    Beautiful morning
    Marina B.

    One of the best experiences we had at this hotel. Outrigger Beachcomb Hotel is one of the best at Waikiki. The location was superb, right in the middle of everything, yet still managed to be calming and relaxing. The staff was wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable. Very accommodating and caring. If anytime I go back to Hawaii that will be my stop again for sure. Rooms are nice and spacious, clean and had balcony which were an amazing bonus. Outrigger has few hotels there but our Beachcomber one was the absolute best, had an amazing coffee shop right on the first floor by the pool with wonderful employees and fresh food. Those Açaí Smoothies were a top notch yumminess. Miss the hotel and Hawaii, Waikīkī already. Never felt so much calm and kindness, the Earth just rests there with pride and kindness. That was my feeling and I will hold on to that every time I feel stressed at our busy and crazy streets of Los Angeles great just great experience at the wonderful resort/hotel

    I had a great experience at Beachcomber. I came to Waikiki for a wedding at the Wayfinder and I wanted to stay somewhere close but closer to the beach and a little more upscale. It's just a 7 minute walk to Wayfinder which is located behind this hotel close to the canal. I decided to make the most of my experience and got an ocean view on the 19th floor. It was beautiful! There are some hotels in between you and the ocean but you still see the beach and water. I preferred vintage coffee across the street over the aroma coffee in the lobby. The lowest ac setting was 65 and it felt much hotter. So I had trouble sleeping the first night. I called and they came and overrode the setting to be at 60, they said that's for VIPs. Lol. After that it was just right not too cold but not too hot. The circus du soleil is located in the lobby. Next time I'll probably stay at a different hotel due to the price plus the additional $300 resort fee charged at the end. Especially since I don't use any of the resort benefits: pool, gym etc. But it was a great first time in Waikiki experience.

    CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ʻAUANA

    I came here to see the CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ʻAUANA show. Once you find the open area that has a giant and long escalator, that's the entrance. After you ride that up to the lobby area, they have some different stores. They had a bar, food place, help center, and then the theater. They sold popcorn at the bar and it was $10+ for a tiny box. It was ok popcorn, in my opinion not worth $10. The person at the help desk was extremely helpful. My mom needed help getting the ticket pulled up and he immediately knew where to look. Then the show before us was running late or something because the doors we're supposed to open a hour early but didn't open until like 10 minutes before so we had to wait a long time in a non moving line. When we actually got to the theater the sound was really good and there was lots of seating. The show was exactly 90 minutes as advertised but did feel longer. There were lots of exciting parts that kept it moving and it was very entertaining. There were some more boring (in my opinion parts) that led to 2 of our 5 members falling asleep around the middle of the show.

    With this marking the sixth one I've stayed at and, unintentionally, maintaining my streak of staying at a different hotel every time I visit Honolulu (including the time I stayed at four on the same trip), it would seem I'm on my way to staying at every hotel in Waikiki. Ridiculously far from the worst thing in life, but I have to admit to feeling a bit like Goldilocks, as if in search of the hotel that feels just right. However, after this most recent trip, Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber might also mark the end of my streak! Based on my past experiences, among the things that we prioritized in our search for a hotel, beyond the usuals like cleanliness and value, was a newer/more modern property, a central location, a room with a balcony, and a decent sized pool. Thankfully, booking through Costco Travel provided us with a great value and the Beachcomber took care of nearly everything else. On-site, there are a couple of restaurants (a Hawaiian Aroma Caffe and Maui Brewing Company), a fitness center, coin-operated laundry room, a concierge desk that can help you book activities, valet parking (more below), sunrise yoga classes, a swimming pool with hot tub and "dive-in" movie nights, and even a Cirque de Soleil show. However, by far and away, the best thing about this place is its location - not only does it sit right on Kalakaua, but it's practically in the heart of it, with everything just a short walk away. Next door is a Macy's and the International Marketplace, across the street is the Royal Hawaiian Center, beach access is half a block away, and there are even more restaurants and retail shops in every other direction. As for our OCEAN VIEW KING ROOM, aside from some relatively minor quibbles, it was great! We had more than enough space for our needs and it came with all of the necessities - comfortable bedding/pillows, strong AC, stable Wi-Fi, a balcony with a table and chairs, fridge, and the usual staples (safe, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, soap dispensers, etc.). Sadly, the view of the ocean is only partial (we had to step onto the balcony and turn), but we spent most of our time on beaches anyways and the view of the International Marketplace/cityscape wasn't bad. Otherwise, other than the table inside being kind of small and how water would occasionally seep through a gap in the shower door, our room exceeded our expectations! Now, in the interest of fairness, I have to admit my rating might not have been as generous if not for the deal we got through Costco Travel. Between the pricing, the resort fees being waived, and the complimentary breakfast vouchers, we got a much better bang for our buck. That said, even if we had paid more, the staff made up for a lot, too. All of the front desk workers were so warm and friendly and the guys at the valet were dope. It's awesome how, once you've gotten a valet ticket, they will always have a space for you, even when their signage indicates the lot is full. However, what I really appreciated is how the guys offered to let us keep our car there even after we had checked out so that we wouldn't have to move our car elsewhere! One thing that I did find a bit unfortunate was that, despite having a water refill station in the lobby, they don't offer complimentary water bottles like how some hotels do to avoid guests from having to buy single use water bottles. Also, parking isn't cheap (~$55 per day), but it's pretty much the going rate for all hotels in Waikiki. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here the next time I'm on Oahu...and I will most definitely be back!

    Partial ocean view from our room

    We decided to do a staycation for our anniversary and picked this hotel. Why? The kama'aina rate was good with no resort fee and 1/2 rate off parking. Auana Cirque Du Soleil is in the same hotel as is Maui Brewing Company. Plus, across the street is the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, International Market Place is next door, and Waikīkī beach is a little walk away. We got a room with a partial ocean view. The room needed a little love, but nothing to make me not appreciate being there. The pool is small for the hotel size, but you can always walk to the beach. Overall, glad we picked this hotel.

    the additional parking if it is full.
    Lisa V.

    the manager Arin is amazing!!! she was able to let me do a cash deposit to check in because my card was max for the day lol. thank you sooo much for that!!! i had two rooms booked for my family. she was also able to put on same floor at check in. only problem we occurred is the valet parking was full and it being $55/day is let down. we had to find the additional parking lot, and doing so damaged our car in the process. "Waikiki parking garage" is what you should search for instead of typing in the address the guy sent. it will navigate you towards the the parking across street instead. the coffee/bar store is located in the lobby. happy hour is 12-6 so thats nice. i came after 6 so for two drinks it was $47! i asked again if that was correct, and i opt out and bought one lol. thats club drink prices!

    "Ocean View" from inside the room, straight on

    "Deluxe Ocean View" room is a joke... if this is "deluxe," I'd hate to see how small their non-deluxe rooms are. If this is their interpretation of "ocean view," I'd hate to see what the partial ocean view rooms could possibly see if they maybe hung off the balcony. The noise from the air conditioning units from a nearby building was pervasive as soon as the balcony door was opened. Zero ocean sounds. They had four elevators but somehow each elevator was always packed to the brim and stopped at many floors where people chose not to squeeze in. Other than that, the location is very central and convenient, with Duke's Waikiki just across the street, International Marketplace right next door, and the Cirque du Soleil show 'Auana right in-house. The desk staff were very competent and friendly too. The room itself was cleanish... but could have been cleaner. My sink wasn't completely clean when I checked in, and there was a piece of baseboard molding in the bathroom area that had cracked off and not been replaced/repaired. Overall it's decent, but I wouldn't stay here again. Would probably choose another hotel nearby. Maybe the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach across the street.

    Right across from the beach and tons of shopping near by. This is a great central hotel in Waikiki. Less than 5 min walk to the beach, great views if you have an ocean view room. Pool and gym are small, but you're near the beach, so lounge at the pool during down time but go enjoy the beach. You can check towels out (as many as you need) and take them to the beach elsewhere so that's a monster plus. This hotel is home to the new Cirque Du Soleil show, Auana. We didn't check it out but I kinda wish we had a few more days here to do so. There's a cafe/restaurant and a lot of the time, your reservation will include bfast vouchers, which includes a breakfast item and a drink, or you can upgrade some items for a few dollars. There's so much to eat nearby, and we used the vouchers for to go meals when we would venture out away around the island, but good food options. Like I said...Lots of shopping near by, the international market place is right next door and the last remnants of the Int'l marketplace vendors are right along the street next to the hotel. Service - staff is super friendly here and everything we needed we got with a smile. Parking - Valet only if you have a car, but they get your car very quickly when you're coming in and out. Loved our stay here and would DEF come again. Again, amazing location and overall a good hotel.

    Our timing wasn't very good, given that this hotel is undergoing a major renovation. There was no lobby so to speak. Yes, there was a check in desk. The front desk staff was friendly. The room was really large, but dated-- hence, why I'm sure the renovations are happening. I really appreciated the shower that could be hand held. Big plus! The location is perfect! You are right across the street from the International Marketplace. Walk 5-10 minutes in either direction to find parks and other major hotels on the beach. One thing we learned-- do not expect Happy Hours anywhere on Waikiki! I asked and was given a horrified look like "are you nuts"?! We booked through Costco Travel (highly recommend) where we got coupons for daily breakfast or lunch buffet at Duke's. We never did eat at Duke's for dinner, since the it seemed super busy. You have to make reservations WEEKS in advance, which we didn't. We were disappointed that we paid for the Voyager 47 Club benefits, only to find out that it's closed until October 2026. Costco Travel reimbursed us the $200 a day we paid for that, so we were happy.

    5 stars for the LOCATION - It's in the middle of everything, close to the beach, International Market, Royal Hawaiian Shopping & Stix! It's next to Duke's Lane market and an ABC. Cirque du Soleil Auana is on site which makes it so convenient. 3 stars for everything else. We were there for 2 weeks, escalators were broken almost every other day. Laundry room was hot and stuffy it's impossible to stay inside to wait for your clothes. Carpets in the room need to be replaced. Bidet was loose, shower kept leaking, toilet paper thin as heck. Don't expect Charmin. These don't faze me but just to give an idea that an upgrade to the rooms were due. However, housekeeping staff always friendly and accommodated requests. It's Hawaii, so I'm not complaining about resort fees and cost of the room. However, I also expect to get what I'm paying for. DEAL BREAKER: Pillows were stiff/bouncy and uncomfortable. Bed was not hard but it lacked comfort my back hurt the whole time. I did not feel rested when I wake up each morning which depleted the purpose of a vacation. Saving grace was my view from my balcony. For over $400+ per night, I'll go somewhere else next time.

    I am so shocked that this hotel doesn't have 5 stars from everyone. It shows like a higher end hotel with a beautiful lobby area that opens up to a pool, Maui Brewing company, and an Aroma Cafe that is perfect for breakfast, coffee, and pool food. Our room was really nice and had fun decor. You're right in the middle of everything in Oahu - right near the International Market and a block from the beach. On top of all that we got a killer rate because we booked through Costco Travel, which included breakfast vouchers at the Aroma Cafe. We could basically walk everywhere and the staff at the front desk was so helpful with everything. They even have a weekly movie night at the pool! I would definitely recommend coming back to this hotel.

    There are many hotel choices in Waikiki for all budgets. We opted to stay at the Outrigger Beachcomber based on it being moderately priced and its location, location, location. We did get a room with an ocean view on the 23rd floor so that was pretty sweet. Pros: Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. It is located right in the center of Kalakaua, the Main Street in Waikiki and is centrally located to restaurants and close to the direct Waikīkī Beach access. It is a hop, skip and a jump to the International Market Place and right across the street from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. The location is key for this hotel without breaking the bank too much. Cons: if you're looking to lay by the pool, the pool and pool area is very small and underwhelming. Rooms have terrible lighting unless you're into dim lighting and they do not have microwaves which is normally standard in most hotel rooms (although you can rent one for $10 a day). Hotel rooms are pretty standard but comfortable. Definitely worth staying here based on location alone.

    Restrooms not for the public.

    Coffee pot type coffee maker, or keurig?

    It's Keurig!!!

    Only valet parking.

    What is kamaaina rate total with taxes?

    The legendary beach front hotel in beautiful Waikiki celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2026. We…read morewere fortunate to celebrate USA 250 Independence Day here and it was AWESOME! The Banyan Wing is the original Victorian-era building which is listed on National Historic Registry and houses the main lobby and restaurant. The number of guests and visitor who circulate through this property daily is incredible. Including the Tower and Surfrider Wings, it has 791 rooms. Our Tower room had a great covered patio with incredible views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. We spent a lot of time on the patio watching the surfers, catamarans, and enjoying the island breeze. Our balcony was spectacular :o Our room was updated and very comfortable. I understand the owners completed a full renovation of all rooms in 2026. The beach bar is one of the best in the world. Cold cocktails, beer and wine. Good service. Great views! The drawbacks.... The pool is small and very crowded, especially for 791 rooms. With that said everyone in the pool was smiling and having fun. The beach is also pretty small for such a massive hotel. At high tide the hotel only has about 30 feet of beachfront and it is a public beach so it is crowded Rio style. For us this was not a drawback as we love Waikiki, the birthplace of Hawaiian surfing, and spend most of our time in the surf. Hawaii and Waikiki is one of the few places that completely lives us to the hype year after year and generation after generation. We can't wait to return. Aloha & Mahalo

    After visiting and eating at this resort in years past, we were excited about the opportunity to…read moreactually stay here. So much history as shown throughout the resort especially on the second floor, but also the open Victorian architecture which presents a relaxing atmosphere. Our friends thought we were "rich" for being able to stay here but I don't recall the prices being too different than other hotels in the area. We also got a great offering through the American Express card. We arrived on island early afternoon and attempted to stay up as late as possible. However, we were given a room on the second floor of the historic side of the hotel where they host events on the patio area outside our room. While we were trying to sleep at 8-9pm, a festive wedding was going on with their DJ blasting music, people dancing, yelling, the DJ trying to motivate the audience, etc. It was not a fun night as my wife complained to the hotel staff about the noise interfering with our ability to sleep. It's not the fact the wedding was occuring, but rather the fact the hotel staff didn't let us know they were putting us next to the hotel night club of sorts. Hawaii is typically laid back and quiet, which this was not. The hotel staff sympathisized and mentioned the wedding would be finished by 10pm which it was, and tried to make things better. On day 3 around 4am, the hotel fire alarm sounded and advised everyone to vacate the building. When we vacated, we learned it was a false alarm. This was our last day at the Moana Surfrider which we assumed was a sign the resort wasn't meant to be a relaxing experience for us. The hotel has activities associated with the resort fee such as yoga, that we registered for. It was my first time doing yoga despite mention by my wife over the years to do it. I figured it would be a pleasant surprise for her if I signed us up, and it was a great class out on the same patio area as the wedding. I won't say it was fun for me, but it was an experience that we both enjoyed. The room itself was small which I assume is because it was part of the historic side of the hotel. There wasn't a balcony which we've come to appreciate especially in Hawaii to be able to go outside, view the water, and smell the air. Instead there was a window which we tried to orient ourselves in to get a picture of us with our welcome leis and Waikiki Beach in the background. Very challenging to appreciate a window as well as find space in the room to lay out two large suitcases without having to relocate furniture. The shower leaked water onto the bathroom floor as the cracks in the glass were not sealed so there was a constant wet towel on the floor. The bathroom in general didn't seem very modern considering the hotel had recently undergone years of modernization. Housekeeping was good and treated us well with towels and drinking water. I believe the Tower rooms of the hotel might be more modern and larger, as well as away from the event area of the hotel. I think we would look at other options in the future as we also spent a few days each during this trip at the Sheraton and The Royal Hawaiian which provided a much different experience in comparison.

    Waikiki

    Halepuna Hotel This…read moreis a review of my experience staying at the Halepuna Hotel, located in Waikiki. I booked my stay via Costco Travel recommendations. WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering. The tub was also spacious, if you wanted to take a bubble bath. 8TH FLOOR GYM-Equipped with a lot of machines Water dispenser Additional restrooms/shower room LAUNDRY ROOM is open 24/7 There are 3 washers and 4 dryers You can pay using your credit card or download the WASH CONNECT app *Friendly suggestions: -As a guest, bring your own laundry soap/dryer sheets--or go to the ABC Store if you forget your laundry supplies -Make sure to clean the lint trap before you put your clothes in -Put a timer on your phone to check on your clothes GARDEN -Serene, tranquil, peaceful, spacious -------- Friendly Suggestions for Halepuna Hotel -Have a big sign stationed outside the hotel, perhaps elevate the height of the sign and add lights to it, so it's easy to spot for first time visitors ------- All in all I enjoyed staying at the Halepuna Hotel. The services and amenities provided were excellent. I can't wait to visit again soon! Mahalo Halepuna Hotel!

My biggest issue with the hotel is that it's showing its age. The rooms and facilities feel outdated, and I don't think the current room rates reflect the condition of the property. Also, if you're looking to save on parking, park by the pier instead. It's much more affordable than paying the hotel's $65 per day parking fee.

    Let me first start off by saying- I have stayed at this hotel a total of 3 times. This most recent…read morebeing an absolute painful, stressful, and frustrating stay. I worked incredibly hard to bring my family to Hawaii, and I am extremely disappointed that so much of our time at Hilton Hawaiian Village was spent dealing with problems that should never have become our responsibility. Over three nights, we experienced two separate water leaks and repeated hot-water issues. These weren't minor inconveniences--they significantly disrupted our family vacation. The worst night, I slept approximately two hours. With water leaking into our room, I chose to stay awake and deal with the situation myself because I didn't want maintenance repeatedly coming into the room and waking my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children. Instead of resting and enjoying the next day with my family, I was exhausted because I had essentially spent the night protecting my children's sleep while dealing with the hotel's maintenance problem. That is unacceptable at a resort of this caliber. Management eventually provided compensation, and I appreciate that they acknowledged the situation. However, I absolutely do not believe the compensation matched the severity of what we experienced. I didn't work all year and spend thousands of dollars bringing my family to Hawaii to spend a significant portion of our vacation calling guest services, dealing with leaks, worrying about hot water, and effectively helping manage Hilton's property. Money can be refunded. Vacation time with my children cannot. For the price and reputation of this resort, our experience fell dramatically below what any family should reasonably expect.

Best service. We booked a stay last minute because of a power outage and then had to book subsequent nights which made explaining and moving rooms a bit messy but front desk was on top of it every single time. Even if I had spoken with a different person, they kept impeccable notes and went above and beyond to help us. I am beyond grateful that even though we had to deal with craziness of the hurricane, this hotel was the bright spot in our day. Cleanliness was also good. Out of the 3 rooms we had, I only called housekeeping once for a minor pillowcase and sheet change which they did immediately and apologized for. I recommend this hotel to all and look forward to staying here for pleasure in the future too.

I love that it is in the heart of Waikiki, very walkable to shopping and nightlife should you want to leave the grounds of the resort. The nightly local music with hula under the sky is magical. Reservations for dinner, or grab a first come first serve cocktail table at 5 to watch the sunset! There is also nightly jazz in the bar. La Mer is a one of a kind French experience and Orchids is fantastic for any meal of the day. Just outside the hotel is a delightful oceanfront park where the hotel hosted yoga each day. A highlight for me. Great poolside service. The beach is small, so if you are looking to lounge on the beach, that's not really much of an option. This hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you know it has the highest standards. That brand has never steered me wrong. And the fact that it is not under a massive hotel chain umbrella means it can maintain its authentic individuality. Pro tip: if you have a late flight, there is a lounge where you can relax and prepare for your departure, as check out is 11am.

The restroom is in the restaurant area. I never once left the restaurant throughout the entire evening. I was simply on my way to pick up my drink from the seating area and then head to the bar to pay. He told me I was "going the wrong way" when the way I was going would have led to me to the bar... The way this team handles tabs in this bar is abysmal. Right when I sat down, I was attempting to give my bartender my credit card to start a tab. They refused to accept my card and said don't worry about it, and that they'll take it after I'm done. I explicitly told the bartender that I was going over to the lawn right next to the bar (still in the restaurant area) to get a better view of the musical performance, drink in hand. They said go ahead. Nobody should be treated like this

We also used our American Express Platinum Hotel Credit benefit, and it was great that this hotel qualified for it. Ka Laʻi is one block from the beach, backing up to Fort DeRussy Park, a military reservation, and is surrounded by many shops and restaurants, especially along Luxury Row, which is a non-negotiable visit for us. There is so much aloha felt here, with the staff always greeting us with genuine smiles and a willingness to help. The hotel is quiet and soothing, perfect for a relaxing stay. We checked in seamlessly and were provided with cold, refreshing water upon our arrival. Our room was spacious and felt very cozy, with beige carpet and tile flooring, brown furniture, and dark cabinetry in the kitchen. In the seating area, there was a large full-size sofa, an upholstered side chair, and a coffee table. The long dresser and closet provided plenty of storage. A lovely welcome treat was left in our room: two Ka Laʻi reusable water bottles, Hawaiian semi-sweet chocolate, and Beach Brittle. These items were a very nice touch. If you feel inclined to enjoy more Beach Brittle, you can purchase it downstairs in the small shop next to the spa. The bathroom had a double-sink vanity with plenty of counter space, which is a must for me, a large soaking tub, and a wet shower area. It was a generously sized bathroom with plenty of room to move around. Our stay included a wonderful breakfast buffet at Inyō. There was an omelet station with a chef preparing made-to-order omelets, along with a variety of beautiful fresh fruit, hot and cold breakfast items, rice, and Asian-inspired bites. The infinity pool is located near the restaurant, Inyō. It's tiled in a beautiful blue that adds a nice contrast to the tan backdrop of the neighboring high-rise buildings. The pool is long and narrow, accented by a series of raised, tiled planter islands that provide a bit of privacy between guests. We were too busy to swim or enjoy the other amenities, but just walking around the grounds was incredibly relaxing. It's a very peaceful place to stay, unlike many of the larger hotel brands. The standout at this hotel was definitely the service. The staff always made eye contact, greeted us warmly, and either asked about or anticipated our needs. This is a hotel that is definitely worth returning to.

That came in clutch as the beach showers were out of service. The valet people were so kind and got to know their patrons immediately. There were also so many people on stand by for your every beck and call. I especially loved the cafe located on the 7th floor on the way to the pool that had a full espresso machine for your needs. Those ladies that worked there were the best!! They were always ready for my redundant questions. The pool was spectacular. We went swimming during the sunset and it was just the coolest spot. There were plenty of kids swimming when we were there, so we felt at home having a small child as well. The pool has sunscreen ready, cold water, and towels for your pool session. Even though it didn't have bells and whistles, my daughter still enjoyed the child friendly ledges. We got the one bedroom suite with the kitchen and living room. We had two balconies with a partial view and they were both gorgeous. It got a little loud at moments due to the proximity of the downtown Waikiki energy, people playing music loudly on scooters and ambulances, but it never woke us up or annoyed us. I felt spoiled here. I properly pampered and I am excited to have an opportunity to stay again. Kid approved, mommy approved.

    This is my 2nd time staying in Waikiki. We wanted a beach front hotel so we decided on Outrigger…read moreReef for a full week. To start off, I'd give the resort a solid 4/5, no more, no less. The location? It's great because it is literally beach front; however, it is on the southern most edge part of that beach area. This means that the beach right outside is jam packed with tourists coming and going and you would have to walk a decent ways up the beach to find a spot. Regardless, a beach front is a beach front so it's nice to get down there quick and enjoy the beach. The hotel is in a great spot in Waikiki because there are tons and tons of shopping stores and food areas within a 15 minute walk so you never really have to drive out. Monkey Pod restaurant down below has great reviews and is delicious, but I personally think their menu is quite small. They also have a pool side bar/cafe that serves drinks, snacks, and meals and is a secondary pool-side restaurant. They play music down there every night. It's very calm, quaint, and peaceful to enjoy a night in the hotel. Unfortunately, the prices of their drinks are ridiculously overpriced. $17 for a Mai Thai not including tip. Insane. The room? I would say pretty average for any decent hotel. It was clean, the bed was good, the pillows were nice and big. The balcony is small, but can sit two people to enjoy the outside. The down side is the rooms of the two towers of the hotel face each other. So you don't get a beach front view unless you pay the big extra for those rooms. My biggest gripe about the room was the shower. The whole 7 days the water would change from warm, hot, very hot, rinse and repeat every few seconds. The price? Very expensive, but that's the price you pay for a beach front hotel PLUS it being on Waikiki beach. There's probably not big deals/sales unless you buy it through Costco Travel which is what I did which saves you probably a couple hundred at the very least. Valet is automatically included which is another 60 per night (not including whatever few bucks you tip them whenever you go out) so this would easily rack up your bill. I'd say the closest free parking is at least a 20 minute walk one way. Despite my rating the hotel a 4/5, would I recommend this spot? It depends. If you are a newcomer to Oahu and want to experience the casual, tourist experience of Oahu, want that beach front hotel, and have the cash, I would recommend this. If you are not a newcomer, there are many other hotels that will suit many other tastes. And honestly, staying at any other hotel outside of Waikiki is probably best if you want to really save on money and see better beaches.
