Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu

Aquiles Arrieta 4 weeks ago

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu I’ve stayed at many Hilton properties across the country, including the Hilton Hawaiian Village, DoubleTree Alana Waikiki Beach, The Ambassador Hotel Waikiki (Tapestry Collection), and several other Hilton brands. I can honestly say that Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu is one of the best values in Waikiki. The location is hard to beat. You’re within walking distance of Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Center, restaurants, and the marina, while still being away from the busiest and most crowded parts of Waikiki. The staff was outstanding throughout my stay—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Service like that makes a huge difference and is one of the reasons I’d choose this property again. One of my favorite features is the Friday night Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks show. If you have a poolside or marina-facing room, the view is fantastic without having to fight the crowds. The rooms were another pleasant surprise. They feel more modern, refreshed, and updated than many rooms I’ve stayed in at Hilton Hawaiian Village, including the Tapa Tower and Diamond Head Tower. Compared to several other Waikiki Hilton properties, The Modern Honolulu offers a much more contemporary feel while often coming in at a better price point. If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck in Waikiki, this property is tough to beat. Between the location, updated rooms, excellent staff, marina views, and easy access to everything Honolulu has to offer, Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu has become one of my favorite Hilton properties on Oahu—second only to the Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village for me. I’ll definitely be back on future trips to Hawaii. Highly recommended. — Hilton Diamond Reserve Member 🌺🏝️🌊

We had a fabulous stay in March 2026. We had been to the Modern several times before it became a Hilton Vacations Club location, so we were pleased that many of our favorite parts of the property were intact. SERVICE: The staff at this hotel truly made our stay wonderful. Austin Tamayo specifically was so helpful and kind, providing us with amazing recommendations for spots around the island. The front desk manager was also incredible throughout the stay. From the pool guys to the concierge staff, we will return because of the staff! ROOMS AND SPACE: Rooms are on the smaller side but always very clean and fresh feeling. The beds are pretty hard and not super comfortable, so do keep that in mind if you're a sensitive sleeper. There is a small business center-esque area by the lobby where there are 2 computers and a printer in addition to a section of small tables with outlets nearby. I had to work during the trip and this did the job! ACTIVITIES: Be sure to sign up for the free activities with the concierge. I enjoyed sunrise yoga, but there are also lei making and hula classes that would be fun! POOLS: My favorite part of this hotel is the pools. I love that there are two pools - the main pool and the quieter adult only pool on the upper deck. We were always able to find a spot at either one. LOCATION: Location is fabulous and convenient. Right across from an ABC store, walking distance to restaurants and shops, and a quick bus ride to Ala Moana (get a Holo card). You're also in the perfect place to watch the Friday night fireworks above the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Our stay was overall very nice except for 2 issues... The staff was very friendly and accommodating. When we checked in we were given the room next to the elevator core which made so much noise! Never heard something like that before. It was driving us insane, so we asked to change rooms which the staff did very quickly. Even though they gave us the furthest room on the floor, we could still occasionally hear the elevators but it was so much better and didn’t bother us anymore. The room was nice and spacious but the mattress was not the most comfortable however we still were able to get a good night sleep.

My biggest drive is that the elevators are very loud. They are fast, but 2 rooms away from the elevators we were woken up from their whirling noises thinking construction was going on. If we were in a different room, it would probably be 4 or 5 stars. Otherwise, the hotel is in a good spot with good access stuff and very nice staff. The room itself is nice, but not necessarily the best Hilton rooms we've been in. It is true that the adult pool is more like a tide pool, you would not be able to swim in it.

We had a great stay at Hilton Vacation Club. The service was excellent from check-in to check-out, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed to feel at home. Everything was well maintained, and the property provided a relaxing atmosphere for our vacation. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway.
