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!

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

I fly to Hawaii every year for my birthday, and this was one of my favorite stays! The best part of this hotel is the pool area The bartenders and servers are so much fun and so polite! They made my birthday trip here amazing, I truly do miss them! The hotel itself is located in a prime location and the rooms are nice The food here is great too! If you want a beach/pool day and don’t really feel like going anywhere you can honestly assure that you’ll have great food, drinks and service right at your hotel, plus there’s a small beach a short walk right behind the pool

I Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re going to be in Honolulu and I hope to return this year for my birthday when I come back

Mark Oliva

Everything is good The room size is above average The pools are clean and all amenities are good

The staff are courteous and requests for linen and other essentials were taken care of immediately Parking is not a problem Request a room that has a view of the lagoon so you can watch the fireworks on your room I only gave 3 stars because of the policy that they do not clean the rooms when requested I understand not cleaning daily but if requested, they should clean the room

Chelsea Jones

This was my first stay at the Modern and it was extremely disappointing and nothing special Without prior knowledge, on arrival we were told that there is no room cleaning and we have to ask for fresh towels and other room amenities when we need them, including putting our garbage outside the room Firstly, we are not in quarantine so I don’t know why this is the case and secondly it is not hygienic or pleasant to have used towels and garbage lying around every floor of the hotel corridors

The staff at the hotel are extremely slow at actioning requests When asking for towels, I waited up to an hour for them to be delivered on one occasion They also don’t answer the phone promptly and even before my trip I was trying to contact the hotel about my reservation and I had trouble contacting them via email and phoneThe pool is nice, nothing special The sun beds are filthy however- they could use an upgradePool bar closes at 9:30 which I thought was quite early for a hotel?The overall cleanliness of the hotel was disappointing- on arrival the room was far from spotless There were hairs on the bathroom floor and dust and dirt on the floor which I had to clean myself3 electrical sockets in my room were not working and the WIFI cut in and outWouldn’t bother staying again- apparently it has recently been acquired by Hilton so I hope they can whip the hotel into shape!

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!

I love love love this hotel! The view is beautiful, and it’s so clean everywhere I love their system for valet parking They’re very quick and friendly

We stayed on the 21st floor so the view of the mountains and Waikiki is beautiful However, we’ve been staying here for 4 nights and 5 days without cold water in the restroom When I said no cold water, I mean absolutely no cold water Imagine yourself showering with burning hot water that causes third degree burns This is such a traumatizing experience for me and my friends We’ve complained and was advised someone would do something about it, and nothing We couldn’t move to another hotel since everywhere is booked The hotel said someone was going to come and fix this problem, but then again they didn’t care to fix it I’m surprised not much could have been done If you’re unit have a water problem, you can move us to another room This is my first time to Hawaii and it could have been a very positive experience otherwise if it hasn’t been for this I understand there are situations where things just doesn’t work out, and we are just unlucky with the room having a malfunction However, how the hotel react to it is very important Such poor communication and management for such a nice place If you’re unlucky like us then you’re pretty much screwed I would not recommend this place

Tropical7

Enjoyed staying here Book lagoon (not Marina side, not city/concrete jungle side) #1130 was nice for what we needed

Blackout curtains would have been a nice addition Large balcony to have morning beverage or snack, tv, air conditioning, updated kitchen and shower, king bed and sofa bed Can view fireworks from balcony on Friday nights Would stay again Pool was nice Restaurant downstairs outside Ice cream, trinkets and some items at store at hotel like postcards, makeup bags, beach bags, soaps, beverages, snacks Very nice open air restaurant with fantastic history Walking distance to restaurants, beach and lagoon right there, Marina, perfect view from balcony

Vince K

Room was very nice, great view Centric location in Waikiki Plenty of food, shopping, and beaches in the area

Had fully stocked kitchenette, meaning utensils and cookware Temp was great but wish the fan/cooler could be aimed more at the bed Liked that all we had to do to check in/out was enter a code in the door lock Security was very nice during the few interactions we had with them Not sure if this is a normal thing with these kind of rentals but they only give you a ‘starter’ set of goods (tp, shampoo/conditioner, soap, lotion and towels) and then a small fee of you want more or buy some at the market in the lobby I guess my point is that you usually get those things from room service as part of your stay Was nice sitting on the open pavilion and enjoying a couple of meals at sunset They have two pools, technically Main one is a regular pool with an outdoor hose and then showers in the adjacent bathroom Higher level one was just a jacuzzi and a very shallow pool You will get jealous of neighbors on either side however cause the Hilton has a crazy water fall pool with decoration and the other side has gazebos all around the perimeter of their pool with a big round splash pad Would recommend

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!

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

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

CJ Simmons

Purchased room with ocean view If you leaned out the window you could see the marina…not exactly ocean view Staff used the elevators with their carts during peak hours, we waited multiple times for 15+ minutes, each time a car would stop, it was full of staff

Expect to pay, room rate plus $44 resort fee, $45 taxes and $65 parking each day Your $249 room is actually $400 Just FYI Our room, we were also lucky enough to share it with the elevators Very loud and very annoying Lagoon tower is garbage in my opinion Staff were very friendly, restaurants were good Super busy

E

The front desk attendants were exceptional! Sherry and Yuko were so welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding area for dining needs The location is perfect and proximal to the beach and shopping centers Very family friendly or solo traveler friendly

My only complaint was the room, which they quickly and professionally addressed Would recommend for any business or leisure trip

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!

Tricia Pearl

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

Claire Doak

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!

We had a wonderful week stay at the Grand Waikikian The check in and check out was quick and efficient The rooms are nice and are equipped with a kitchen and a washer/dryer in the unit

The customer service was excellent from the valet to the front desk The pools are nice but you do have to go early to get chairs they fill up quickly The resort is big it takes awhile to get use to where everything is The tapas bar has live music and the bands are great It is crowded but we never had issues getting an elevator to our room We are looking forward to coming back here again

Alissa Owenson

Just checked out after staying here for 7 days It was great to have a full kitchen, two bathrooms and the room was huge a lot of wasted space with the huge hallway but it was a great stay My most favorite thing was having a washer and dryer

I used it at least once a day It was so great being able to wash our beach towels at the end of everyday Not a ton of cooking utensils… definitely couldn’t cook a 5 course meal but enough to get by for small jobs The Hilton Hawaiian village is absolutely massive was packed with people and cars Parking is absolutely atrocious at $57 a day but nice location for in and out The pool nearest us with the water slide was cool but once we ventured farther we found the big pool right off Waikiki beach that was the spot They had tables next to the pool with servers Good drinks and good poolside food, reasonably priced If you are here on Friday night you have to make your way there once the sun goes down for fantastic fireworks Overall great stay!

I’ve been staying here for years If you choose this place you won’t be disappointedI enjoyed my stay I’ve stayed in the village before so I was familiar with the area Although checking in was a little slow, the concierge was friendly and helpful

Jef Black

Not as advertised – insane hidden fees – gross carpet – fake upgradesI was fooled by the reviews, pictures, description, and overall rating of this “resort” I’ll list the cons and then the pros since I believe in transparent, neutral, non biased reviewsCONS:- old, gross looking, dirty carpet in hallways to rooms on each floor- huge hidden fees (housekeeping $40 per cleaning, $40 lounge chair rental fee for pool area, $400 cabana rentals by the pool, $35 breakfast not included with room as advertised)- fake upgrade

I booked a partial ocean view, high floor room, and they explained they upgraded me for free to an ocean view They lied and gave me the same room I booked as they could not prove which room they had me booked in prior to the upgrade- The mini fridge was faulty and the door would not stay closed, causing us to lose lots of perishable items- The pool area is “reserved” after 7pm and impossible to find a free place to sit- Bed was older, spring mattresses, not pillow top or comfortable for a 5 star resort- NOT a 5 star resort as most travel sites claim it to bePROS:- Nice and friendly staff- Decent views as most of the surrounding hotels have views of other hotels- Centrally located in Waikiki, easy to get anywhere from thereDo your research, compare rates, look for hidden fees, upgrade items, know what it’s actually included in your hotel or resort

natasha Russell

The location was really good, although Waikiki is an extremely touristy place the rooftop bar feels like you have left the touristy streets The rooms were Nice (located in the beach side rooms)A fair few cons tho, although this should be a 4-5 star resort at times it didn’t feel like it We asked for a partial beach view, and was mainly buildings with a glimpse of beach

A man behind the bar (Chris I think?) was quite rude, we expect to have pool side/table service at all times, however, the man stated we had to come collect/order our food and drinks at the bar which meant kept having to get in and out of the pool (lots of staff still on duty) Although when the females were on duty, table service was allowed and we felt extremely welcomed! The music was extremely loud, could hear it on level 17 at 10pm I think the staff should also manage who leaves the pool, as seen, some would put towels on spare chairs and then leave for hours Or one lady put 4 towels on different chairs to “save them” then no one would show up for 3+ hours Also would recommend putting guests over walk ins on the pool lounges Our room was only ever cleaned 1/6 days The only other time was a house keeper coming at 5:30pm and we declined as it was night time and expect it to be done during the day Although, this all sounds so negative and I am not one to write a negative review but when you are paying a lot of money, you expect these certain things to be met or to not have as many negative things to say Overall, I’d say this is a 3 star hotel with the possibility of being a 4-5 star resort if fixing those issues

Christopher

Great location, comfortable and clean room, nice pool and jacuzzi, good service, food at bar/restaurant could use improvementI was in room 1962 king bed with ocean and diamond head view

Bed was clean and comfortable, slept well each night Air conditioning was easy to control and worked quickly and I believe automatically turned off if the patio doors were open Did not hear my neighbors at all unless I was out on the patio Yes the carpet looks dirty but it was a design choice not because it hasn’t been cleaned The mini fridge was the probably the only major failure in the room, it takes a long time to cool things and probably had food poisoning from some leftovers I put insideThe location is perfect All food options were within a 10 minute walk at most and the beach is just across the streetAll in all, a good, affordable modern hotel

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!

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

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

This review is based solely on the host we had, Tomomi She was incredibly kind and although our stay did not work out as planned, she was quick to accommodate a refund and was very polite about the entire situation This bed and breakfast has a ton of potential, and just needs a bit more love in regards to some moths and mold in the bathroom

Unfortunately with me being very pregnant, we ended up not staying due to those reasons Again though, we can not say enough kind things about the family that resides here and Tomomi who assists with guests All were so nice and understanding The landscaping was also incredible on property

Xadra Rettew

This bed & breakfast is in a wonderful location, I found this gem browsing orbitz with one room left available It was convenient because I paid in advance so check in with Tomomi was a breeze It is a very intimate quiet setting, it seemed like the owner& family lives there

They were all super polite! I managed to get a lot of great pics around the property that Tomomi helped me with after she served me a delicious customized breakfast Would recommend this to someone looking for a little escape to an exotic classical Hawaiian getaway ( very )close to town

DAVE CIRONE

First let me start off what a beautiful place this is It is a hidden jem 1 of a kind inn

Beginning with the front entrance and continuing thru out the house, wonderful artifacts, paintings, figurines, statues, and fun things that catch your eyeThen there is this garden, probably the best garden I have ever seen, so many things to look at and adore Gives you plenty of shade thru outAlso there is a salt water pool to enjoy in the middle of it allI can not say enough about the family that run it The owner was a great guy to talk to, alot of great info of the place and the island The woman who seems to run it Tomomi, she was the best, caring, host you can imagine, she took care of your check in, and made you comfortable to stayShe even cooked the breakfast the next morning Which was very very goodThe family makes you feel like your home!!! Will Definitely be backThank you guys for a great stay All the way from Chicago

We loved our stay at the Imperial Hawaiian! The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived We utilized the valet service which was excellent They had fresh towels for us when we needed them, a pool, sauna, and two outdoor hot tubs

The view of the sunset from the top floor was amazing We were within walking distance to almost everything in Waikiki, which was super nice since parking can be an issue at times Overall, our stay was great and we would definitely come back!

Todd Sivertsen

I’m not one to give reviews regularly; I hope this review helps We booked this hotel (2 adults, 2 children (14 and 18) I was nervous because the amenities and the price didn’t line up

We arrived and were not disappointed at all The room had 2 bedrooms with a pull-out bed Each kid got their own bed The staff was excellent The hotel has an ABC convenience store attached ABC has everything you would need (food, alcohol, coffee, Coke fountain machine, coffee and memorabilia)The room itself was nice although a little outdated but still nice (especially for the price) The location is great Walking distance (4 minutes) to the beach Restaurants and stores are literally next doorI highly recommend this resort

Alize Magyar

Staff was wonderful, kind, and incredibly helpful Rented some chairs for the beach at a bargain The rooms were spacious and very clean

My only complaints about the room was my pillows were a bit lumpy and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable Too firm for my liking The view from the owners lounge was spectacular and worth being an owner just for that Would definitely return to this resort next time in Waikiki if it’s available for my timeshare

Went here for our honeymoon- beautiful hotel but a lot of improvements could be madeThese were our negativesWe spent $4k to stay here for our honeymoon yet if you want a sunbed round the pool you have to get up early due to people leaving towels on them and disappearing until later in the dayIf you want a sunbed on the beach these are an extra $80 A DAY!!The ones which have four posts and a curtain attached are $200!!So for us even spending $4000 to stay at the hotel it seemed we were lower class and laid on the beach with sand blowing on us

One night we went to sit in the main bar area where the piano / music is played- with our coffees that we just bought at the hotel outside bar and was told the seats were only for people spending a two drink minimum- our coffees didn’t count – again we were made to feel like the poor lower class guestsThe last other thing was breakfast We had complimentary continental breakfast and the servers were very quick to point out it only included one drink and not lattes – again $4K spent to stay there and I can’t have a bit of steamed milk in my coffee I just think that’s very mean and poor formMaybe the managers making these rules should concentrate on the cleanliness as the restaurant could do with a dustThings were way overpriced in the hotel which I would expect but $12 for a (non alcoholic) frozen kona coffee from the pool bar TWELVE DOLLARS!!All in all nice hotel way overpriced

What a beautiful hotel! Staff was very friendly, accommodating Rooms way more than we expected and the ocean view fantastic! What a beautiful old hotel that’s been updated but still has it’s understated original charm and luxurious feel I can only imagine what the “First Lady” looked like in it’s early hey day

Hope to return and spend more time

Robert Sheldon

Great location, excellent service, and awesome beach Bathroom was a little dated, but the bed is comfortable, water is hot, and water pressure was good Our ocean view room had a beautiful view of Waikiki beach from the balcony

Good on site dining options, especially the breakfast You’re better off going across the street into the International Marketplace for multiple restaurant options for dinner

The room was spacious and the view we requested at purchase matched the description online It was amazing! The staff went above and beyond for us We misunderstood the housekeeping schedule (which was that they would clean your room every third day) and we requested daily cleanings after each night’s stay

Even though it wasn’t policy, the staff cleaned our room They totally didn’t have to do this but they did it anyway and we appreciate them appeasing us!Staff at the desk were amazing as well and greeted us each day by name and with a warm smile which is impressive considering they (and us) wore face masks! I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

Beth Rosencrans

We loved staying at the Lotus! The employees are so friendly and helpful They were all so nice to talk to! I loved the location as it was on Waikiki, but is located at the end so it’s a lot more quietIt can be argued that the Lotus is worth 5 stars, but I couldn’t do it because unfortunately, it is not located on the beach and does not have a pool or hot tub

There isn’t much they can do to change that and they have done their best to make it the best it can be They also have a fine dining restaurant that only serves dinner, so other meals were in town There is a small beach they have access to and they provide beach chairs which was fantastic They also serve complimentary wine in the afternoon and have bicycles to borrow to ride around town Rooms are spacious, updated and very clean – they also have a great view of Diamond Head and some water viewsI would absolutely recommend the Lotus to friends and will definitely return in the future It was a great week!

Print Away

We were paid $1500 for a two bedroom suite Which is fine if the hotel had any amenities It doesn’t have a pool, a restaurant, just a one person front desk

Zero view on the ocean Very little parking We were suppose to stay 4 nights but we just stayed one The location is not near restaurants If you want to walk through a parking lot and drag you beach chair chair over Not what I thought I was getting us We moved down got two rooms overlooking the beach near restaurant, house keeping everyday without asking for it All the amenities you could ask for and much more I never do reviews But after not reading the reviews before booking I had to put my two sense in It is clean

Benjamin Brummel

Very nice hotel with full kitchen and balcony (at least the two rooms I stayed in) Slightly upscale, but not excessive Pricing was reasonable and staff were super nice and helpful

Valet parking wasn’t exorbitant and they provide 24 hr vehicle access Overall, I’d recommend Luana if you have a mid range budget There are both cheaper and more expensive options nearby, but this place was great

Jesse Sinyster

Room was nice, balcony, sink, toaster oven, dishes and silverware It definitely hit all the right spotsExcellent for the Waikiki area

Short walk to the beach and a hop away from the shopping districtThe best part? The diner located in the hotel It was some of the best food we had on the entire island Price is perfect and portions were great Always satisfied with a meal from there

Sampath Durairaj

Our stay in Luana was excellent overall Room was clean and spacious, ocean view and the patio were great and the location was perfect! What compelled me to write a review was the support and care we received from Patricia Davis from housekeeping We forgot few valuables in the room and Patricia went above and beyond in getting them delivered to us

She showed empathy, care and diligence and kept us well informed through the process Her management of the situation and customer care was par excellence! Thank you Patricia!

My husband & I celebrated our honeymoon at Paradise Bay The views are astounding! Treat yourself to a mountain view suite! You won’t regret it! The views driving up to the main roads are also amazing! My husband was in love! Paradise Bay provides the quaint & relaxing feeling Yes, there are roosters but not heard all of the time

The grills, pool, docks are all amazing! The boat excursion with Brian & Captain Rollin a huge plus & amazing experience! No, they’re not serving breakfast or any dining but everything is within a 10 minute drive & they provide an excellent list of dining suggestions! Minor issues (pillowcase had stains, only 1 side of toaster working) but the views & your experience make those minor issues disappear! Would definitely come back one the breakfast & dining re-open (hopefully very soon!)

Dan Davis

Overall the resort is nice It’s clean and they have some great services The staff were all very friendly

My only complaint is that the walls are very thin You can hear your neighbors dishes, conversations, etc as if they were right in your room If they could fix that by adding insulation or removing doors that connect rooms, then they would be fantastic

Kate Oksendahl

The location was wonderful and staff were very friendly Rooms are basic (they’ve got a few TV subscription channels that you can log into if you have your own account) and walls are very thin My only issue was that they are still charging a $19 per night Resort Fee (half off) even though they aren’t serving breakfast and they additionally charge $15 per night for parking

The Resort Fee covers kayak rentals, the fitness room, and pool towels, but if you’re not using those things, it would be nice if it at least covered parking on their property This added up to an additional $200 for 5 nights I’d prefer that they just charge for amenities à la carte Otherwise, we had a great stay

What a beautiful property! From the doorman in the front to the managers, one of my favorite ! This property has the most amazing views, from all corners! The rooms are breathtaking, and all updated for the best and easiest experience! Turndown service was prompt and efficient, the staff always tip top! The rooftop pool and jacuzzi, so fun -especially in the eveningmy kids loved it

I stayed here this week from June 14th to June 18th, 2021im excited to tell everyone how great it was If you have a chance to meet RALPH, on of the managersthis young star is all about a great experience! We got thirsty one night, and asked for some water, and the super friendly lady brought us buckets fullshe was so pleasant and prompt, I will NEVER forget her The general manager and his staff, actually came to my room on the last day and actually thanked me for my staywho does this?? Yep, this was a class act, 5 stars all day My family enjoyed it, we all loved it My family prefers Maui over Honolulu , so we will probably not be back to this area for a while, but if ever do- for sure we will reach out to these superstars here!! I recommend them and their amazing property, all day!!! Mahalo!!

I spent my wedding weekend here for two nights and I wanted to stay forever The three bedrooms were perfect for the bride, groom, and wedding party of 14 to get ready There was a door that could be swung closed in the hallway to separate the 2k+ square foot space

It was also perfect because it was very luxurious, peaceful, and secluded — a rarity these days There were no footsteps running down the hall nor loud speaking individuals whose voices would echo off in the distance Looking back, I may have gone deaf and not know it Everything was blissful and ridiculously awesome Pretty much everything in the room was comped, so I didn’t have to worry about anyone consuming something they shouldn’t, and be slapped with an inflated bill later
The only downside was that the sauna wasn’t working yet That’s right, there’s a sauna beyond the shower in one of the bathrooms I wanted to sweat out the toxins from the night before, but I ended up hopping in the jacuzzi instead Next time I come back, I am looking forward to using the sauna and being straight pampered by the staff They are seriously A+, having gone above and beyond to make it the most memorable weekend of my life! ♥️

Ashley Brown

Excellent The staff was over the top friendly, helpful, and accommodating; the rooms, finishes, pool, and amenities are gorgeous and exceptionally clean Shari, Ralph, and Wesley (and the rest of the staff) were phenomenal

One example of the excellent service: I don’t eat gluten, so they went to a health food store to pick up fresh GF baked goods for me for breakfast every morning The location is in the heart of Waikiki beach so there is a bit of traffic noise, but since it was only the two of us, we just slept in the rear bedroom away from the street where it was very quiet The rooftop pool and jacuzzi provide an unobstructed panoramic view of the ocean, sunset, and surfers Thank you Espacio for providing an incredible experience and making our time in Hawaii unforgettable- we will without a doubt be back Fellow travelers: if you’re on the fence about staying here, just do it, you will not be disappointed

But more than anything, The entire staff made this an incredible experience You truly feel like they become friends Pony up and get a room with a beach view or better yet an ocean front We had a beach view which was nice but wished we had a beachfront once we saw them Location is amazing too! Away from the crazy Waikiki but yet close to everything! Thank you!

Our stay at this hotel was great! Right on the beach and near lots of park amenities like tennis courts, soccer field, and basketball courts Wide open stone walkway to run alone the shoreline Great views of Diamond Head and close, easy access to gas stations and restaurants

The older part of the hotel doesn’t have an elevator but it is key access to get to stairs Our room was 302 or 304 I believe We had the corner room on the third floor and it was awesome! Very roomy and loved the large balconies and 3 sliding doors to access each side We still had a partial ocean view Room was always nice and cool Fridge and microwave worked great The vanity had two sinks so it was easier to get ready Room was always clean everyday and everyone was always super nice to us Definitely will stay here again

This hotel is really awesome! A neat little mall like place on the first and second floor My girlfriend and I went downstairs to Kai Coffee to start our mornings too! We got the ocean view room and it was really nice! No bed bugs too! The room service comes a bit early, but they’re really friendly and nothing was stolen My only problem was the pillows are hard like bricks

Other than that our stay was perfect!

Rahul Krish

Location – 5/5 – Just amazing, right at the center of everything Beach was just outside, lot of great restaurants and shopping around They also have a car rental right at the hotel

Room – 5/5 – Was very clean, bathrooms were great, had a balcony with a decent view of the mountainsService – Room service was fantastic, they are very friendly and helpfulValue – 5/5 – We got a great deal, so I think it’s definitely worth itAmenities – 5/5 – They have a good gym, decent pool and a hot tub They provide beach towels as well Only thing I wish the package included was the beach umbrella, but you can get one for 10 bucks a day right outsideParking – Was fairly expensive, so we didn’t end up using itI would recommend renting a car only when needed and not throughout your stay as most of the bars , beach and restaurants are within walking distanceOverall, it was a very pleasant stay! Highly recommended!

Simon Cai

Amazing place overall!!! Spending our honeymoon here, and the oceanfront room we got had a simply magnificent view The hotel is literally seconds away from the beach, so if you enjoy hearing soothing sounds of the waves then this is for you, though may not be everyone One small item is that the shower could be updated a bit, but the room itself from the bed to the bidet(!) to just the general setup with the lounger facing the ocean is just fantastic

Would definitely recommend!

Beakers hotel, is very old, and you can see it in construction, design and efficiencyWith that being said, I still give it five starsThe staff is nice, the rooms are clean and came with a miniature kitchen/ dishes(microwave, electric stove top)

The balcony has no view but it’s a nice Hideaway to be outside and read a book or chill The pool is clean and beautiful located in the courtyard Right out side the door is a ABC convenience store and a shaved ice shop The beach is about two blocks away free parking is extremely limited And the shopping is walking distance The zoo is about a good walk away

Will Boelts

My wife and I could not have had a better experience at The Breakers The location was perfect – only a half a block to Waikiki Beach The room we stayed in was delightfully vintage and absolutely spotless and the housekeepers were very attentive throughout our whole stay

The front desk staff made us feel welcome throughout our whole stay We really feel we couldn’t have picked a better place to spend a week in Honolulu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
