We have stayed at Hokulani before and will stay again. It's perfect, not too busy, easy to access everything, very walkable around town with tons to do and places to eat. Easy 1/3 mile walk to the beach. We cant wait to come back! - John 3:17

Located above Dior so you can expect some level of nosiness from the street. The views were okay and as was the service. The room was clean and updated, better than most other timeshare properties. Parking was a real problem as the parking lot attendant gave me only 15 minutes to check in, drop off the luggage and settle my family in the room. The same was true when I checked out as there was no bell hop at the bell booth on the first floor by Beachwalk, and eventually we found one and had to keep my rental car running while waiting for the bags to brought down. So potential guests need to be aware of the arrivimal and departure challenges.

9+ Years and Still Our Favorite! We’ve been staying at Hokulani for over 9 years, and it continues to be our all-time favorite hotel in Waikiki. You simply can’t find another place like this—it’s spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. The suites are big, well-equipped, and perfect for families. What truly sets Hokulani apart is how thoughtful and family-friendly the entire experience is. Every time we return, it feels like coming home. The staff are always warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is peaceful yet close to everything. We will definitely be back again next year. Thank you Hokulani for always making our stay feel special

Our honeymoon stay at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club Hokulani Waikiki Honolulu was simply amazing. From the moment we arrived, the service was beyond impeccable. Whether interacting with valet, housekeeping, or the front desk, every employee was friendly, professional, and attentive. They greeted us warmly in the hallways, offered assistance whenever needed, and responded swiftly and promptly to any requests we made. Their hospitality truly enhanced our overall experience. We loved the room. While somewhat small, it was thoughtfully designed and very manageable. We were impressed by how efficiently the hotel maximized the space without making it feel cramped. The bathroom was especially impressive. Ours featured a spacious, modern shower (no tub, which was perfectly fine for us), updated amenities, and a mirror with a built-in television—a unique and luxurious touch that we thoroughly enjoyed. The pool area on the 16th floor was another highlight. It features a bar, pool, jacuzzi, and first-come, first-served cabanas. The views from the top floor are incredibly relaxing and add tremendous value to the stay. Additionally, the hotel’s location is ideal, with convenient access to shops, restaurants, and many nearby attractions, making it easy to explore and enjoy Waikiki. The only downside was exiting the parking garage when using valet services. Due to heavy traffic and frequent pedestrian crossings, it could be difficult at times to pull out onto the street. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall outstanding experience. This is a fantastic hotel, and if you choose to stay here, you are in for a real treat. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Honolulu.

Currently staying here and am extremely impressed. Beautiful resort, lovely 1 bd suite with a cute little kitchen and a huge bathroom with a shower and standalone bath tub. The service has been nothing shy of amazing. Outstanding hotel staff - from front desk, bellman to technician everyone went above and beyond. There are many Hilton timeshares within 3 miles radius but this one is becoming our fave b/c it has it all - beautiful rooms, close proximity to beaches, restaurants , shopping and a lovely staff! Highly recommended!
