[2025 Honolulu Stay] Travel Guide for Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu (Updated Mar)

Hotels along the ocean view of Waikiki, which continues to rise in price, seem to have doubled in price compared to about 5 years ago. However, even though I'm in Hawaii, I absolutely don't want to stay on the canal side lol. I liked the location, which is close to the lagoon where you can see the Hilton fireworks, and where you can easily stop by Ala Moana. And it has a microwave (an important point), so you can store pre-packed rice or side dishes bought at the supermarket in the refrigerator and heat them up the next day! Not only can you save money, but if you're traveling alone like me, you can't order too much at restaurants, so I recommend buying side dishes at the supermarket and eating them. I think a microwave is essential for times like that. One of the hotel facilities I recommend is the pool, which maintains a sense of privacy. You can see the yacht harbor and relax with a nice view. You can exchange two bottles of water at the front desk every day. The staff are friendly, and there are many Western guests, so you can spend an adult vacation 💙

Seafood, ziplining, sunsets, skyscrapers and beeeeach

We came to Hawaii in February, which is the rainy season here. Fortunately, we were lucky and only experienced occasional showers, which made the weather cool and humid. It's true that out of all the islands I've been to, the climate here is the most pleasant. There are many places to take photos in Hawaii, and Waikiki Beach is definitely a must-visit spot for taking pictures and checking in. Photo 1 was taken at the entrance of a community college, with navigation to Kapiolani Community College. There were few people and parking was extremely convenient. The shooting time was around 2-5 pm, with not very strong sunlight and a relatively low angle. The light shone on the tall banyan trees, forming many mottled light and shadow, which could highlight the characters and enhance the atmosphere of the photo. The location for photos 4-7 is a luxury boutique hotel under the Marriott brand. The pink exterior is perfect for taking photos. I chose to shoot between 2-5pm because there are many trees at the hotel entrance, which creates a beautiful dappled effect. Inside the Hawaii botanical garden, it takes about 20 minutes by car from the hotel. The botanical garden is in the mountains, and the climate changes greatly. It often encounters situations where there is a heavy rain for two or three minutes. Unfortunately, we didn't see the sun for two consecutive days, but the scenery was really beautiful. The shape of the mountains is very spectacular. Even if you don't take pictures, it is worth visiting.
