Located on the 5th floor of the Prince Waikiki hotel. We loved the drinks. The servers were always nice and attentive. We heard live music on Friday night. I enjoyed ordering drinks while relaxing in the jacuzzi. We ordered several gin and tonics and piña colada. We also ordered açaí bowls and wings for the kids. It was a treat to watch Friday fireworks from here. Between the live music, the cool breeze, and the festive sky display, our holiday felt so celebratory in every way! read more

Relaxing at the Prince Waikiki Hotel pool since early morning and didn't realize the Bar doesn't open until 11:00am for drinks & snacks. I waited and the hostess came around the pool area to take the guests orders. I wanted a non-alcoholic drink and Sarah suggested the Lava Flow. Mahalo Sarah for the recommendation because Lava Flow quenched my thirst. read more

Me and my wife weren't sure where to host our wedding reception but thought, why not the hotel we are staying at. I was a little skeptical at first having it at the pool bar but the manager of the bar, Jeremy really made everything perfect. He made planning so easy despite being across the country. Menus and drinks were easy to choose and he answered any questions we had promptly. The Hinana Bar is located on the 5th floor of the prince. You get a good view of the harbor and the city. We had our own area and stage reserved for just our party. The food and drinks were on point and the staff we're focus on us the whole time. All things considered, the party wasn't too bad price wise. I would've got charged way more at these other venues so I appreciate them working with me and my wife. If you want a relaxing time with great service, food, and drinks, you want to head to the Hinana Bar. read more

Located in the Prince hotel, we were looking for someplace close to meet with friend before leaving Honolulu. This place was the bar attached to the pool but overlooking the beautiful ocean and sunset. Great location. Service was fast and they accommodated all 8 of us. Food and drinks were very good. Loved their Ahi dip with chips and the prime rib tacos. Also reasonably priced read more

Hinana Bar is located on the 5th floor inside the Prince Waikiki hotel. Prince is a beautiful luxury hotel in Waikiki. Delivering a nice poolside bar with views of the harbor and comfortable seating. Fun spot even for locals. We like coming here for their special events that are open to the public. Very relaxing and laidback atmosphere. This time around we came for the special night they had: Vodka & Vinyl featuring DJ O'Spliff from Aloha Got Soul. Great DJ and happened to follow him here for this experience. Cocktails: $16. Reasonable price for location and ambiance. Got the Ginger Rodgers and Juke Cuke. Cocktails were a little too sweet and had a lot of ice. Decent flavor though. Service was attentive. A few weeks ago, they were doing a special showing of HIFF movies and got to see The Wind & Reckoning. Fantastic movie. They also have beautiful paintings by local Native Hawaiian artist Solomon Enos throughout the hotel. The Stargazers of Hawaii is also a really unique experience held by a local astronomer, Nick! Mesmerizing views of the Moon, Saturn, Milky way, star-clusters, etc. We hope they continue doing fun events like these. read more

I'm not sure who but a guest at the Prince Waikiki would come to this resort-style poolside bar. Perhaps random hotel bar hoppers who go from resort to resort and get sloshed. I think I saw a couple in matching aloha shirts who fit that description. That might've been our fate were Jamie W. and I not guests of this luxury hotel (review: https://bit.ly/3LxxAfn) . This is on the fifth floor where you walk through a nondescript hallway to get to not only the bar but the pools. We stopped by to check out the action and found ourselves ordering $17 tropical cocktails - a Pina Colada and a Mai Tai (photo: https://bit.ly/3JLd61o). A bit pricey yes but it did include live entertainment and a relaxing aloha vibe. COCKTAILS - 3.5 stars...a nice sweet kick but also quite a kick to the wallet AMBIANCE - 4 stars...very much a high-end resort SERVICE - 4 stars...very attentive...peel me a grape TOTAL - 4 stars...go for the experience RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Purchased a day pass to enjoy the infinity pool here while my sister was visiting. We rented a cabana. There are beautiful ocean views and a variety of drinks and food items to enjoy. It was pure relaxation! You get 2 refillable water bottles, towels, and sunscreen with your cabana rental. We ordered some lava flows, a Prosecco, and a Lilikoi passion drink. All the drinks were good. The Lilikoi passion was slightly sour. For food we ordered the Poke with the nori rice chips and the hurricane tater tots.The poke was fresh and the tots were good a little salty but crispy. The servers are laid back and attentive. I love that we can bring our drinks into the pool and order right from there or our cabana. This is a great place to stay or enjoy for the day. The views are great and the service is awesome. You also get complimentary valet and self parking with your day pass. read more

The Hinana bar is one of a few places in the Prince Waikiki hotel that you can get food from. We have stayed here a few times and it was a great time. The poolside service of the waitstaff is great because you can swim and enjoy your time without having to wait in line for food. They bring everything out in cute bento boxes. That's nice considering the pool is located below many rooms and I would hate to have something fall in my food. We ordered the crab and lobster sweet roll and the hurricane tater tots, toppings on the side. My husband said the crab and lobster roll was the same from two years ago when we stayed here. That's pretty good considering that was right after COVID time and many things can change. Sandwich came with fries which pleased the kiddos. The tatter tots were very crunchy with the toppings on the side. The kids loved trying all the sauces themselves as I'm sure they wouldn't have liked it as much with the tater tots dressed. The setting is nice day and night. If your lucky you can catch the firework show poolside while sipping your drinks. If you are in the area, stop by for some live music or DJ beats and definitely try the crab and lobster sweet roll! read more

Went on Friday night for a free Paula Fuga concert 2 drink minimum. We got the Kona Brew seltzers bucket of 4 ($25) which comes in tropical flavors. My friends joked it was like "dirty water" with only 5% alcohol but it's a good option for those who don't want to drink too much but want something light and refreshing to make them feel like they're participating in drinking. We also got the lilikoi passion, a tequila based drink with li hing flavor and the maitai. Both were good and pretty to look at except for the plastic cup. Everything here is served in plastic which feels odd at a nice hotel, especially since we are technically no longer in a pandemic. For food we got the tater tots with were pretty tasty with Sriracha mayo, Kabayaki sauce, Furikake and kakimochi. Other friends got the chicken wings with shishito peppers and fish and chops which looked and smelled good. It has a nice resort casual open air atmosphere with friendly and professional service. It is breezy so you may want to take a light sweater or jacket even on a beautiful summer night. On Friday nights you can get a nice view of the fireworks from the pool deck read more

Pool bar, some tables under the shade. There was a fun DJ whose music selections made us kids from 1961 smile and move to the beat. Men. Women. We ALL enjoyed the heck out of the fruity drinks, despite the fact men don't usually order them. Mai Tais. Pina Colada's with an extra dark rum float. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Bathrooms right around the corner. Clean. Fries hit the spot at the end before we departed. read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was about 5pm and when we got there it was still bright, the sun was still out, but where we sat, the sun was blocked by the building so it was really shady. At some point, it did drizzle for like a minute, where we ended up going into the cabana. The hostess didn't mind since it was not busy and we didn't wanna get rained on. Our girl was really nice, and she took really good care of us. The food, was delicious. It was portioned out to share with one another. Everything tasted really good. I especially enjoyed the tater tots and the chicken. They were very tasty! The drink was yummy! I love li hing so that was perfectly sweetened to me. Others said it was a bit too sweet for them. The ahi dip was good, would be nice for it to be thicker, & have more fish bites. Anyway, our night was really good here! Heard they also have live music sometimes, so hopefully one day I can stop by when there's live music. read more

Aloha! I know this review is intended for the Hinana Bar, but I wanted you to know about the rest of the property too! I first came to the Prince Waikiki Hotel (formerly named Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki) in 2006 to attend the Made In Hawaii Festival at the Blaisdell Center. I chose this hotel because of its proximity to Waikiki as well as being able to walk to the Blaisdell Center. I had a room in the Ewa Tower with a lanai that overlooked the pool deck. Having traveled to Hawai`i 34 times before moving here in 2010, I had to make sure that O`ahu was where I wanted to wind up! Over the years, Stephen and I have attended many music events at The Hinana Bar located on the pool deck (5th floor). We love being able to sit and relax listening to the amazing artists performing their music. Our current favorite is Melanie (https://melaniiemusic.com) on Friday nights from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Sometimes Jenn Wright ("JRoQ") will play with her, alternating with John Manion. The Hinana Bar features delicious drinks (our favorites of course are the Maitai's, Froze's, Aperol Spritz's, to name a few). They also offer a menu of food items with the flatbread pizzas being our "go to" choice. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. Make sure that you say aloha to Maria, Terri, Howard, Sharelle, Mariz, Kawelo, and the bartenders, Cullen and Tammi. (and in case I forgot someone, it's because I'm old, sorry!) Last month was my birthday. Stephen wanted to surprise me, so he booked a beautiful "Ocean Front Premier" room on the 29th floor of the Diamond Head tower for 3 nights. We had a spectacular view, delicious meals from room service (provided by 100 Sails Restaurant and Bar on the 3rd floor). An added surprised was the poolside cabana that he booked. The girls from Hinana Bar knew that we were coming, and they even decorated the cabana just for me. I felt so special. The drinks flowed all day, concluding with a spectacular sunset. I've heard that people often buy for a friend or partner's birthday, something that they like themselves, so Stephen's birthday this past weekend was a no-brainer. I was able to secure a similar room on the 30th floor of the Diamond Head Tower, but this room was at the opposite end and gave us such an amazingly different view than last month. Of course, I repeated history by securing a poolside cabana and this time we dined at 100 Sails on Stephen's birthday. We each had the ribeye steak with lobster tail... it was so delicious. I guess you would call it a "GWP" (Gift With Purchase) as Stephen surprised me by extending our room one more night. I can't believe how relaxing it was to lay around catching up on Grace & Frankie, eating veggie puffs, finishing the last seltzers in the fridge, then strolling down to the pool for a couple final cocktails and refreshing dip in the infinity pool. I can't say enough good about this property. The valet and front desk staff is great, housekeeping was friendly and efficient, and the entire hotel is well maintained, in fact, they had just started to refinish the wood deck at the pool. If I worked in the Hospitality Industry, this would be the place that I would want to be employed. Overall, the vibe is "higher-end" with a level of class and sophistication, but without that "stuffy" feeling of some of the other "Ritzy" Resorts. We felt very comfortable and can't wait for our next excuse to drive down the street to check in... funny thing, we arrive at the hotel from home before the A/C in the car has a chance to cool us down! We hope your stay at the Prince Waikiki Hotel and Hinana Bar is as great as ours have been. They always seem to meet and exceed our expectations. Aloha~ read more

Came here for drinks and a spread. Some drinks were better than others. Food was good. Service was good too.

Service was great. Drinks are good according to my girlfriends. The crab roll was excellent and the fish and chips was good ; kudos for it being pan seared and not fried. The glaze was really good on the fish read more

Dreadful non existent service here. Came here two days in a row cos friends are staying at the hotel. You could be sitting here the whole afternoon and evening, and the wait staff will just look at you and yawn. If you head up and order at the bar, the uninterested and unsmiling waitstaff will grudging take your order. At least he remembers our drinks from yesterday. Maybe because we are only one of 10 people here. Save yourself the trouble and either head to 100 Sails or somewhere else, don't ruin your vacation here. read more

Hinana Bar - Non existent service by the Pool - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The sole reason I even knew about this place was because I heard Justin Kawika was going to play here. So after work, I sauntered on over to the Prince Waikiki on a weeknight, naively thinking parking would not be an issue. It was. I ended up parking over by the harbor. Good thing is, they no longer make you pay for parking! Once you arrive at the Prince, there are no signs directing you to the bar. So I asked the front desk where it was and she kindly directed me to a set of elevators and told me to take them to the 5th floor. The bar is technically by the pool, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it a "pool bar". The space is extremely limited as is the menu. The line for drinks on a week day was outrageous. No place to sit. Service was non-existent. You're better off packing your own dinner/lunch/drinks and bring your beach chairs up there. I most likely will not be making my way back there - unless there is another performer I would like to see. read more

The cocktails were good, that's pretty much it. Ordered for some food, the waitress said it would take 15-20mins and it came after an hour very cold and dry. Really poor experience and the staff was also not very courteous / welcoming. read more

What a beautiful hidden gem at the Prince Hotel. I totally would of given this place 5 stars as the drinks were good, service excellent and views magnificent. Its just that it was super windy and with all empty cabanas and charging extra for unwindy unused space during a pandemic was just inappropriate during a time when tourism is down 76%. But we sat in the wind enjoying beautiful live music from a solo guitar player who we generously tipped since he was so good! We started our sunset cocktails with a beautiful vibe as we waited for a table downstairs at their japanese restaurant. The view was seriously better than any waikiki resort or Maui resort we have visited as we have stayed at the best! From Ritz Carltons to Four Seasons..the aloha from this place was contagious as the girls working tried their best. Again, its blowing wind..and I understand they were just following the rules. If they only offered their unused cabanas and wind blocked spaces, tourists and cash paying patrons like us would of had a better experience. So, if the management would reconsider this on those super windy days when occupancy is 10%..the guy playing beautiful music gets more tips, customers stay longer, bartender gets more tips..and its called survival. So unless management rethinks these rules..I will say, visit this piece of paradise, enjoy the music and great drinks..just dont go on a windy day! read more

Service is slow and the waiters can be a little dismissive depending on what you look like...but the food is great! I ordered the wagyu burger and ahi tacos, both were fantastic! Ahi tacos had the perfect amount of spice and the wagyu burger was juicy/cooked to my liking. Next time I stay at Prince Waikiki, I will definitely pay the rooftop bar another visit :) read more
