A great PX with souvenirs for cheaper prices than ABC Stores! Good selection of snacks and also beach stuff (sunscreen, toys, etc.) Open 9-9. read more

100% ID/sponsor eligibility check. Conveniently located inside the Hale Koa property, it is such a treat to have a store that carries essentials, food, drinks, alcohol, souvenirs, and even clothes. If you forget something on your trip this place becomes your saving grace! The staff is friendly and helpful. Upon my first purchase my kids picked up mac and cheese and the lady who was checking IDs by the self check out line handed us spoons without being asked! I wouldn't have even thought of asking. We've stopped here for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, even hotdogs and fruits! I've also seen patrons purchase additional luggage from here! Thank you for having a PX on site! We appreciate you! read more

We visited here before and after a cruise. It was a great place for our pre- and post-cruise activities.

Nicely stocked location w/lots of tropical clothes, basic food products with a good local selections. They had a lot souvenir gift items & food, snacks & beverages including alcohol. read more

It was so nice having this on the Hale Koa property. Snacks, souvenirs, even an extra suitcase to bring home those souvenirs were all purchased at the exchange. The location was convenient and the selection was great! read more

Love love love the hale koa. Great prices lots. Portions are generous. And the atmosphere is the best. Food is good. Solid meals.

A great place to find any you forgot on your trip. And when it is time to buy souvenirs this is the place to pick them up.

What a wonderfully well stocked store that has a little bit of everything. The folks that work there are so very nice as well. The selection of everything they stock (food, clothing, souvenirs) is amazing. read more

Nice and convenient PX right on the property. Great self-check kiosks also! Please stock smaller-sized items to fit inside the mini-refrigerators OR get the Hale Koa to put bigger fridges in the rooms! read more

Most of the prices at the Post Exchange at the Hale Koa (military only and their sponsored guests) hotel were pretty good, considering it's Waikiki on the beach! We went looking for a hat and found allow inventory and a poor selection, especially for women. My DIL found cute sandals for $20 and my son looked fir a nice Hawaiian shirt and found Tory Richards for $73... but there were cheaper $30 shirts in back. A case of water set me back a lot-- but was still the cheapest option. In all, super convenient if you're staying in Waikiki at the Hale Koa as it's next to the lobby and down one floor, on the way to the adult pool or beach! read more

We had the opportunity to stay at the Hale Koa Hotel and Resort this past September 2022 and found the Post Exchange to have pretty much anything we were looking for while staying at the hotel. Thank you to the staff for looking out for us, having this type benefit readily available certainly makes the service member feel appreciated. Again, thanks Nicasio Diaz (Ret.) 1SG US Army read more

Way back in 1962 the predecessor to this exchange was in a mobile building on Ft DeRussey. We purchased my wedding ring there. We come back almost every year after I retired USN. read more

Nice selection and friendly staff. A pleasant surprise away from home! Plus the 15% off rewards program is awesome

This place is great! It has a little bit of everything. Plus, everything is nicely priced.

Well I checked in to the Hale Koa on a Tuesday so the Exchange was out of orange juice. Wednesday they were out of low fat milk! You can buy bread there but not butter. They seem to do a much better job at managing the inventory of aloha shirts than of groceries! And they sell milk and juice in containers too large to fit the mini-fridges in the hotel rooms. I believe most customers at this Exchange are hotel guests, so why are they so tone deaf? It's certainly convenient, but I have to go to ABC or elsewhere to buy basic food items. read more

What a great store for all the military with the well deserved prices and everything you need to enjoy the holiday. The staff is top notch and so welcoming. The one review below on price gouging is so wrong, yes I guess you can drive to the JB Pearl harbor and get all your staples then drive back, but time and gas spent, c'mon please! read more

Always nice service, great prices, and so much packed into a small space! Now they're closed Mondays since Covid. Plan ahead!

We have stayed at the Hale Koa many time, and really enjoyed our stays. Also we shop at the Exchange and know that some but not all are higher, it sure is nice as we are older and makes it easier for us. For the guests that have a problem find out who u need to speak to about any problems you might have, as we do not know about a persons life. I think I remember the person your talking about, as I left I smiled and said I hope your day gets better , and I sure felt better doing that than getting upset, I think she was totally taken back by responds to her. Everyone sure enjoys their time there so be happy and have fun read more

Visit multiple times a day when staying at the Hale Koa. Except Sundays since they are closed due to Covid .

Very nice to be able to use this, being a veteran. A lot of useful items but a little short on grocery items.

So happy to find this exchange. Compared prices with ABC stores and what a difference. One pound of Kona ground coffee is $5.99 wand ABC had it for $15.99. Milk was $2.99 a half gallon where a gallon at ABC was $10.99. Wish there was a bigger assortment of food goods to eat in room as it is so nice to just grab a bite and relax after a day at beach. read more

Price gouging in HAWAII Alert! $5.00 for a 8 oz bag of chips, $2.45 at commissary $2.00 bottle soda, .90c at Commissary. Im reporting zero Aloha.Military fighting for your freedom! Shame management! Disgusting! It's not like they are remote location. Bad attitude as well. read more

Located on the bottom floor of the resort, it's really more like an Exchange Shoppette and hotel gift shop combined. They carry a little bit of everything and will save you a trip to one of the military base exchanges. Beachtowels, swimsuits, sunglasses, jewelry, snacks, drinks, souvenirs. Don't forget that sunscreen. read more

Short walk from other Waikiki hotels. Great shop for the basics and well worth the walk. Cashier was friendly and pleasant. Wish they had more grocery items, but understand the limit space. If you are eligible, stop in and see the less expensive items they stock. read more

You think those mini post exchanges scattered your favorite military base are small? Nah dawg. You've gotta see this place. It's the size of a living room, but they somehow managed to have everything you need. Seriously folks. Pick up some cheap liquor, some Royal Hawaiian crunchy snacks and a spicy tuna roll and you're all set. read more

I am so thankful for this place. I was able to get snacks, hair product that I left at home, a dress for the luau, a shirt for my husband, gifts for people back home, Wine, wine, wine, sushi,... It is great having this exchange on site!! read more

Thank goodness for the Exchange. We saved a lot of money. We came here each day during our trip. They have everything you need.

Lots of great options to choose from, and significantly cheaper than getting the same items from other vendors/businesses - picked up 3 Tori Richard shirts for 30% off - they also have one of those jewelry counters with the pearls in the oysters, 20% lower prices than the ones around the other hotels/malls read more

Talk about low prices! Since we had a family member that was active military. We were able to shop at the BX and save a ton of mula! This place are great! They have all kind of cool stuff like groceries, liquor, clothing, and a gift shop. You have to check this place out if you're staying at this Hotel. read more

We did quite a bit of shopping here since we stayed at the Hale Koa for 12 days and although things are priced well the staff are utterly rude. Not like the rest of the island Is happy and helpful. On our final day we needed another luggage and besides pink there was a single "large" suitcase and several medium. No price on the single large so figured that the cashier could look it up but boy was I wrong. She told me to look in the back which I proceeded to and NO large suitcase. She indicated no price no suitcase. I left the large suitcase because I needed that size but I finally opted for a medium and got back in line to a different cashier who was much more pleasant. It was 10:40 on May 29. She was in the first register by the fruit. She needs to work on her rudeness and laziness. When I was in line no one else was there "check the cameras". I even put the large suitcase back where I got it so no one would say anything. I hope she's not here when I return next year. read more

This exchange is awesome!! Having it located right inside of the hotel is so convenient. I saved a ton of cash by shopping here! read more

Hale Koa Post Exchange - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Small Exchange at the Hale Koa that has just about everything a tourist would need, from souvenirs to food. Also nice selection of booze for those inclined to partake. Some of the staff is super friendly and helpful. As couple of the gals had attitudes, not sure why but it was immediately apparent that they were doing us a favor to work there for us. Anyway, you can stay at the Hale Koa and not go there almost everyday and I am sure you will be glad you did. read more

Very convenient, had lots of essentials. We were in here most everyday, and it was so nice to have the essentials right at our hotel! This is rare to find, and for decent prices! The reason this isn't 5 stars - the staff is just NOT FRIENDLY!!!!!! "Good morning, M'am" would how we would start our conversation with the ladies at the register - and most of the time they would say nothing back, or we'd get a scowl (the same level of service we received from most all of the staff at the Hale Koa). read more

if i could give negative stars, i would. being a local boy born and raised on Kauai, this might have been the worst customer service i have ever had in hawaii, and i am not exaggerating. got in the store, no hi, no f u, nothing. so i said okay whatevers. there was two self-checkouts that had people. so i went to the african american gentleman at the counter. he didn't say hi, didnt say did u find everything u were looking for today? nothing. i pulled out my cacc card and he looks at it and just gives me a little head nudge. rings me up, doesnt tell me the total. inserted my card and paid. after i paid, didnt ask if i need the receipt as it was already awkward, so i said i dont need a receipt. he nudges his head again and that was the entire transaction on my first day back home. he was talking to a chick who also works there. was standing right in front of me and didnt say have a good day, f u, nothing. i have been all over the world, this has to be the worst shopping experience i have ever had. will never go to this exchange again and my ohana and i won't book with the hale koa again. read more

Great mini exchange with a good selection of quick foods and souvenirs. Extremely convenient!

The HK PX has the most convenient hours of operation. Of course, it's only for those with a military ID (currently serving and retired). Some of the souvenirs are cheaper here than ABC store. The employees were also nice and friendly. read more

I love the Hale Koa! Every year I visit, I have a wonderful time with my husband. The post exchange is so convenient and a great place to buy gifts and things you may want/need while staying in the hotel. They have a nice selection of alcohol, beach wear, not-so-healthy foods, and drinks. read more

I completely agree with the previous posters who commented on the overall rude attitudes of the staff here at the Hale Koa and especially at the exchange. It has been a very off-putting experience so much so that I'm not staying here again. We previously stayed at Kanehoe and will stay there again next time. This was our first and last time staying at the Hale Koa. read more

Did you forget something on your trip? Need more sunblock or a Luau shirt? This place has you covered. I knew it was going to be there, so I intentionally left shampoo and sunblock at home to save weight. They had it there. Tons of Hawaiian shirts and dresses for festivities while here. Open till 2300, so even late night cravings can be met. Anyone staying at the hotel can shop here. My stepson and his fiancée were in another room. I sponsored them into the room, so they were given a temporary shopping card to buy at the exchange. The only thing they couldn't buy was tobacco and alcohol products. Don't need to shop around for prices or go to Hickam to get better prices. They are the same here, not jacked up hotel rates you normally find. read more
