Reserved 3 nights in Lagoon Tower 2br Premier over Xmas week using Club Points. Requested high floor and received third floor unit 0366. Beware that you can hear noise from the gate slamming all day from the pool area below. We asked to move, but they were totally booked. Still enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for the info. This is good to know :cool:

Hmm.. I wonder if they upgraded you to a Deluxe Oceanview since they have a separate booking category for corner rooms :ponder:

I believe they have added new corner room category last year.

We're at Fiesta Americana Cabo. Here is the View from the Balcony today:

Here was the View from the Balcony tonight!

Perfectly clear skies, with great music at the fire pit for the Super Moon Total Eclipse. Then took this shot from the balcony just before the end of the totality phase.

Just checked in to 5th floor 1BR Plus at HGVC Lagoon Tower. Diamond Head side. Would have loved a higher floor, but as only a three night stay, I assume that hurt our priority for assignment. Can't complain through.

Here are two more Views from our Balcony at HGVC Lagoon Tower from tonight - in between the sunset and the fireworks, we were treated to a birds eye view of a private luau with a full Polynesian revue and Tahitian fire dancers on the Great Lawn by the lagoon.

This was or first time at Hilton Hawaiian Village and Lagoon Tower, and it was only a three night stay, but we love the location and will return in the future. On to Kauai tomorrow.

I’m assuming this is an ocean front room, correct?

Yes, “true” oceanfront directly faces the ocean.

From the sticky thread - https://tugbbs.com/forums/index.php...t-affiliated-information.254931/#post-1997661
...Also, the term "ocean view" is used for units at the sides of the building. There are only five true oceanfront units on each floor: the two 3 BR, the 2 BR plus, and the two 1 BR plus units. The regular 1 & 2 BR units are the ocean view units, which can be partial ocean view if not on a higher floor.

Kings' Land 2 BR Plus, 4105. I was surprised to find out that PLUS units were ground floor units. I would not get a plus unit again if it is a ground floor.
