Tower map, there is a new timeshare tower behind Diamondhead, the Grand Islander.

Alii, Rainbow, Tapa, Diamondhead and part of Kalia are hotel rooms.

Thanks Denise but it seems only 2 bed premier has an ocean front. ( no 1 bedrooms..they are ocean view)

I wonder where can I see photos of videos of the 2 bed premier ocean FRONT of the lagoon tower? I am looking online and its very difficult to find it .




It is one of the hotel buildings, and I think there are just hotel rooms - not condos.

Website: http://www.hiltonhawaiianvillage.com/rooms-and-suites/alii-tower

There are ocean front timeshare units in the Lagoon Tower.

Click the "photos" link on their webpage - then scroll over the photo to scroll through the other photos:

The Premier units are on the side of the building that directly faces the lagoon.

The Plus units are on the sides of the building, so they have an angled view of the water.

It just depends on what your priorities are - premier requires more points, so it may or may not be worth it to you.

Some people don't care if they have a view at all - and some are disappointed if they don't have a really good view.

I think you will have a better feel for it after you actually see it in person.

If I read the info correctly the Ali'i and Rainbow Towers are NOT park of HGVC, they are Hilton properties on the resort grounds but you'd need to book with $$ or convert your HGVC to HH points and use them.

Similar to the Big Island where you have the Hilton Waikola Hotel that is separate from the HGVC properties.

I was on 22nd floor in May when I took this early in the am, thats why the lagoon looks so deserted, room 2265. The maint guy had just finished grooming the sand around the lagoon, they do it every morning.

Here are a few more shots going around 180 degrees.

That was taken from a Go Pro on top of Dave's head.

He puts on a Thursday night swan diving exhibition that is not to be missed!

I always prefer ocean view to ocean front. When I look out over the ocean in proportion or relation to the land I get this incredible sense of just how vast the ocean is. I also like to see human activity from my lanai. But this is such a personal preference. I really don't know too many people who would complain about an ocean front view.
