Terrible communication. No staff to help. Everyone was on strike. No housekeeping or front desk people. Had to pay $80/day for parking
We stayed through time share at the Grand Islander tower and one night in the Kaila Tower. I’m not happy to have to had pay for parking. You should have that free for people who pay for their stay. I will never be back and won’t recommend anyone to this resort.

There’s strike and no service was provided. Room wasn’t cleaned when I checked in. No room service provided and they put towels on one floor and we had to go there to have new towel. No way to empty trash can. The strike started from 6AM and ended 10PM. We couldn’t sleep because of the noose from strike and even hard to stay in the room. The worst thing is hotel didn’t tell anything about it until I complained it

Worst Hotel Experience – Don’t Waste Your Money !!!
We stayed at this hotel in Hawaii for 8 days, and it was a disaster from start to finish. More than half of the workers were on strike, and they made noise all day long, from 6 AM to 10 PM, EVERY SINGLE DAY. It was impossible to relax with the constant commotion outside.
To make matters worse, our room wasn’t cleaned even once during our entire stay. We had to go down 10 floors just to get basic necessities like towels, toilet paper, and hand soap. Nobody came to take out the trash, so we had to leave it in the hallway ourselves. It took days for the staff to finally pick it up, and during that time, the halls smelled disgusting because of dirty diapers and other trash.
We paid THOUSANDS of dollars expecting a relaxing vacation, but instead, we ended up doing everything ourselves. For the amount we paid, we expected way better service. This was hands down the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs. I do not recommend staying here.

We stayed during the worker strike, which started a day after we checked in and continued well past our check-out (6 night stay). The property itself was fine, no complaint; unfortunately the strike will be the significant memory from our stay. Also, apparently this was the 2nd strike within a very short amount of time; so it seems Hilton needs to get its act together with their employees.
Obviously our stay was impacted by the strike, but overall the striking workers were respectful to the guests; e.g. crossing picket lines, etc. Of course some guests will complain, but the workers have to do what they have to do and I'm in no position to judge.
Main impacts were...
No housekeeping during the strike. The hotel did provide clean towels and linens, but placed them in a room where guests had to fetch themselves. We stayed in the Lagoon tower and each floor had such a room for linens--not sure about other towers. We were in a suite with a kitchen and we did some cooking; so trash started to accumulate very quickly. We had to put our trash out into the hall way and fetch new trash bags ourselves. No big deal, but not a good vibe when hallways are filled with trash bags.
Noise in early mornings and late evenings. Again, workers need to do what they need to do. This meant chanting, mega horns, sirens, drums starting around 7am until around 10pm every day. This woke up my kids and impacted our itinerary since they needed naps in the day.
Others, but going to hit word limit....

This was the first time I stayed at this hotel. The hotel is beautiful and it has a lot of shops, restaurants and amenities within the property. The pool is beautiful and fun for the kids. On the other hand the workers were on strike and we were not notified in advance. When I arrived at the hotel with my elderly parents, daughter and teen nephew/niece we were appalled to see the line for check in. We stayed on line for about an hour after a long flight from NY. When we checked in we were informed that there was no cleaning service and that we have to go to the 12 floor for linens, soap, toilet paper, etc. Due to the constant noise we weren't able to enjoy our stay. We couldn't sleep because the strikers began chanting with loud speakers and drums at 6:00am and ended between 9:30pm-10:30pm every day we were there. We could not sit at the balcony, or relax by the pool because of the noise. The restaurant by the pool was closed so whenever the kids got hungry we have to leave the premises to get food. We were also told that we have to leave the garbage on the hallway which made the hotel looked like a cheap motel. We should’ve been informed of the situation prior to our arrival so we could’ve made an informed decision, but expedia nor hilton contacted us. I wish I could have left a better review but the whole strike ruined our vacation.
