Though I did not stay here, I went to their bar, pickleball court, and shopette with my military…read morestatus. The drinks at their outdoor bar were cheaper than other bars in the area with a less appealing atmosphere. There was live music that was just the right sound level and it boosted the mood. The drink quality was great and Amber the bartender was the BEST! We had some fun banter throughout the evening and she was so helpful and kind. The pickleball courts are free to reserve and are an amazing amenity to enjoy and have some outdoor movement. Other patrons were kind and respectful, and the bell desk attendants were polite and fun when I dropped off and picked up the key. Reservations can be made by guest or active duty military online, which is super easy! Note: for court access day-of you must change your ID for the key into the courts. The shopette is a great place to get mass produced and local souvenirs for a great price (better than ABCs). My friend also sought out RIMPAC merch, which they sold at an extremely reasonable price! I had such a great experience with Hale Koa that I would absolutely stay here next time! Its convenient location near the Hawaiian mall, bars, restaurants, and the beach are truly the cherry on top for this establishment!

It's a military hotel, but don't let that fool you. They are well positioned on the beach to give…read moreyou amazing access to two beautiful and calm beaches. The beaches don't get that crowded, but they also have a great "kids" area with a pool and hot tub. They also have a separate adults only pool and hot tub. We ate in the on-site restaurant several times. Great food, but a little pricey. I recommend their NY stripe steak special, when available. There's a nice little Cafe with grab and go hot and cold foods. I would get breakfast there every morning. Two eggs with bacon for $5. Also nice coffee cart open daily until 11 AM. Coffee was good and they have several prep methods. Definitely do souvenir shopping in the exchange. 50-75% less than the rest of the island on the same products. Rooms are nice and clean and the staff are very attentive. Not at all what you would expect from a military resort. We also did the Friday night Prime Rib buffet. Food is definitely delicious and there's plenty of it. The dessert bar is ok, but could be better. Finally, the luau. Definitely worth the price for the activities and show. The food it ehh. It's good but the portions are small and the fish was really fishy for me. They only have one dessert and no substitution policy unless it's a food allergy. They handled my food allergy well, but no options for diabetics or gluten free, which surprised me. Still, this is definitely a five star experience!

I saw another review stating people were eating breakfast like it was their last meal...yeah we were, I looked forward to this breakfast for years! Literally dreaming of it, I loved all of the variety. We stayed a week, so it changes a bit every day. They typically have eggs, then a protein, like chicken, bacon, sausage, and Portuguese sausage, then a carb, like French toast, pancakes, waffles, and oven roasted sweet potatoes, or they have Jimmy Dean sandos. They always have miso soup and pineapples, granola, and yogurt, cereals, breads, coffee and juice. I work hard all year, I deserve a week of breakfast served to me. The room was in the perfect spot this time. We had the third floor next to the breakfast, pool, gym, and elevators. The room was so large and spacious and I loved the shower. The shower products were amazing. They had shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower. I also appreciate the nice fridge and safe in the room. I also love their metal reusable water bottle and the amazing water filtration system and so many refillable stations. It saved my from dehydration. Being in Vegas a couple years ago, they had no fridge, no free water, and not many places to get a glass of water, and I paid heavily with being sick. Hawaii takes this seriously and I think serves as an example for other places that hosts tourists that engage in outdoor activities. I wish other regular businesses also had these systems. I am a person that always takes a water bottle in my car, so this was a nice perk of the hotel. We also love their beach supplies. Every beach day we got a couple chairs, a couple boogie boards, and some towels, and also in my opinion, this is my favorite spot to beach. I like the calm walled area, whereas the husband and kids love the other side with the rougher waves, and they are steps away from each other so we don't have to hike a mile to get to our favorite beach spots. We also like the food spot and nice tables and chairs. My child had been dreaming of trying the lava cake and also had a peanut butter cookie. With the credits we also got a couple sodas to have with meals. The staff could not be any nicer. I did apologize when they stopped by to help with the room, I had tried to get most of the sand off the bathroom floor (I know they know we are at the beach) but of course they helped me sweep up the rest. The people at the front are also great and have accommodated us with everything. I like how they have a microwave, napkins, and tableware for meals in the lobby. What a lovely place, I truly hope to visit again soon. Thanks so much for the best time ever.

Stayed here for 3 nights in May and truly enjoyed the stay. I did see some negative reviews here so…read moredecided to leave mine soon after check out. First of all, the location is great: amazingly close to the shore of Waikiki, all the great restaurants, as well as beaches. Secondly, the room: it was pretty spacious and very quiet, we did not hear any neighbors (only when they walked through the hallway) the whole time and it also had a partial ocean view. There was a small balcony enough to seat 2 people. The room was very very clean: I dropped something behind the sofa chair and when moved it, it was sparkling clean behind. It had blackout curtains, AC, large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The fridge was of good size (unlike other hotels where I have been to, where the fridge was so tiny that no leftovers fit in). Thirdly, the customer service was top notch. Absolutely no complaints about it and only gratefulness: everyone we talked to during the visit was extremely friendly and helpful (separate thanks to Joy, Angelina, Kayla and some others at the front desk who worked during the last days of May). Called for an early check in as flight landed and were told it depends on the availability. Once we made it to the hotel, by 12:15 pm were checked in, the early check in fee was waved, we were given a small bag with reusable water bottles, and were told that we will have daily $5 credit to use up. This was very nice! It allowed us to enjoy more time in Oahu on the first day. There was complimentary breakfast that slightly got switched up every morning (the pineapple was delicious!), a fitness room of an okay size, and a small pool. Also there was a microwave on the first floor with plates, spoons, tables, lots of chairs to lounge on if needed. Even the maintenance was great: when checked in, found out that one of the wall lamps were kind of loose and told the receptionist during the first day just so they are aware but they actually said it they will send someone for repairs right away. We did not necessarily need it fixed, it worked fine but it was great customer service! Also attended the free lei making class and it was fun! Make sure to call and sign up, it happens twice a week. Reccomend if in the area.

Their Tour Managers do an excellent job of keeping everything and everyone safe and on track. They do a great job of booking everything for your trip.

Very much appreciated

We had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with Non-Stop Travel (NS). From the start,…read morewe told NS we wanted to travel with friends, and we also wanted to upgrade our flights. We booked our Oceania Transoceanic cruise about 18 months in advance - plenty of time to coordinate - but none of our request were handled properly. NS blamed Oceania for the travel arrangements, yet Oceania only comunicates through the travel agent leaving us stuck with NS and no real help. To make matters worse, we (friends and us) were assigned different travel advisors at NS who did not communicate with each other. Our friends and us ended up with cabins on opposite ends of the ship. We both paid for Business Class upgrades; we were booked on different airlines with different itineraries. Wrong information given to us. Communication was poor - excuses, delays and no accountability or taking responsibility. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Non-Stop Travel. If you want clear communication and a company that actually listens, look elsewhere. If you are considering an Oceania cruise, book directly with Oceania.

I booked this place through Expedia. What went right: + The View!! Amazing! Pic is from the 36th floor + Kitchen with stove and utensils. Good if you are here for a while. No so much: - The check in process. Even after booking the place you have to fill out more forms and send it back for approval. Found out it was needed when I got there. I was in a time crunch and needed to be somewhere. 10 min delay... - No parking. It's advertised that Parking is available but you have to reserve it way in advance. I had to park a block away. - No front desk. You pick up your room key fob from a lock box. - Only one of two elevators are working. My longest wait for an elevator- 10 mins. No warning from the hotel when you book the room. - Dirty Towels. If they bleach can't get rid of it throw it away. See pic. 2.5 stars Rounded down to 2. Would've been rounded up for the view but the delay and inconvenience bumped it down.

The view from the room was amazing -- I could see the ocean and city lights from my window. The staff was helpful and check-in was easy.

For a budget-friendly trip to Waikiki, this place was a peaceful little gem.
