This was the best place to stay. From when you walk in and smell the amazing clean hotel scent, to the best check-in and the housekeeping is the best. They accommodate anything you need and are incredibly kind. Both the Cabo Wabo and Surf Hero Market Place was amazing. Angel who works in the Surf Hero was very kind and helpful. 2 min from the ocean. Would stay here again.

We had a great time. However I had 2 separate delivery people tell me the Hilton wouldn’t let them bring my food to the room. This was annoying bc my food got stolen out of the lobby on the second time I ordered it. The staff acted like it was my fault.

The pool service was not so good. Sat for an hour before drink service came around, and the restaurant service at Cabo was poor. Our order was brought to us wrong and the eggs had to have been out of a carton. It was a holiday weekend and I think short staffed. Stayed there plenty of other times and not an issue. 🙁

Room was clean and hotel was beautiful… stayed in both towers and they seem the same to me… the Dolphin is just more expensive… the only complaints I might have was the horribly loud music from the pool, all day and then the “club” at night… that was not fun… and housekeeping… I was on vacation… they were trying to touch up the room by 9 am and texting asking if they should just skip the room since we were sleeping… umm… no… but I’m going to sleep in on my vacation. Other than those 2 things… it was a great stay!!

I booked the king studio suite. It had a great view, somewhat spacious. The furniture was a little cluttered, as well as old and worn. The decor needs to be updated. The bathroom is small and needs an upgrade. The amenities are pretty basic. I would say the service is 4 star, but the hotel is more of a 3 star. I think I expected a little better considering it was Hilton. Overall I’ll rate it as average.

My special needs son and I had the best stay at the Waterfront Beach Resort. I loved the easy access to the beach and the view from the pool, he loved being able to wander wherever he wanted and do his own thing. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival which was absolutely fantastic! Staff was super friendly and took initiative, anticipating needs. We will definitely return!

The room was not very clean, shower was old and handles loose. Towels were old and not white, mattress had a large wear tear on the corner. Wasn’t up to Hilton standards for sure. Pool was nice and staff there were lovely. Valet team was polite and efficient. Check in staff seemed not happy and quite unhelpful. Likely my last stay at this location.
- 5/5
We loved our time here. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious at the restaurants and the pool. Amazing weekend breakfast buffet with so many options. Plus the gorgeous beach right across the street.
- 4/5
The people were very nice, and I like how they text you to see if you want your room cleaned later if you sleep in. Location was perfect, and the street wasn't loud. The housekeeping kept our room clean but the towels, coffee etc were never replaced, and I'd have to call. In my opinion, the $55 a day parking fee (forced Vallet) feels like gouging when there aren't other options. Upper-end hotels should have it included in the price. I would stay there again unless the Hyatt was a comparable price.

Just the parking litle high prices

We stayed on the 9th floor in a 1br suite. We were down the hall from the rooftop lounge. The good news is the music shuts down at 8:45. The bad news is loud people tromp down the hallway past your room for an hour after that.

This hotel was beautiful. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We could see the ocean from our room and it was just across the PCH. It had its own restaurants, but so close to other great restaurants and shopping. Would definitely recommend
- 5/5
We tried to reserve two lounges in their reserved area with an ocean view for a couple of hours, but it was priced at $250 for two people, which seemed excessive, especially since no one was using them. They should have offered it at half that price; I bet they would have been sold out. We looked at other hotels in the area, and this is a really nice resort. We then went to the other pool, but it was quiet since there was no music. The DJ didn’t show up until Sunday.

Everything about this place was beautiful. There was a photo op everywhere you looked. We stayed for one night and my kids wanted to keep swimming the day we had to check out at 11 AM so I went to the reception and asked if we had to leave the premises and they gave me a key to access the pool held my luggage and told me the car can stay in valet until 10 PM that night. Customer service was always great. I asked for towels in the middle of the night and they brought them to me right away. Im definitely coming back.

Staff, all the way around was wonderful. Property itself, beautiful. Ocean front view, it was there in an expected distance. I had second floor so traffic on PCH was a bit loud, if sliders were open, but again, not unexpected. Not sure if that factor lessened as you elevated. Great restaurants, close by places to explore. Overall, a definite do over!

The pre check in process and check in process is absolutely terrible. I’ve now tried three different times / stays after choosing the Pasea previously to make this property work. It doesn’t and the coordination of rooms and requests isn’t worth the hassle. I am a personal and business traveler of Hilton elsewhere and really wanted this to work but it does not. I requested and pre called multiple days in advance on multiple trips stating our family’s arrival time, a crib for the room for our 8 month old, and a hypo allergenic request. I also booked a premium room with extra living room. None of which were ready or prepared on time on 3 separate stays. I’ve honestly never stayed at a property that had a 4pm check in time to begin with but then to have us check in AFTER 4pm with multiple days notice is wild. We stayed for 2 days as a family and didn’t check in until after 4 on our first night…. That’s basically an entirely paid night wasted. It’s honestly a shame because the staff is great with the exception of the team who prioritize arrivals and requests. I have rated properties globally on behalf of a very trusted organization, and this property would have aggressively failed. The property did extend credits to us after the fact but I wasn’t expecting anything other than what was promised and expected as a guest. We’ll be staying next door at the Pasea and if you’re a traveling family. You probably should as well.

Amazing property with great amenities. This location is perfect for families with spacious suites and comfortable beds. Both pools were great and the menus are well priced. From arrival in valet, to the bell desk helping us load out; we will definitely be back! If Huntington Beach is a stop on your next family trip, book the waterfront!

This property is in a perfect location which is its major advantage above others in the area. There are a couple of restaurants here which are decent. The strip mall is super close as well with food options. They offer many amenities including ability to rent bikes, boogie boards, umbrellas and fire pits on the beach. The staff who checked us in were friendly and helpful! A shoutout to Chez for checking us in and additionally addressing one issue we did have during our stay this trip. Hotel is relatively close to the airport (25mins) and walkable to the pier and other Main Street attractions. The room we booked is perfect for our family and the pools are great.

We booked an oceanview room and when we checked in, it was on the 3rd floor and blocked by all the palm trees...no view. They moved us on the 3rd night to higher floor and it was much better but we only got to enjoy it for one night. That new room had brown water coming out of the shower, no conditioner and no waste basket liner. The towels were like sandpaper. It really did not feel like a luxury hotel at all.

The hotel was good just did not meet what I was expecting.
- 1/5
Got an upgrade from a 1 bed garden view to king suite dolphin tower with ocean view for 250 per night. What they fail to tell u is all the other fees involved. Also, during our 5 day stay the room was not made up twice. Toilet paper and tissue paper was not refilled at all. Management refuses to acknowledge it and kept on saying we had the so not disturb sign on which is totally false. If u wat a relaxful day at the beach and come back to a clean suite this is not the place customer service is one of the lowest for all the hiltons I've been at. Be very careful and think twice before booking if you don't want headaches.

Location is excellent, beautiful property. However, our coffee machine did not work properly. We simply wanted hot water, but it didn't work doing that. Also, there was construction somewhere above our room. Sounded like a hammer drill. Went on for hours. We were there in the off season. Not sure we got the full experience. We stayed there while attending the Expo West show and some vacation. Not sure we got an office season rate. Didn't think about it until I thought about it.

Construction blocking the driveway without notice to the Valet team? On a Saturday night? The absolute worst arrival experience Ever! Trapped by cars in front and behind, driveway divided lengthwise and blocked at midpoint, right at the lobby Entry by phony looking barricades. No one was going anywhere while some unskilled driver went back and forth across the T, Trapped!! Desperate for the “loo” after a long drive! This situation was unfolding at ~10 PM on a Saturday night, with lots of people suddenly unable to retrieve their cars from the valet, nor could anyone arrive. Full Stop. Total fiasco! I believe I was awakened about 4 AM by jackhammers inside the hotel with the same mismanaged construction people. All the Hilton employees were great, very professional, including the valets in terms of their demeanor, having to deal with a construction fiasco!!!

The staff was welcoming and we loved the location! The only couple of downers were being woken up at 7am by our next door lodgers loudly singing happy birthday to someone in their party. As much as we would’ve loved to congratulate the birthday person, we would’ve really appreciated an extra hour of sleep on our vacation. We were able to appreciate their happiness until they left their room three hours later 😅. Also with a car event hosted by local police outside, we were able to hear loud revving from cars all the way until the event ended at 3pm. All’s to say, thicker walls would’ve been a really welcome feature. Lastly, we were also told that in-room dining was open until 10pm. We ordered food on our last night and when I called at 8:50 to add a dessert to our order we were told we’d likely be putting staff out, as they would be closing at 9:30. If there were different hours, we misunderstood, but maybe a “last-call” time reminder somewhere would’ve been appreciated. Otherwise, beautiful property and overall mostly satisfactory stay.

We have stayed here multiple times and love it. Great location, great facilities. Restaurants and bars are awesome. The location is right on the strip, and you can walk everywhere. The view of the ocean is awesome. Highly recommend this place

The beach was beautiful but much farther than expected. They were also preparing for the airshow, so there was a lot of construction between our view and the water.

Great location, friendly staff and very clean and lots of amenities. Not a fan of the excessive fees, like the $40 per night and $55 parking per day.

We also weren’t impressed with the valet service—not because of the staff, but the price. It felt excessive for a single overnight stay. On a positive note, we did enjoy the food at Cabo Wabo near the pool area. The atmosphere was nice, and the meals were good. All in all, while the location is great, the experience didn’t justify the cost. I’m not sure we’d return based on this stay.

Everything was great just except on the check out cleaning ladies were knocking in my door at nine in the morning which checkout was at 11. I understand that it was a busy Labor Day weekend, but didn’t find that cool at all.

A beautiful resort with the beach just quick walk across the street. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Lots of chairs at the pools, pool service, the rooms were tastefully decorated and clean. Beautiful artwork is located throughout the resort. I would definitely come back. It is a lot closer than Hawaii and the location to the beach makes it a great choice for a quick sunny getaway.

The “Offshore” restuarant offered delicious options, cocktails, and the view of the ocean was amazing! They even offered blankets once it got cool. The retractable roof and wall to wall windows felt like such a high-end amenity. Our server Beth was so friendly and attentive. Memorable experience!

The front desk staff are unhelpful, dishonest, and disrespectful to customers — especially the man whose name I don’t know because he tried to hide it with his body.

Great place to stay. Rooms were not sound proof especially first floor with kids being loud. I still had a good time with my toddler. Parents, please bring a radio sound for your toddler to sleep uninterrupted at night!

Close to the beach. Has decent options for vegans. Great hotel overall!

I loved how close it was to the beach and the shopping. What I didn't like were the hidden fees we were hit with at check-in that tied up our funds during our stay.

The staff was good other than the front desk. Not sure why this property does deposits for EVERY night you’re there. Asinine. Then you charge the room and it’s not taken out of the deposit. Anyway other than that good property to stay and amenities.

The property is amazing. Only thing that would be nice if valet wasn’t mandatory and had an additional charge. If it’s mandatory let’s include it in the fee for the stay…

The staff especially the housekeeping staff members were the kindest most caring and welcoming people. I always feel like I am at home when we stay here. Beyond beautiful. Great pools and beach across the street and maybe great restaurants and stores in walking distance.

Few key points to remember. Pet friendly Music at the pool Drinks / full bar We stayed in the dolphin tower - room was ocean view it was beautiful and worth the price Pool is fun, if you get the special pool chairs with the view/s, it is only until 5pm we were not told that. Pool is normally open until 9/10pm. We had to move the entire family and pool stuff at 5pm It is expensive. only two restaurants in the actual resort You will have to valet your car they do charge you for everything the baby crib is not a crib it was a play bin-

We had a great experience at The Waterfront Beach Resort. The room was spacious and comfortable for our family of three and we enjoyed the pool, Cabo Wabo restaurant, and used the valet service a lot. I also used the fitness room which was great for strength training and running on the treadmill. The location is awesome, across from the ocean and just 5 minutes away from dining and shopping.

Staff was friendly, location is perfect, pool areas are beautiful. Room was cozy and décor in the hotel and room was cute. Only complaint is that the room we stayed it really needs a deep clean or a little updating. It was surprising a little dirty and the sheets and pillows also smelled. Other than that the view from our room was really nice. Overall a nice stay, would stay again.
- 5/5
Great Property. Valet was quick and efficient, Unlike all the other reviews. The property was across the street from Huntington Beach. Easy, and quick access to the beaches. unfortunately, the beach supplies were in short demand and they never had a boogie board at all. The staff said they only carried three or four. So much for the resort fee.

I wish there was someone that gave a tours .. I was so lost.. also mybmirror stopped working and my espresso machine never worked. But besides that it was great

Loved the location and proximity to the beach. The area was walkable and clean. I felt the fitness center could have been better equipped, but that may be me. It did have two pools and service was great. Staff at front desk wasn’t the warmest, but valet staff was excellent. The cafe’s staff was also very friendly. Sink was very slow to drain and service to room was basic. Not a lot of going above and beyond. I would stay again.

Even though the hotel was super busy they were very accommodating to our needs. The view was amazing and the beach had a very easy access. My kids had a lot of fun at the pool. Only thing I was disappointed was that there were blue berries on the side of the couch when we checked in which I think the housekeeper didn’t notice. Overall very kid friendly hotel

Really enjoyed this place. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the pool with views of the beach. Right across from PCH so easy walk to the beach. Only about a 10 min walk to the pier. The pool are area was very nice. Had plenty of lounge chairs and food and drink service. The food at the cabo wabo cantina was very good. I know the rooms are a little pricey but you do get what you're paying for. Hotel staff was also very friendly and accommodating.
