My spouse proposed to me on the oceanfront balcony of HHV Lagoon Tower just about at that 14th floor level on the side facing the marina at sunset about 24 years ago. It was a brand new timeshare then, but that lovely view still haunts me. Makes me still want to run out and buy a Hilton to stay there again.

What a lovely story. I keep a copy of that view on my phone when I want to be cheered up. I think about this view (and St John beaches) when I am in the dentist chair to keep my mind off of what they are doing.

Did you stay in the Lagoon Tower apartments before it became part of HGVC?
Lagoon Tower didn’t open under HGVC until 2001.

Elara 56th floor. Very nice premium 1BR. Apparently this is the top "people" floor and there is a special elevator that goes from 56 (where the model/sales office also lives) to 60 and then all the way down. Most convenient.

Main Balcony looking towards downtown Waikiki and the ocean



Second Balcony off the kitchen looking towards the mountain


We owned 3701 penthouse which faced south to the ocean and east towards diamond head, however we didn't like the wall that split the dining table and the family room so we switched to an 11 unit at it seemed more open to us. You get the diamond head ocean view and then also a view to the north. You lose the big fancy master bathroom but you are in Hawaii all that space is wasted. We love the the unit we have 3811 now. The penthouses are awesome and we take our time in the morning knowing we can go down to the lounge load up some great breakfast food on the tea trays and head back to the room and everyone can spread out.

IMHO, the proper nomenclature for that view would be POS (Palm-tree Obscured Shoreline).

Sadly, the view from this OF room is almost similar to another low floor view posted in this thread.
Below is from a standard one bedroom on the 5th floor (room L568) posted by natarajanv in 2018
