This hotel is awesome, depending on which building and which rooms you get. Some rooms have great views, the one I got didn't, however, that didn't really hamper my experience with the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I loved the lobby. The tropical penguins and flamingos in the lobby is something special. You don't see that in a lot of the other hotels. They amenities are great, towels for the beach, bar close by, the sand on the beach is a little coarse, compared to the Sheraton's (each hotel on Wakiki buys their own sand). Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here
