Rent your timeshare
Guests flock to the Lagoon Tower by Hilton Grand Vacations in Waikiki, Honolulu, for its massive suites and unbeatable access to the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon. The vibe is decidedly active and family-centric, often feeling like a bustling village within a resort. While the elevators are notoriously sluggish and service can be slow due to the crowds, the residential-style comfort outweighs the wait. A key insider detail is the free laundry room on every floor, a massive perk that makes handling wet beach gear effortless.
For a 20+ story hotel they do a great job providing an easy experience for a beach-oriented vacation. This hotel is very beach friendly, straight from your room out to the lagoon for a beach towel then enjoy the day. Plenty of nearby bar and grills for food, but definitely recommend taking advantage of your in room fridge, stovetop and oven for quick meals and reheating leftovers. Tap water is very clean so bring bottles and thermos with refill stations nearby. Be prepared to pay premium prices for any activities, chairs/umbrellas, and beach side food/drinks.
