“A good stay.”
We stayed four nights at this hotel. The entire staff was THE BEST! Each person we encountered was pleasant and very helpful. We had stayed at another hotel a few blocks from the Aqua Palms which was in the same price category and that other hotel could not hold a candle to our experience at the Aqua Palms. I would like to note that this hotel claims it is and "all suite" type hotel. It really is only a hotel room which is clean, comfortable, quiet, with a microwave oven and a mini refrigerator. There is no stove, sink (except the bathroom sink), only a coffee maker and cups for dishes. So do not think you will be cooking anything other than warming food in the microwave.
“Good value”
The Aqua Palms is a comfortable hotel. Our room was small but well planned, with a wall separating the fridge and the bathroom from the two beds. We loved our balcony and enjoyed everyday visits from birds there. We liked the microwave, the ironing board and the plug-in internet access, which is more secure. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and even though we only had city view, it was nice. This hotel is close to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and to the lagoon that is right by the Hilton. With the ocean on one side and the lagoon on the other side, this is a pretty beach. This hotel is within walking distance to the world's largest open air-mall, which has restaurants and lots of fun shops. Aqua Palms hotel is on a busy street, which is noisy but we got used to the noise and slept well. This is a good hotel for the price.
“Happy Repeat Customers”
This was our 4th stay with Aqua Palms. When we went to our room it was not what up to what we expected. We went down to the check-in desk. The clerk was quick to understand and within 5 minutes we were in new room. We were and are very pleased with the manner this problem was resolved.
“Awesome!!!”
Staff was amazing! Very helpful and sincere! Room was very clean and comfortable. Value was exceptional and we will stay here again and suggest to anyone. Great location for town and the beach when walking, no need for a car!
“super friendly staff; some rooms small”
We had a very positive experience overall. Lots of other reviews talked about the elevators, so we were wary; but there was no problem. The staff was extremely nice, especially to our 8 month old baby who tended to get up at 3 am because of the time change -- we took him to the lobby, and the staff helped us play! The room was very comfortable, but it was small. We had one of the for-looks-only balconies -- every other room has a real vs ornamental one. The only drawback we found was that if people were staying in the rooms next door, we could hear every word of their conversations if they were on their balcony and our balcony doors were open (we prefer fresh air to AC). But otherwise, it was a great stay. Comfortable bed, decent price, great staff.
“One of the most comfortable hotel stays I've ever had”
The hotel staff was very courteous and informative. The room was comfortable, especially the bed. I loved how we had a microwave and fridge in the room. It was very useful since we were there on a limited budget and only staying a couple days. The bathroom was a bit small and it would've been nice to have the sink area away from the shower. The pool was very nice, just missing a hot tub. That would've been helpful from our aching feet and backs from all the walking we did! the location is great. Close to everything so we were able to walk or take the bus everywhere. We live in Maui and were expecting more "big city attitude" and didn't experience that at all at this hotel. The only issues we had was the room keys didn't want to work when we checked in. Had to go back to the front desk a couple times.
“Very satisfied”
Close proximity to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and walking distance to Duke Kahanamoku beach was good for us . Not so close to Waikiki . That requires a little walk. But we didn't mind that at all. Bus stop right by the hotel was a big plus for us. No problem with the pool. Adequate for a nice dip and for morning coffee. Loved our balcony. Opened the sliding doors and sat on the balcony every day. Enjoyedthe 24 hour coffee machine in the lobby and the free apples at the front desk. Paid parking in the hotel was adequate. Might be cheaper at the Fort DeRussy parking garage right across the street. . Front desk staff provided excellent service and were extremely helpful. The hotel provided beach towels everyday. That too was a big plus. Price was right. Big screen tv was awesome. Had 2 queen size beds as requested.
“satisfied”
relatively close to Waikiki and quite cheap.
“good place near everything”
This is a cute hotel, nice staff and helpful, everything is right there and a close walk to the beach, the spa is small but they give a great massage. I would stay there again and recommend this hotel.
“Very nice will always stay here on stops thru HNL”
Great for the money clean and convienent
