of this hotel but good to note if you are looking for a quiet place to stay
