Very good location and the rooms are comfortable. The hotel rates are on the higher side, and there is no on-site parking—guest parking costs $75 per day. Many facilities are shared with neighboring hotels. There are plenty of shopping options nearby, but prices—especially for jewelry—tend to be higher, so it’s worth comparing before buying. A general grocery store is conveniently located very close to the hotel.
My Learning:
If you plan to rent a car, don’t rent it for more than two days. Also, consider renting from nearby hotels or local rental locations—they offer much cheaper rates.

Stayed here a few days in November. Room and maid were great, but that is where it ended. Concierge and Valet staff were rude, there was a line when I wanted to check out, waited 15 min and it hadn't moved and no one else came to help. Gave up after that and just dropped my key off. There are VERY Poor maps and signs making it difficult to find your way around. The Hotel page on the TV only showed a picture of the room, no information, causing us to miss the fireworks. There was also what appeared to be a homeless person walking in the hotel (not sure), but there are NO securities in place to prevent this. Not once did I need my key but for my room, so everywhere is open to the public.

Family Fun Spot!! There is so much on this property. The room was spacious and a great view. There is so many shops, restaurants and activities going on at this resort. The Tropics Bar and grill has a great breakfast. Ask for Brian A. He saved us with a wonderful suggestion. Thank you Brian with an A. Full concierge service to help you with anything you would like to do. You really have no need to leave. But you should see more of the island. So much to do and see. But this as home base!! Can't go wrong. The beach on this property is amazing. My only issue was with the parking. We could not get our key to work in the garage. It took a day and three key changes to get the gates going in and out to work. But the property and the employees are great. One snafu did not spoil the experience.
Hotel staff and customer service could have been better. The hotel itself was nice. The amenities were great and the beach was very clean and pretty.
Hilton staff knocked aggressively on my door and at 9:30pm, we had called 5 hrs prior to report that the seal between the toilet and floor was causing a slight smell in the bathroom. It was not an emergency. We explained that my husbands a plumber and we knew what the problem was. When I answered the door I told them to come back tomorrow that my husband and I are sleeping, they told me it poses a threat to the hotel. I said NO, it's not an emergency, my husband's a plumber and I can assure them it's not. They insisted I was wrong.
If it poses a threat why did they wait 5 hrs to send hotel maintenance? Regardless I was in my nightgown, they came in to my room, and didn't fix anything. I have a very hard time going back to sleep. (It was 3:30am Virginia time, And we were trying to adjust to Hawaii time.)
Housekeeping cleaned our room one time during our week stay, I feel at minimum they should come by 2 times and at least empty the trash cans at a hotel that is 500+ per night.
