MY FAVORITE HOTEL STAY EVERThe staff were incredible and so welcoming! Special shout-out to Princess, who was able to help me get my wedding dress steamed in time for my wedding (She was also super sweet!) Also, the valet staff were so welcoming as well! They would always greet my husband and I so excitedly – they even remembered our names! Lastly, the room was perfect! We had an ocean view room and we were in awe of the view

We spent so much time finding the perfect hotel to stay for our wedding, and I’m glad we stayed here Thank you!!

We recently stayed for 6 nights in an extremely clean ocean view room on the 14th floor Everything was wonderful! ALL of the employees that we interacted with were very warm and welcoming We spent Easter morning at the beautiful pool with a friendly pool attendant

We had a rental car for 2 days and the bellhops remembered us whenever we parked or even walked by Check-in, check-out and requesting housekeeping was so simple The location is so convenient to plenty of shops and restaurants as well as a beautiful view of the ocean We highly recommend this hotel!

Truly outstanding property in Waikiki beach Rooms are somewhat small, but hey you’re in Hawaii so you really only use the room to sleep and shower Very much a boutique type feel hotel

Beautiful decor throughout the propertyFabulous bathroom with deep soaking tub and gentle cleaning bidet’s on the toilets Our 12th floor ocean view room did not disappoint!Exceptional service from every single staff member we encountered Carl at the pool was especially helpful and friendly The breakfast package that came with our stay was fabulous It’s served at their even more upscale sister property across the streetI loved the Halepuna and you will too!

One of the best ocean view hotels in Waikiki Our family stayed in Ocean Front Club Queen Room for 5 nights in July 2022 Everything during our stay was perfect

The room was spacious, clean and newly renovated The beds were big and comfortable The location are convenient to a lot of restaurants and shopping malls The hotel staff were so kind and always there to provide help to the hotel guests The hotel also had an easy access to the beach and different kinds of water activities The hotel public area were newly renovated in a modern and bright style to make you feel happy and relax At last , I wants to say thanks to Mandy, the housekeeper of 8F, she worked so hard to keep our Room 819 clean and tidy everyday Also, send my thanks to Frank, the manager of V47 club lounge, he was always there every morning to help us set up the breakfast All my family members, my husband, my kids love the hotel so much We will definitely come back in the near future

Theresa Orzech

The staff was amazing very kind Jason at the front desk was amazing hooked us up with activities in the area to do So far our stay has been so so wonderful will definitely come back the rooms are nicely furnished refrigerator lots of room and balcony also attached to the room nice to sit out and hear the bands play

The beach is right around the corner leaving Wednesday and dreading itit’s been a wonderful stay LOVE LOVE LOVE this place If you don’t stay here you are missing out!

Sarah Alvarez

From start to finish, this hotel was perfect for our family vacation Donna, at the front desk, was helpful on more than one occasion and made our stay that much more relaxing and worry free All staff members we spoke to were friendly and attentive

Our room was cleaned daily (we called to ask for it) We stayed in a one bedroom suite, and both the bed and the pull out sofa bed were comfortable Rooms were cool with air conditioning that ran without any issues The fridge and microwave were very handy with two kids – so we were able to keep snacks and beverages in our room for a longer period of time The pool was relaxing, and right next to the bar ~ which made for a relaxing time for the adults and fun time for the kiddos If you walk through the hotel you end up straight on the beach! Overall, we are so pleased we stayed here, and will definitely book again!

Love this hotel! The SPA is absolutely fantastic and famous for itAt the massage I have taken out my golden chain in a wooden bowl After the massage I was so relaxed I totally forgot about it

I have already left and hours later I recognized the chain was missing I called the hotel and the SPA and they went to look and the lady said it was still there I was so released as it has emotional value for me Thanks again!The restaurant and bar are nice and the sunset view is incredible It’s absolutely worth a go!

Stephanie Carothers

What a wonderful place! Everything was beyond expectations! Such a beautiful hotel that was so very relaxing and luxurious Every single person was there waiting to be of any help The valet guys are awesome and were my favorite

Violet and Mercy in housekeeping were great as well Delicious breakfast buffet that is amazing and a cant miss! The security was there which was nice since it’s an “open air” (somewhat) concept I just loved this place and would recommend anyone to stay here I hope to be back

• E & A •

This place has a great location, away from the busy streets and noise and has great restaurants walking distance The amenities in the room are modern and the toilet was my favorite part The service everywhere around the hotel is outstanding

The only part that threw us off, was the “private beach”, which is not private, but public and accessible by anyone and catamarans as well Also the access from the pool to the beach is sometimes uncomfortable because you need the room key to open the gate The only bed lounges are by the pool, so nothing on the beach Also the sand is rocky compared to other parts Buffet breakfast are better than A la carte in our opinion and the food by the pool is not worth it We ordered delivery food for lunch and enjoyed good quality food at fair price Overall it was a great vacation and we enjoyed our stay

Great hotel in an excellent location (Kapolei), about 20-25 min west of Honolulu Lots and lots of places to eat and shop within a few a minutes of the hotel and easy access to the H-1 highwayThe staff was extremely friendly and the hotel was clean and well-maintained

The breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of items including fresh omelettes The fitness center is quite nice as well The beds were comfortable and housekeeping services were well-organized (need to request housekeeping the day before) Would definitely recommend staying here and would come back for sure in the future!

f lowe

Hilton Honors member here Stayed here for 9 days and had a great experience The management and staff worked hard to make things right while we stayed there

The AC in our room broke down; we were moved to another room The staff was very friendly! The free breakfast was our favorite The suites are perfect for families! Will def stay again here

Wynona Adams

All the staff are great but watch out for the hostesses for breakfast! If you and your family are local, they will stare at you like you don’t belong there! Even if you check in with one of them and go back to get ANYTHING after you went up once they will stare at you harder!!! The other one will literally run after you like you personally stole something from her even if you already told them how many was in your party Front desk was amazing But bad experience with the breakfast hostesses

Wish I could give a higher rating for the service we got from the other people that work there

We loved our stay here! The room was clean, spacious, had a great view and the Oahu winds on the balcony were amazingThere are a handful of different towers at the Hilton Village and all guests can use any of their many pools Lots of restaurants are on site, gift shops as well as ABC stores which have all the essentials

Not to mention it’s also steps away from Waikiki beach Would definitely recommend

Harold Perry

Hello Viewer, we’re in Hawaii Always a great place to visit and relax Accommodations are excellent!! The weather is absolutely great

Some cloudiness late afternoon and rain later on Our room is absolutely topsplenty of spacegorgeous views Picked up a rental car at Budget Rental Completing that process online before arriving is better

Lupe Hernandez

We’re staying at the Hilton Waikiki village hotel and it’s beautiful Upon our arrival we checked out the tours and activities desk and made arrangements for a sail cruise We were offered a discount if we attended a presentation “a sales pitch” to hear about their members club to become an owner for their vacation club resort

We attended the presentation not to mention we gave away 2 hrs away from our vacation time Presentation was smooth, agents were so nice until we said no to their offer Their whole personalities changed They were no longer nice or accommodating You could tell they were bothered at the fact that their pitch was turned down Not to mention they tell you there’s no pressure when going into the presentation But yet they pretty much look angry if you don’t walk out saying yes These people get paid to do these presentations I understand it’s their time too but it’s their job They need to be more understanding when it comes to visitors We’re giving up time we could be doing other things instead of being a chair for 2 hrs listening to a sales pitch to only get a bad reaction once it’s all overCynthia you were awesome and polite until we said no and then you could tell it’s all fake As well as the other young lady who came in after you who was suppose to only do a survey but instead just threw another sales pitch Pleasant until she heard a no They need to learn how to be respectful even their sales pitch wasn’t successful

Natasha Venizelos

We had the most wonderful experience at this hotel The service they provide is next level incredible! The concierge has so much knowledge and were amazing at helping us book cars and restaurants and giving us a tons of options on what to do The hard part was choosing from the list

The facilities and room were perfect and well maintained I also enjoyed that there was a kids and adults only pool The view from our room was amazing They are also extremely diligent in following Covid protocol (even though that sadly means no buffet breakfast!) An expensive hotel that’s worth every cent!

Dea Logsdon

The best! We stayed here for a week for our honeymoon The staff were all so kind, housekeeping were so sweet and thoughtful We even had a washer/dryer in our room (awesome for not having to come home with a bunch of dirty laundry!) The food was amazing and it was just so lovely!! Definitely worth the price tag

We felt so comfortable and so well taken care of here We absolutely plan on staying here again if we get the chance!!

Dominik Lee

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and it was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at From the amazing service from all their friendly staff, to the clean and modern rooms, The Ritz at Waikiki Beach was above and beyond all expectationsThe rooms were clean, modern and had extremely comfortable beds

There was a full kitchen and even washing machines in the suite! Really felt like a home away from home Not to mention the views were absolutely breathtaking!Room service food was excellent The service provided by all staff was absolutely unreal From the valet on the ground floor, to the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff – everyone was so friendly and really went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay When we were leaving, we had a late evening flight and the staff were able to accommodate us to check out late so that we could still explore the city during the day and come back to our room to shower and change Usually hotels are extremely stingy about their check-out times, I’ve never experienced such exceptional serviceTo top it all off, the location was excellent You’re within walking distance to everything in downtown Waikiki Lots of good food and shopping close byWe will definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in Waikiki!

This was a great hotel to stay in for a much needed long vacation after years of not really travelling anywhere long distance due to the pandemic The view from the room was divine, and the bathroom was the fanciest one I have experienced in a hotel Think lots of marble

The location is at the end of the Waikiki strip, but still walkable to all of the shops and restaurants There are 2 gift shops, and one serves a lot like the ABC convenience stores that are all over Oahu, with pricing that isn’t that different The 100 Sails restaurant in the hotel was fabulous for breakfast A bit pricey, but worth it to try at least once Highly recommend

Purushottam Raj

I and my family stayed here for seven nights and it was absolutely fabulous! The views from the room, elevator, pool are amazing The staff is super friendly, courteous and nice! The valet parking is also good This was our third visit to Oahu

We had stayed in Hilton properties before, including Hilton Village resort, except for the village experiences this hotel has been the absolute bestI loved the bathroom setup, separate shower, closed toilet with bidet (seat warmer), soaking tub outsideGreat house keeping, very friendly and goodMissing things: may be a Lanai (balcony) and Microwave, and US mainland based ATMs that don’t charge extra 🙂

Max Park

Highly recommendedContext: Ocean view room, two-nightsLocation was great

Just a 15-minute minute walk from the main hub of Waikiki For us, this meant less homeless people and a quieter area with an amazing view of the ocean, especially during sunset Also, there’s a mall that’s a 15-20 minute walk in the other directionRoom was perfect Great view, large enough, and clean Really like their bathroom set-up which is seen more in resorts in Japan Shower and toilet are in separate stalls with a spacious “common” area where the sink and mirror are Great for couplesStaff were very welcoming and accommodating If you need anything printed, they can do it for you if their commonplace printers are down They’ll also send up a microwave for you if you need one**sushi place in the first floor is alright Wife really enjoyed it, but I’d rather get poke at a market elsewhere

ashley stidham

Spent a week with my kids at this resort and i honestly don’t have a bad thing to say about it From our arrival, the customer was some of the best i have ever experienced It is a beautiful resort that is super kid friendly

Multiple pools for the kids to enjoy and a reflection pool for the grown ups The lagoon beach out front was perfect for laying out, building sand castles, and just relaxing in the water There were different activities to keep everyone entertained including an outdoor movie night My only real issue with this resort is that it’s on Oahu, so any time you venture off property there is horrible trafficI would highly recommend this resort!

Karen Scott

The resort is beautiful and well kept Our villa is spacious and has plenty of space for the 7 people Even the pull out beds are comfortable

The kitchens are equipped with more than enough tools to cook a full meal or a simple snack The view from the balcony is gorgeousThere are a ton of activities daily for kids and adults The restaurants are good and the food is delicious and comes out piping hotThe beach is gorgeous and because it’s in a cove there are little to no waves and very calm You can float in a tube and fall asleep it’s so calmThe pools are refreshing and offer something for everyone A quiet pool (reflection), a toddler/volleyball pool with a beach sand entry, and another pool with varying levels that has a waterfall, cave and separate slideThe ocean is clear, you can see straight to the bottom There are fish everywhere as well It’s amazing!Fabulous resort and worth the trip!

Beautiful resort! There is nowhere else on the island I would stay The hospitality is unmatched anywhere you go in the resort and housekeeping is stellar The spa is expansive with all the amenities you could ask for and the prenatal massage I received was top notch

The adult infinity pool was our go to hang out spot and is absolute paradise The beach area is pristine and wasn’t crowded the entire week we were there, and was far less busy than the Disney area We couldn’t have asked for a better stayWe planned our trip here for a baby-moon and we were greeted with congratulations, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling water, and even a body pillow for me to get better sleepThank you for such a lovely stay, Four Seasons Oahu!

Ryan Lanzendorf

We absolutely loved our stay here We came during a busy time of the year — spring break, spending majority of our time at the adult pool (18+ yo) The thing I’ll remember most about our stay was how friendly the ENTIRE staff was from valet, to the front desk, to all the servers at the pools, even the folks at the spa and for the hotel activities

The poolside drinks and food exceeded my expectations I’m fact, we ate at Noe and Mina’s and would have rather ate by the pool instead We also did the stand up paddle board in the lagoon and the sail + scuba and just loved it — highly recommend the sail + scuba We overheard a family from the Disney resort say the four seasons was not a family friendly resort and I beg to differ Although we didn’t have kids with us, we saw a lot of other families with kids and they appeared to be having a wonderful timeOh, and if you get a massage, get the warrior massage and try to book with Bronson I had an incredible experience and would definitely see him again – his hands are magical

Faizah Rajput

AN ISLAND ON AN ISLANDWe arrived on Friday and plan to leave on Monday We’ve stayed at Four Seasons on three of three islands, and this one was no different as far as delivery is concernedWe’ve had a wonderful time!From checking in and getting our leis, to asking the concierge to help us make dinner and massage reservations, everything has been easy, engaging, and inviting

We definitely feel pamperedWe also ate at Mina’s Fish House last night and plan on eating at Noe (Italian) this evening [my birthday] [[SUPERBOWL!!!]]There are many photograph moments, but the best part of the stay has been our room upgrades, which gave us an ocean view, and having Japanese breakfast on the balcony before sunrise (thank you room service! Especially Sarah, who ensured me “We can absolutely do Japanese breakfast at 6am”We also used the gym and the adult pool I’ll be honest, I haven’t left the pool (again, it’s my birthday so I’m allowed)We are so appreciative of the staff and look forward to returning again real soon

Dohyung Kim

Excellent!! I had an absolutely fantastic stay during my five days at this Hyatt The valet was always quick, and the staff were genuinely friendly and conversational I requested a room with a better view at check-in, and the on-site manager immediately came over, searched for available rooms, and put me in a room with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows

The room was super nice, and hotel provides optional everyday cleaning The shower is essentially a high pressure car wash, making you feel like a brand new, cleansed person stepping out The lobby and splash pool is a nice place to lounge and eat carryout Location is also ideal and <8 min walk to Waikiki beach with plenty of eateries to choose fromI seldom give 5 star ratings, but this Hyatt rightfully earns it I highly recommend and will def stay here again for future vacations to Oahu! Mahalo

Oswald Garcia

This review is long overdue!I had the pleasure of staying here at the end of March for 4 nights This place is hospitality done right! I feel like the staff is genuinely caring and very approachableEvery encounter with any staff member was incredibly pleasant, front desk, concierge, bell, housekeeping, even the manager, Daniel, had reached out to me prior to my stay to check-in before my travel day was approaching

My room was amazing! Great view, great size, very clean and well maintained There is a resort fee but it goes a long way I took advantage of the resort fee by using the gym, took a professional yoga class, and they provide beach towels/umbrellas/boogie boards/ for the beach- which is short walking distance passing all of the nice shops They even give you these really cool Hyatt branded reusable bottles (to fill with water or your favorite drink) They made a great souvenirMy first Hyatt stay and definitely won’t be my last Thank you Daniel & team for the hospitality and making my first trip to the Islands so memorable! I will definitely be back!

Rob Loper

We had a great visit at this hotel Many hotels in Honolulu are aging and look broken down That is not the case here

Everything was clean and updated The lobby is accommodating and has plenty of lounge furniture to relax in or space to eat, work etcOur room was immaculately clean and very comfortable Plenty big as well Has a large flat screen TV with all the modern smart TV features including Chromecast! We did have a couple of issues with refrigerator and plumbing, but they were resolved quickly, and the staff was very accommodating and concerned that we were as comfortable as possibleSpeaking of service, the staff members here are some of the most friendly, helpful, courteous, professional, and personable people of any hotel I’ve stayed at They were so nice to us, and could provide any information we needed about Honolulu and local places of interest They also played with and fawned over our 10 month old daughter and made her feel very special I mean we almost want to come back every year just so they can watch her growThe pool is unique It’s not a deep lap swimming pool But more shallow and designed for lounging in (or out of) the water It was absolutely perfect for us, and our daughter quite possibly had the best time of her life in the pool The other amenities are also great It feels like they thought of everything we could need and made it available to usThe location is perfect for Waikiki It’s within walking distance to anything you could be visiting Waikiki to do Tons of nearby restaurants, upscale and regular shopping, as well as souvenir shops and other activities Very close, easy walk, to the beachI could go on and on, but suffice it to say this hotel is appropriate for families, couples, single people, travel groups, you name it Highly, highly recommend Hyatt Centric in Waikiki

This place was amazing! There was a beautiful view and back porch My family purchased a 2 bedroom room, which was plenty of space for the four of us The smaller bedroom has two twin beds that could be split or merged perfect for the kids

The customer service was great and there was even a greeter to help us navigate the island and our rooms

Our room was gorgeous Ground floor 2 bedroom We sat out onto our beautifully decorated lanais every morning for breakfast

Kids could play in the pools while we watched from the lanais And just a few short steps to the right was the beach The lagoon is perfect for kids Entirely protected waters with sea turtles!!The staff at Ko Olina is amazing And the villas are 5-10 minute walk (along the ocean) to fantastic restaurants and shops and ABC grocery storeIf you are looking for an elegant and kid friendly vacation- Ko Olina is perfect

We stayed a week at the Ko Olina Beach Villas in a beach tower condo on the seventh floor We loved the property! This property seems like it is more relaxed and quiet than the Marriott or the Disney Aulani next door The lagoon at this property was not very crowded compared to the others

Beautiful sunsets right out in front of the resort made for amazing evenings! The staff was courteous and easy to get a hold of I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a ocean front area on Oahu

Great place for a vacation stay! It’s near right on the beach and has multiple pools for all ages (lazy river, slides, infinity pool, +18 area, man-made reef for snorkeling) They have rentals for some equipment like paddle boarding The resort snorkeling also costs money, but the other areas are free!The inside is very nice

You didn’t have to walk too far for elevators and parking was pretty easy We had a suite and studio rooms, both were nice The suite had a kitchen area with utensils, plates, and glassware It also had a laundry machines in the room, a big plus of us! Any time we asked for blankets or towels, the service was fast The view from the top floors is amazing! Definitely a resort feel and very kid friendly!

I’ve stayed here twice as a “local” to this island, each time in a standard room, once with partial ocean, another with garden view Without a doubt the reason I’m willing to pay Disney prices to stay here has nothing to do with Mickey and Minnie I stay here for the undeniable TOP LEVEL safety at the pools

As a mom who comes here with my child alone, I will pay good money for that level of lifeguard coverage since it’s impossible to have eyes on your child at all times in a property this large with slides and a lazy river Poolside food service is also invaluable for a similar reason No shuffling to a cafe to get lunch while risking losing your chairs A cast member will bring the food right to your lounge area Unfortunately, the beds in the room are not comfortable- in my opinion It’s a firm mattress on a wood platform with only sheets on top to keep you warm The first time we stayed for 3 nights I was cold and uncomfortable and slept terribly I plan on only staying one night going forward I do not see the value in losing sleep when I have the option of sleeping in my own amazing bed

Beautiful resort! The staff are all so kind, lovely, and personable They really make you feel like you’re home Everything is clean and orderly

The food is fantastic! The pools, hot tubs, and beach are so fun and relaxing The location is perfect, just far enough away from Waikiki that its quiet and calm, but close enough to the activity Clearly there are hints of Disney throughout, since it is a Disney resort, but its actually quite tasteful My whole family can’t wait to go back!

Staff is all top notchOnly stayed here because it was close to work location so not crazy about the location, but it’s a great hotel

Shawna Peters

The space was amazing It seems like everything is new And there is a fresh smell to the hotel

So I really appreciate the fact that the place is clean and newer Not to mention the rooms with kitchen living room bedroom and bathroom It gives more of a home feel to it The staff was really good they were very welcoming and professional I am very grateful for that The managers were very helpful and knowledgeable This is a great place to stay and the location is great as well Thanks!

A great hotel experience I stayed at Residence Inn for 9 nights, so really had a chance to see it in operation Every single member of the staff — front desk, breakfast service, housekeeping staff, groundskeepers — were helpful, professional and so friendly

And the place is immaculate Self parking is great; proximity to the highway makes getting around Oahu easy I will stay here again

This particular location is awesome They make you as a gust feel so welcomed This is my second time staying here and it’s perfect

The team members are the best The front desk employees night and day are the best They go above and beyond and that is true customer service Even though some were training, they were a team and they help each other out I had an issue with my cellphone and had to get a replacement shipped out to me That front desk kept an eye out for my package and call me the second it came in I appreciated that little kindness so much Thank you, thank you The hotel is so clean and I am a germaphobe The housekeeping sprays and disinfects the room before going in to clean The cleaning is impeccable 👌 I will be back

Lianne Buenafe

I honestly want to rate Hampton Inn & Suites Kapolei a five star, but I will make it 4/5 I will mention the downside first First, there was no microwave

I would recommend having microwave in all rooms I believe all the guests needs microwave to heat up their food Lastly, the ac Guests should be able to control the temperature in their rooms Me and my family were freezing due to how cold the room was and all we can do was wear jackets, hoodies or sweatshirts, and socksThe good side however is they have free breakfast every day, they can provide us toothbrush, toothpaste, etc (if we need one), get mini fridge, friendly & helpful staff, a swimming pool (already have clean towels for guests to ready to use outside), laundry room, a gym, and a beautiful lounge to stay at I also like how their water dispenser has that footstep to get water instead of using our fingers to pressSo overall, this still a good place to stay at It is a friendly and safe environment 🙂

Lavinia Morrison

I cannot say enough good things about this place! All of the staff are polite, friendly and professional This place is immaculateThe breakfast buffet is great

There is something for everyone The kitchen staff work tirelessly keeping the place clean and the food and beverages replenished There is a fitness center, pool and laundry room on the first door The decor is modern with very clean linesRight outside, in walking distance are a plethora of restaurants and shops!I highly recommend this hotel! ❤❤❤❤

Location was so convenient! 1 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and shaved ice and 3 minute walk to the beach Complementary breakfast was excellent and so much more than most hotels offer Made to order omelette bar was a nice perk

Go before 8am and it won’t be busy at all Valet parking was an added expense but honestly so nice! Service was quick and it was great to just take the elevator down and have your car pulled up right there Pool area is perfect for kids! Deepest part is only 4 feet with a tanning ledge and toddler area so all of my kids could swim safely Pool area is really cool especially at night with all the lights and tiki torches plus tons of seating It was nice to have the bars near the pool so I could enjoy a drink while watching my kids swim Every employee we encountered was extremely kind and helpful Would highly recommend especially for families

Tara Bohle

The hotel is awesome The location is perfect! A block away from the beach, just downstairs there’s nice shops to look at and good restaurants You would be happy staying here and experiencing the pool and other things they offer

Breakfast is huge and plentiful, large selection that changes day to day from fried rice, taquitos, omelets, scrambled eggs, granola, yogurt, fruit, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes and way way more! Food is great at night there’s free drinks and chips which is nice, heated pool is perfect temp morning or night Also a hot tub and kids pool is nice Pool guy super helpful, same with bell desk, they have cabs and limos (same cost) waiting in the lobby couldn’t have been better!

Britni Nic

We first arrived and the staff was really helpful and attentive Our rooms were clean and really spacious The breakfast bar was amazing!! The pool was clean and had a pool attendant at all times

Walking distance to shopping food activities and the beach Probably my best experience staying in a hotel at the beach Again, the hospitality we felt from the staff deserves the 5 stars 🙂

I absolutely loved my stay here at the Sheraton Waikiki Service from all staff members was exceptional From the time that we checked in until we checked out

I didn’t get my room service in my room but the housekeeping would leave fresh towels at my door daily when we placed the old towels outside our door…The convenience of this property is awesome If you’re looking to shop, it’s right there, the beach, it’s right there and all the restaurants within walking distance of the property There’s also some great restaurants on propertyAnd the pools were not too crowded and the beach was definitely not to crowded Get there a little early so you and get a good spot to lay out or rent you some chairs with an umbrella for the dayLastly, I have stayed at a lot of Marriott properties, this was one of the best The views, the food, the service and the location made this an outstanding and very relaxing stay

Carmen Yau

Our family of 3 had a really fabulous time at Sheraton Waikiki We love the pool and hotel complimentary activities very much Our room was very clean and housekeeping service was excellent

Shout out to Imelda who clean our room for the week, she went above and beyond to provide what we need and change our dirty towels for us We are all very happy with the stay The ocean view was fantastic and worth for the upgrade We had many meals with the nice view in our balcony

Mikey T

This is coming from a Texas point of view The hotel service was horrible, I understand your on island time, but hardly anyone that comes and stays in Waikiki is on island time Lunch at one of the places inside by the pool with only 3 tables sat down took us 45 min to get our food and it was wrong

Separate from that, the hotel treats everyone like criminals asking for passes every 2 seconds , masked, ids to move two steps The customer service is far from good for a Sheraton hotel, not even sub par Everything is extremely overpriced 25 dollars for a makers and coke in a tall glass at rum fire The rooms are very small, the bathrooms don’t look very classy at all The view is the only good part The view with all these bad things will not get me past 1 star If I wanted to vacation with super strict rules, I would go stay at my mothers place Not worth the trip

I would like to personally thank Chris and Ben of the Front Desk for wiping my tears away and making this a vacation of a lifetime The hotel is old but the rooms have been updated and look really nice The hotel staff will do everything they can to make your stay pleasurable

The location is awesome! I would highly recommend this hotel and will return next year If you can please try to book a oceanfront suite on a high floor The views are amazing, there is truly something magical at the Royal Hawaiiansuite on a high floor The oceanfront views are amazing The breakfast dishes were delicious

I had a perfect stayI appreciated the staff so much They were top notch and made our stay amazing

They were knowledgeable and so helpful The hotel is super clean and gorgeous and the location is fantastic We were close to everything and as a resort guest you could reserve great beach umbrella/seats to relax Everything is in walking distance and the live music at night was beautiful

Jessica Airel

I’ll start by saying the staff deserves 5 stars They are helpful and friendly and really made the trip enjoyable My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and the staff was quick to upgrade our room to a higher floor, and gave us a voucher for 2 free drinks and pastries at the bakery, both were very tasty

This was our first time staying at a 5 star hotel, and I honestly didn’t see a difference between a lower star hotel and this one I was surprised to find that with the price we paid to stay here, nothing was included in our stay Not even breakfast When we went to get breakfast our first day, I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw they wanted like $3200 for a basic omelet, and the food menu in general is teeny tiny If you wanted beach chairs, you had to rent them at $6000 a day, which is insaneThe walls to the rooms are paper thin I was woken up every single day at 6 am by guests yelling to each other, and was woken up several times after midnight because someone thought it was appropriate to blast a harry potter movie So quiet times are definitely not enforced here  And even if someone was having a conversation at a normal volume, we heard that loud and clear as wellIf you want to view this beautiful historic hotel, I would suggest staying elsewhere and walk around it for a bit We did have a nice stay in Hawaii, but I wouldn’t stay here again, I would go back to staying in a 3 star hotel because I honestly saw no difference between here or a 3 star hotel
