Lagoon Tower, A Hilton Grand Vacations Club

The Resort and Setting

Lagoon Tower, A Hilton Grand Vacations Club is a Honolulu property within the Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio, offering deeded or points-based vacation ownership in one of Hawaii's busiest and most established resort markets. As an HGVC resort, it follows Hilton's standard ownership structure of fixed weeks, floating weeks or Club Points, depending on how the original contract was sold, and it carries the brand's usual management and reservation systems.

Honolulu and the South Shore

Honolulu needs little introduction: it's Hawaii's capital and the gateway to Oahu, built around Waikiki's hotel strip and beach. Waikiki Beach itself is about 3 km from the resort, with Diamond Head State Monument and its hiking trail roughly 4 km away, and the Honolulu Zoo a similar distance. Further out, Pearl Harbor National Memorial (about 10 km) is a popular stop for its WWII history, Ala Moana Center (around 5 km) is one of the largest open-air shopping centres in the world, and Koko Head Regional Park (about 12 km) offers coastal hiking and snorkelling for those willing to drive a little further.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Lagoon Tower and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list your week or points for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay only a one-time listing fee.

Before you price your week, factor in Hilton Grand Vacations' resale costs. According to Hilton Grand Vacations' fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, a resale transfer involves a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee and a $102 estoppel fee (these were $715, $489 and $99 respectively in 2025, so costs are rising annually). HGV's club rules also note that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, which brokers report typically runs 30 days — worth factoring into your sale timeline.

Transfer timing varies: brokers typically quote 4–6 weeks on the faster end, though some transfers can take 60–120 days to fully close, so both buyers and sellers should allow some lead time.

It's also important that resale buyers understand what they're getting. Purchasing a resale Lagoon Tower week does not include access to HGV Max, comes with only limited Hilton Honors conversion and no automatic elevated Honors status, and excludes Open Season booking benefits. None of this prevents a resale purchase from being a sound way to secure Honolulu vacation time — it simply means buyers should go in with accurate expectations rather than assuming resale ownership mirrors a developer purchase.

This resort is RCI affiliated, so owners can exchange their week or points through the RCI network for stays at other RCI resorts — worth highlighting for buyers who want flexibility beyond Honolulu itself.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters and buyers researching Lagoon Tower typically want to know about travel dates and seasonality, proximity to Waikiki Beach and the airport, and whether the unit is a fixed week, floating week or points-based. When listing a rental, include your unit size, view category if known, and exact travel dates — these are the details renters search for first. If you're buying resale, ask the current owner or Hilton Grand Vacations directly for the up-to-date annual maintenance fee, since this is a recurring cost not covered by the one-time transfer fees above.
