Awesome Beach Hotels You Can Book with Hilton Honors

The Hilton Honors program has undergone quite a few changes lately. They removed the extra “H” from their name, made it easier to pool points with other programs and added a “points and cash” option to reward bookings.

Unfortunately, the Honors program is also severely devalued and people are catching on. There’s nothing worse than earning a huge hotel signup bonus and finding out it’s only good for a single free night at a Hilton hotel.

That said, Hilton still has some pretty amazing properties, including many luxury beachfront hotels and resorts you can book with rewards:

El Conquistador: Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico’s east end is known for its white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, but the El Conquistador has the best beach front of all. This property sits on an expansive cliff with unbelievable views of the water and surrounding islands, its own funicular, water park and private island.

While the size of the property makes it fairly secluded, the El Conquistador offers 23 different on-site restaurants featuring everything from snacks to high-end dining. While rates vary, you can usually book this hotel for around 49,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island: Maldives

You would be hard-pressed to find a more luxurious beach destination than the Maldives, and the island nation’s Hilton property definitely lives up to the hype. This property sits on its own private island, complete with whale sharks, manta rays and a vibrant coral reef nearby.

You can book a beach villa or an overwater bungalow with Hilton Honors points. Nightly rates start at 95,000 points.

Conrad Bora Bora Nui: Bora Bora

French Polynesia is consistently listed as one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. The Conrad Bora Bora Nui holds prime real estate on its private island, offering larger beaches, a crystal-clear ocean, a lagoon and amazing sunset views.

While the Conrad Bora Bora Nui is easily one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, you’ll fork over tons of Hilton points for a free stay. Nightly rates in a lagoon view suite start at 294,000 Hilton Honors points, and you’ll pay considerably more for a premium room.

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino: Aruba

Known as “one happy island,” Aruba is a tropical playground for both kids and adults. Not only does it boast beautiful beaches and amazingly clear waters perfect for swimming and watersports, but it’s the Caribbean’s best gambling spot, too.

The Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino offers a beautiful beachfront location on famous Palm Beach and one of Aruba’s most popular casinos. Most of the time, you can book this hotel for around 57,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Barbados Resort: Barbados

Barbados is a perpetually underrated Caribbean island with so much to see and do. Not only does it have some of the Caribbean’s clearest waters, but its beaches are spectacular. The island’s Platinum Coast has almost no waves most of the time, and you can snorkel from the shore.

Hilton Barbados Resort offers an exceptional value when it comes to redeeming points. The hotel sits right on the beach, offering on-site water sports, balconies in every room and views of nearby UNESCO World Heritage ruins. Best of all, you can book this hotel for as little as 43,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Hilton Curacao: Curacao

Curacao is another Caribbean island that doesn’t get enough attention. This island nation offers beautiful beaches, amazing snorkeling and its own European flair.

Hilton Curacao offers two white-sand beaches, an on-site dive center and infinity pools. You can book this property for as little as 34,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Jewel Paradise Cove Resort & Spa Runaway Bay: Jamaica

Jamaica offers a natural paradise for families with children of all ages to enjoy. The island is well known for its kid-friendly beaches, its hospitality and the safety of its resorts.

Jewel Paradise Cove Resort & Spa offers a beachfront respite with a twist—this property is all-inclusive. With a paid stay using cash or points, you can enjoy lodging plus included food, drinks and activities.

Since this property is adults-only, you’ll need to keep the kids at home. However, it’s still pretty affordable at just 67,000 points per night and up.
