The Grand Islander Hilton exceeded my expectations! The rooms were very clean and we had a great partial view of the ocean! The rooms are very up too date. The staff and the amenities were amazing. Whenever we needed something we just texted the staff & they brought it up right away! The host was also very accommodating and very quick to respond to all of my needs. You can use all of the Hilton amenities, even the other pools located on the other parts of the properties. For my first time at the Hilton, this was a great experience. The location is off the Waikiki strip. It’s a 10-15 minute walk or a 5 min drive if you park in one the parking garages on the strip. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to experience the Hilton first hand!
