Food was also soft/juicy. Tried everything from the 3 Meat Plate (brisket, sausage [weekends only], pulled pork, with mac & cheese/rice), loaded tots with pulled pork, the brisket chili, pulled pork sliders, shave ice. If there is anything you should try, I really liked the BRISKET, SAUSAGE (weekends only), the BRISKET CHILI, SHAVE ICE. Its worth mentioning the loaded tots were all crispy and delicious down to the last bite. The meat/food taste was just right with the amount of flavoring, spice, and texture. To level/change up the taste, you can also use the delicious sauces and if you had to pick any, pick the Honey Mustard one & Spicy (which was barely spicy). The shave ice is really good too because the ice is soft like biting into a cold cloud. The flavors are limited but you still find at least 2 good flavors (all you really need). Cashier was very nice with typical take our service. I tried other highly rated BBQ places in town which I found food to be over seasoned/salty or too spicy. This place is just right for everything. Food area is in tropics mini golf and you can get food without playing any golf. If you on the sidewalk passing it, you can smell the cooking. A hidden gem in Aiea for food and/or dessert. If I am craving BBQ or dessert and nearby I will definitely be stopping by again.

The space is small but has a lot of holes to pass through. Yes, it was busy and we had to wait for every hole in front of us to be free but that was expected based on it being a rainy day and we could clearly see when we started how many people were there so we knew what we were in for. Even so, the kids still had fun and everyone gets a prize at the end too (in our case it was a light up ring)! The place was clean and seems to be up-kept. We'd been previously when it wasn't as busy also had a great experience. Highly recommend for all ages.

The course is fun and a little different in a good way. It starts off with a few par 3s, which keeps things interesting, then opens up nicely as you go. It's well laid out and enjoyable whether you're playing seriously or just out to have a good time. The putting green and driving range are a big plus too--everything you need is right there. Honestly, we don't need no stinking Topgolf when you've got a setup like this. Always a good time here, and definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

But I'll say this... the rough is no joke. The front desk lady warned us, "if you're not on the fairway, good luck," and she meant it. If your ball goes off, be prepared to really search for it. Aside from that, we had a great time and played pretty well. The overall vibe was relaxed, and it still felt like a fun experience rather than overly stressful. We also ordered food and drinks -- got the club sandwich with fries, and for golf course food it was actually really good and filling. Drinks were solid too. Overall, I'd recommend it if you want a course with great views and don't mind a bit of a challenge.

Ayce breakfast package. Breakfast is nothing great. Every single day it's just rice, sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, oatmeal, miso soup, bagel/ toast, yogurt and fruits and sometimes bacon (once a week). Fruits are always the same. Pineapple and melons. Got real sick of the same stuff everyday. But if you ordered food off the menu, it's pretty good. We did order breakfast once. We also did order room service and food came up pretty fast. Some issues we had: After checking in and unpacking we were leaving and checked our door to ensure it's locked and realized it doesn't lock. So we had maintenance come and fix the door. The next day it happened again not sure what happened but again it didn't lock. Maintenance came by and took a look and they fixed it while we were gone. A bit inconvenience. Mini fridge in the room is terrible. Very small and it doesn't stay cold for very long. There's a button that says you can turn it on cold for two hours and another button that says snooze for 24 hours. So your drinks barely get cold or your food like poke will most likely go bad. Pool and hot tub are always nice and clean. Has a little mini golf area. It is usually windy since it's on the 10th floor. The house keeper lady that cleaned our room on the 32nd floor was super nice. I used the laundry room once and it had 4 washers and 4 dryer. Nice and spacious enough. Definitely not busy at all.

BEWARE!!! The ONLY thing this venue has going for it is the view: and if you are on the side with…read moreno ocean view be prepared for a significant "rip off" experience. I'm literally giving this place two stars instead of one because we had a beautiful view. Here's the details: 1. Paid extra for breakfast and it was a bad experience all the way around: 15-30 min wait EVERY DAY to get in. Inconsistent staff: from bossy and entitled to a helpful and kind. Food was awful - the very basics and this is from a "real Hilton"??!! It's supposed to be better than Embassy suites right? Bottom line: the breakfast venue is way too small for a hotel of this size. Food choices are very basic and too many nickel-and-dime corner-cutting management choices: very small coffee cups, you have to ask for a pitcher of coffee, bowls are very small, they won't give you to-go paper coffee cup, signs up that say if you take anything out you get charged $1.99 for their "Green fee"? GTFOH!!! I paid almost $12k to stay here! If I want to bring a few bagels for the road deal with it. We ended up bringing in our own coffee cups, and making up lies at the Starbucks counter to get a to-go cup... Can you believe that? 2. They had an arcade room full of scam claw machines! So awful... poor kids dumping $15-20 a day trying to grab a 10-cent stuffy - really? Is that Hilton's best option at providing wholesome entertainment for children? Every game should have been free play and zero claw games. 3. Towel machines everywhere with signs that say if you don't return your towels you'll be charged! More insulting ghetto verbiage that just points to ignorant clueless management. At these prices and resort expectations, I absolutely do not need to ever read that crap: staff should be waiting and serving - not barking rules and consequences. 4. Worthless concierge desk! I asked the concierge desk how to get to the Dole Pineapple Plantation and they had no idea what it was! That's like being at a five star hotel in Paris, being told they don't know how to get to the Eiffel Tower. 5. Everything requires a key card! It's a real pain in the a$$! They sure have plenty of hotel security: what the hell are they doing? Literally, you have to use a key card to go into the elevator, to get to the pool, to even open the lobby bathroom, to get towels for the pool! Honestly, I don't care if every resort is like this: it's just really poor customer service. 6. Every day there was a magician in the lobby pandering people to see a magic trick and then sell you on a $75 ticket to an hour magic show at the resort!! Again, REALLY?? Dumb nickel-and-dime cheap tricks to lure kids into over priced activities that should just be part of the "resort experience" - Hawaii already requires an expensive daily resort fee that every hotel charges... So what the hell are we getting for that fee! 7. Body wash, conditioner, and shampoo dispensers in the room showers dribbled out little droplets... May not seem like a big thing, but at every corner of this venue experience was cheap, nickel-and-dime poor management tricks that were not at all what we expected from a four star listed "Hilton resort". 8. Last note: there are TWO Hilton resorts both with very similar names, marketing images, and in close proximity to each other. This one: "Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa" and the other one: "Hilton Hawaii Village Beach Resort". I spent about 5 hours searching resorts and I thought I was picking the other one - I'm no idiot, but after so long comparing, it was too easy of a mistake. I think the Hawaiian village, might've been a better choice for smaller kids... But ultimately I'm guessing most of the complaints would've been the same. I'll never stay here again.

However, on my most recent trip, I decided to try the Hyatt Regency, thinking the lounge access and more resort-style atmosphere might be a better fit for my elderly parents. We booked three rooms for our family, and I can confidently say that this stay completely changed my perspective and that is largely thanks to Grace at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, Grace went above and beyond to make sure our check-in experience was seamless and welcoming. Traveling with elderly parents can sometimes be challenging, but she handled everything with such patience, warmth, and genuine care. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, thoughtfully ensuring that our rooms were convenient and comfortable for everyone in our group. What truly stood out was her ability to make us feel valued not just as guests, but as people. Her professionalism was matched by her kindness, and it was clear she takes great pride in creating a positive experience for those she helps. She anticipated needs we hadn't even expressed and handled every detail with ease and grace. Because of her exceptional service, what was meant to be a one time stay at the Hyatt Regency has completely changed my preference moving forward. Grace's hospitality exceeded all expectations and made our trip that much more memorable. It's rare to encounter someone who leaves such a lasting impression, but Grace absolutely did. She is a true asset to the Hyatt Regency, and I sincerely hope she receives the recognition she deserves. I will definitely be returning and recommending this property to others because of her.

Unfortunately, the first…read moretwo days of our trip were heavily impacted by severe weather--it was raining cats and dogs and apparently the worst storm in decades. During that time, the property experienced a loss of power and water, and the elevators were not working, which made things quite challenging. That said, once the weather cleared, we were able to appreciate what the hotel had to offer. We had booked two adjoining oceanfront rooms, and the view was beautiful when the skies opened up. Waking up to the ocean right outside our window made it all worthwhile. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the front desk, maintenance team, and all the staff members we interacted with were all very friendly and really helpful despite the difficult circumstances. Their positive attitude made a big difference in our stay. The location is def a huge plus, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, making it super convenient. The pool is a bit small and tends to get crowded, but it was heated, which was nice, and we really enjoyed the SWIM bar and restaurant. The food and drinks there were surprisingly good but they have a new menu so I was disappointed I didn't get to try some of the items I saw on the Yelp reviews . Overall, the service, location, and beautiful oceanfront views made our stay very enjoyable.
