The guest experience

8.6out of 10
2416 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Prime Waikiki location
  • Stunning room views (Diamond Head)
  • Direct beach access
  • Pools and family-friendly amenities
  • Clean rooms / attentive housekeeping (named staff praised)
  • On-site activities (lei making, ukulele) and shops

Worth knowing — Perceived as overpriced / value concerns · Inconsistent / occasionally poor service · Crowded facilities / early-reserved pool chairs and long elevator waits · Limited dining options and slow F&B service · Amenities gaps noted (no spa, limited activity hut availability, restricted pool hours)

How guests scored the stay

  • Location9.8

    Consistently lauded: prime Waikiki location, direct beach access, proximity to restaurants and shops, and frequent praise for room views (Diamond Head).

  • Overall Experience9.6

    Overall leans positive due to location, views and pools, but tempered by inconsistent service, amenity limitations and occasional maintenance issues; guest experiences vary from highly satisfied to strongly negative.

  • Cleanliness9.0

    Generally praised — multiple reviews note tidy, well-cleaned rooms and specific staff keeping rooms clean, though one detailed review mentioned old/smelly bathrooms.

  • Room Quality9.0

    Rooms frequently praised for stunning views and good layouts (corner suites), though a few guests reported dated bathrooms or fixtures in some rooms.

  • Amenities8.4

    Positive aspects include pools, direct beach access, lei/ukulele activities and plentiful on-site shops; negatives include limited/wonky activity hut service, early-reserved pool chairs, no on-site spa for some guests and restricted pool hours.

  • Service8.3

    Mixed sentiment: several reports of poor or rushed/front-desk interactions and unhelpful activity staff, but also standout positive service mentions (e.g., outstanding customer service, praise for Arlene and AC).

  • Value for Money7.4

    Mixed-to-negative: multiple guests felt the property was overpriced or that they 'paid for the view,' offset by guests who felt satisfied overall.

  • Food and Beverage7.3

    Several mentions of limited menu options, long waits (e.g., 40 minutes for pool orders) and only one main restaurant; some food/service described as fair but not exceptional.

    “I was upgraded to a suite that was very very far from the elevators, but was extremely nice. Bellman helped me move things from our event to the suite and then to my car. Enjoyed the suite immensely.”
