Top Waikiki Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Kaimana Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location. Clean place. Staff was nice. Restaurant insanely expensive for what you get. No fitness room. Bikes not really available, misleading in hotel description. They say they will reimburse you if you rent city bikes. Huge hassle. No coffee pot in room unless you ask for it specifically. You can buy a $6 cup of drip coffee at their coffee shop."

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room in the Tower. Excellent room that was recently renovated. Great view of the ocean. Great location close to everything. Biggest negative is the pool area is way too small. I saw people going down at 5 to 6 am in the morning to get a seat near the pool. Way too few beach chairs and umbrellas. We were there a week and they were already booked out for the entire week. Those were the 2 biggest negatives."

Waikiki Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very basic breakfast. A hotel this size and rating should rethink what and how they preset the food, and what they offer."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"They didn’t have some amenities like robes slippers or steamers. But overall it was a lovely stay"

Ewa Hotel Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Love the lanai, clean room and friendly and helpful staff"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"All was great!!"

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff members were very warm, welcoming and accommodating. The hotel location is perfect. Just a short 3-5 minute walk to the beach, about 7 to 10 minutes to the International Marketplace. The cleaning staff ensured tour room was kept immaculate and well-so supplied. The valet parking rates are a bit high but only $10 per day higher than the nearby parking garages. The check-in and check-out process was easy and efficient."

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a beautiful room that had the balcony overlooking Diamond Head, ocean and the zoo! Loved the balcony and all the windows!! The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained!! I loved the location because it was an easy walk to the beach and downtown Waikiki! Pool was great too!!"
