Late lunch at Hau Tree resto
Jessica J.

This spot is truly a hidden treasure. It sits right on the beach andgenerally quieter than the main drag of Waikiki - at least on the ocean side. Albeit, I heard folks who stayed on the mountain side woke up to roosters. The restaurant downstairs is delicious with some unique not to miss dishes. Just make sure you have reservations or go at a non-peak time. I really enjoyed the free lei making class with Kara. They also have other classes but just make sure you sign up in advance. You can see the fireworks show on Fridays from here. Free towel service and reef friendly sun block at the front desk. Overall, great experience and plan to return! Aloha

The Kaimana Beach Hotel is a great option for a low key resort experience. It is a charming, locally owned hotel that is just outside the bustle of Waikiki. They don't have some of the amenities people might be expecting, such as a gym, pool, or continental breakfast. They do offer some fun cultural events (like lei making, hula, stand up paddle boarding, etc.) and host local artists for live music some afternoons. We've stayed in both a regular room and a junior suite. Their regular rooms are quite small but were perfectly adequate for us for a few nights. The junior suite was spacious and had an amazing lanai and ocean view - all of which comes at additional price, of course. Kaimana Beach is just steps outside the hotel, and the resort fee will get you beach chairs and towels. There's sunscreen available in the lobby if, like me, you forget to bring your own. I've seen this hotel described as boutique in several reviews, and I think this is the right word for it. If you come in expecting an all-inclusive resort, you're likely to be disappointed. If you're looking for a quiet hotel with great views, beach access, and plenty of aloha, then you should consider the Kaimana Beach Hotel for your stay.

This restaurant is located with the hotel. It has great view of the beach. Food is good.

Jamie W. and I stayed at not one but two hotels on our recent holiday in Honolulu. The first was on the 30th floor of the nicely appointed Prince Waikiki close to Ala Moana (review: https://bit.ly/3LxxAfn). We stayed four nights there because the fourth night was free, Then we came here beyond the other side of Waikiki for the remaining three nights to save some money. You can tell where this story is going. We reserved a room with a Diamond Head View, and for $279 per night (vs. $400 at the Prince Waikiki), it was a much smaller room with a Queen bed (photo: https://bit.ly/3lj7qlN) and a very small bathroom. Indeed it had the view though not as dramatic as I was hoping since we were just on the 8th floor (photo: https://bit.ly/3mRy0CK). However, the feeling of claustrophobia was not just limited to the room. The hotel lobby and bar area also felt crowded and quite dated. It was built in 1963, and it definitely had that retro-vintage feel in the furnishings and the wall art. Normally I would enjoy such quaint surroundings, but somehow the combination of old-fashioned and relaxing wasn't quite working. The front desk staff were not particularly full of aloha as they were selective who they welcomed. Apparently we didn't make the cut. The one true upside was direct access to the beach, and just being away from the crowds on Waikiki was a blessing (photo: https://bit.ly/3JqsE98). That holds true for the hotel's slightly remote location which definitely added to our step count. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

This fine boutique hotel is first rate for accommodations, activities, food, drink and live entertainment. I spent a week in heaven. Many thanks Kaimana Beach Hotel. Aloha

They have a pretty cute lil restaurant on the beach. we got some drinks there it was lovely. Cute little boutique hotel right on the beach. The vibe was really nice

Ocean front room was worth it

We just came back from amazing 5 day trip,used Costco Travel to book it.At that time they had the best rates.We opted to upgrade to ocean from room,wise choice!Our daughter and her friend had the City View room it was very small but nice and clean.The little balcony offered a peekaboo of the ocean,you have to walk outside and look for it.They didn't even know it was there until I pointed it out . We love the bar and enjoyed our cocktails (I recommend the espresso martini).We also made reservations for Hau Tree reservation,food and view was excellent! I think some of the bad reviews are for some of other rooms that perhaps look over parking lot. This location was PERFECT for us.A 15-20 minute walk to center of Waikiki and decided to walk to our hike at Diamond Head,it was 2.4 miles.We felt it was worth it to avoid the crazy traffic getting into the park. I was worried my daughter and friend (both 21)would think their city room was too small and location not central enough for them but they loved it and are dying to come back!They Uber'ed or walked everywhere.They stayed at Beachcomber Hotel last visit,had a great time but thought beach in Waikiki was crazy busy.They felt pampered having the Kaimana Beach steps away from our hotel and loved swimming next to the friends friendly seal who hangs out there. Just a warning about Costco Travel-their website claims it offers a $100 food/beverage credit however when I asked hotel clerk they said it was not part of our package.I'm in process doing a chargeback of $100 with my credit card. We look forward to coming back next year(but not with Costco lol)can't wait!

My second stay here! The first time was when it was still The New Otani. It has now been renovated and has new owners. My stay was fantastic just like the first. The only difference this time is the place has a new vibe and updated new decor. Everything else is the same which is good! Staff is very friendly. Rooms are clean and modern. This hotel area is also very safe & quiet. If you prefer to be in a more busier area then this isn't it. I walked every evening to the busier Waikiki area and it only takes about 15 minutes. Some helpful pointers: 1. Valet is $40/night. Save your $ and park next door at the beach area. It's very easy to find a spot early morning or towards the evening. If you decide to park across at the meters then it's free after like 6pm. I had no issues finding parking during my stay. 2. There are Electra bikes for you to use! First come first serve. They're a little old but they work. 3. Beach access is the main reason why this hotel is great. The beach is at the end of Waikiki. It's a lot quieter and cleaner!

*** PARKING INFORMATION *** My stay was (9/9/23-9/16/23) I'm not going to get into all the positive and negative about this hotel. You can check out other reviews about that. But I will give you information about parking. No other post had said anything so I will fill in the blanks. The hotel does NOT have free parking at all. Hotel related: only Valet for $40 a day. That's the only option. But I learned how to park around here with my rental. If you park on Kalākaua Ave, which is the street that the hotel is on, you can park on that street. There are two side of the street to park on. On the hotel side are hourly parking (free). On the park side of the street are meters. The meters are the old school style coined operated. There are NO app or credit card options, that may change in the future but as of this post it's still coins. The meters run from 10am-6pm everyday but free on Sunday. Parking at the meters has a 4hr max limit, so expect to move your car if you are not going out. Don't miss paying because the metermaids do patrol and do give out tickets. The current rate is ¢25 for every 30 minutes. If you need coins, the hotel does provide change. Just ask the front desk to break some dollars for you. Don't worry about parking availability, there is always parking. And more so after 6pm (everyone at the beaches start to leave). Also on the hotel side of the street there are no meters but do have a 2hr limit parking. If you are lucky, just to the left of the hotel, in front of the Lotus hotel, are two all day parking spots with no limit or cost. The sign that should be there has been long since missing. But always check. Everything is subject to change, signage and cost. So make sure that all the signs are good. I live in San Francisco where parking and ticketing for parking is notorious. The policy for parking is that you are responsible for up to 150 feet of signs in both directions. Now, I don't know what the policies and rules here in Waikiki are, but that's how I viewed it and didn't get a ticket when I parked in the lucky spot. Hope this helps. Side note of why my 3 stars: -Small bed -Didn't like the bathroom door that was more like a window blinds. So yea... my lady heard my farts and smelled my number 2s. There was no vent in the bathroom. After the first time, I started using the lobby bathroom all week. -Couldn't get reservations for my own hotel's restaurant. It was booked out for 3 weeks after my stay. But when you can get the food it's really good just expensive. But whatever you're in Hawaii. GET the "crab tagliatelle"!!!!! THAT WAS FIRE!!!! My lady got the squid ink campanelle, it was good. -the air conditioner needs to be cleaned. -and of course the parking.

Yesterday, the wife and I went on our first staycation in well over a year. Unfortunately, it was only a 1-nighter... we would've stayed longer but the wife couldn't get off of work for more than a day. The wife requested that we stay at Kaimana Beach Hotel for the view and to see how everything looked after their last renovation. I don't know what to say. It just wasn't anything special. We got an ocean view room that was priced at a little over $400 a night. With the numerous taxes and valet parking (the only option) it was close to $500 for a single night. The staff were friendly and efficient and there were no complaints there. But the facilities and rooms just seemed so rundown. Stains on the bedding, stains on the walls, stains/dirt everywhere. There were several flying pests that visited us throughout the night. The mini fridge had standing water on the bottom shelf.... presumably from ice melting in the internal freezer. The ice bucket had a tiny hair in it. And the room had the bare minimum amenities-- no bottled water, NO CUPS, and tiny bottles of toiletry articles. The room had a decent view and we were happy to try something new. But we likely wouldn't come back here again.

This is equivalent to a motel. The website is deceiving and the rooms are terrible. The bed literally sinks once you lay on it. This is also not close to the Waikiki strip so expect to walk through the dark and sketchy park back to the hotel. Don't waste your money here.

Halepuna Hotel This…read moreis a review of my experience staying at the Halepuna Hotel, located in Waikiki. I booked my stay via Costco Travel recommendations. WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering. The tub was also spacious, if you wanted to take a bubble bath. 8TH FLOOR GYM-Equipped with a lot of machines Water dispenser Additional restrooms/shower room LAUNDRY ROOM is open 24/7 There are 3 washers and 4 dryers You can pay using your credit card or download the WASH CONNECT app *Friendly suggestions: -As a guest, bring your own laundry soap/dryer sheets--or go to the ABC Store if you forget your laundry supplies -Make sure to clean the lint trap before you put your clothes in -Put a timer on your phone to check on your clothes GARDEN -Serene, tranquil, peaceful, spacious -------- Friendly Suggestions for Halepuna Hotel -Have a big sign stationed outside the hotel, perhaps elevate the height of the sign and add lights to it, so it's easy to spot for first time visitors ------- All in all I enjoyed staying at the Halepuna Hotel. The services and amenities provided were excellent. I can't wait to visit again soon! Mahalo Halepuna Hotel!

We dined in at a nearby restaurant, then walked around seeking Kona coffee. Our suite was ready around 3 PM. The suite was very spacious and I am mostly impressed with the cleanliness.

Although, I am disappointed that the adult pool closes at 6 PM, which all the other pools close at 9 PM. There is a private beach area, which my kids enjoyed. Beach chairs are $26 each, which are quite expensive. I appreciate the $65 per night dinning credit, which we utilized at the on site market for snacks and water. We enjoyed the brief firework show from our balcony suite. We attended the on site Huli Huli event, which was quite disappointing.

However, on my most recent trip, I decided to try the Hyatt Regency, thinking the lounge access and more resort-style atmosphere might be a better fit for my elderly parents. We booked three rooms for our family, and I can confidently say that this stay completely changed my perspective and that is largely thanks to Grace at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, Grace went above and beyond to make sure our check-in experience was seamless and welcoming. Traveling with elderly parents can sometimes be challenging, but she handled everything with such patience, warmth, and genuine care. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, thoughtfully ensuring that our rooms were convenient and comfortable for everyone in our group. What truly stood out was her ability to make us feel valued not just as guests, but as people. Her professionalism was matched by her kindness, and it was clear she takes great pride in creating a positive experience for those she helps. She anticipated needs we hadn't even expressed and handled every detail with ease and grace. Because of her exceptional service, what was meant to be a one time stay at the Hyatt Regency has completely changed my preference moving forward. Grace's hospitality exceeded all expectations and made our trip that much more memorable. It's rare to encounter someone who leaves such a lasting impression, but Grace absolutely did. She is a true asset to the Hyatt Regency, and I sincerely hope she receives the recognition she deserves. I will definitely be returning and recommending this property to others because of her.

During that time, the property experienced a loss of power and water, and the elevators were not working, which made things quite challenging. That said, once the weather cleared, we were able to appreciate what the hotel had to offer. We had booked two adjoining oceanfront rooms, and the view was beautiful when the skies opened up. Waking up to the ocean right outside our window made it all worthwhile. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the front desk, maintenance team, and all the staff members we interacted with were all very friendly and really helpful despite the difficult circumstances. Their positive attitude made a big difference in our stay. The location is def a huge plus, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, making it super convenient. The pool is a bit small and tends to get crowded, but it was heated, which was nice, and we really enjoyed the SWIM bar and restaurant. The food and drinks there were surprisingly good but they have a new menu so I was disappointed I didn't get to try some of the items I saw on the Yelp reviews . Overall, the service, location, and beautiful oceanfront views made our stay very enjoyable.

If a large or resort-style pool is a priority, this may not be the best choice, and you may want to look elsewhere. What I truly love about this place is the "calm."

Aloha Yelpstars, I'm a little confused by some of the Sheraton Waikiki ratings…read more Let's get into this... For my wife's bday celebration she chose to return to the Sheraton Waikiki. She last visited 5 years ago with some girlfriends and always spoke highly of the property and hotel. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon for our 9 day stay. Immediately I noticed that every employee I contacted went above and beyond to greet me and make sure if I needed help they would handle my situation. Staff here from valet, pool staff, housekeeping, bell desk, hotel check in, and even landscaping are well trained and operating on a higher than 90% of hotels out there. This level of service continued from our first to last day folks. Wendy our housekeeper was awesome and remember to tip appropriately! I want to talk about a common complaint I see in the reviews. Cost. I hate to slap you in the face with this but prices aren't what they used to be. Yes, this is a very expensive property. For us, it was worth the splurge that maybe will only be done every 5 years, but there's a reason for the high price. This hotel is roughly 2,500 miles away from the continental US and in my opinion one of the best ocean front properties in the world and you have to pay for that. If you are going to complain about cost then please stay home. Everything on an island that isn't naturally there has to be shipped there. So cost is obviously higher. I was last in Waikiki in 1995 as a child. I remember it then and seeing it again now was amazing. The food, city, and the ability to rent a car and leave the city in a flash is something unique in this paradise. The Sheraton adults only pool and the views that the ocean side hotel rooms provide are unparalleled. The kids pool is also above and beyond for the under 16-year-old age group. God speed Sheraton Waikīkī, I will return.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while many aspects were excellent--like the fantastic service,…read moredelicious food at the restaurant, and a beautiful pool area .( 5 star ) No water at the room and store is not open 24 hour , if you come back hotel late night you have to go to the room take a bottle and come back outside fill the bottle. we had a very disappointing experience with the restaurant staff. They refused to serve us food at the pool, saying it was "dinner time" even though it was just 5 p.m. When we went inside and asked to be seated at the restaurant- they refused again, saying we didn't meet the dress code--even though it was still early evening. This was the only restaurant/dining option at the hotel, I have to take a shower change and and then I can eat something at the hotel .. where I The worst part was the extremely rude behavior from both the restaurant manager, Cassidy and another staff member, John. I told then if I change I can go outside of the hotel with lots of options and the guy (John say 2 time back to back we don't need you to come back hear , Both had an incredibly rude tone and displayed a lack of respect that should never be seen in customer service, especially from managers. After this, we left, and we couldn't enjoy the beach or pool for the rest of the day. Essentially, our entire day was ruined. A hotel should offer at least one casual dining option for guests, or they can have a section at same restaurant at least till same time as pool are open this was a huge disappointment. (0 star ) Hotel guests should be allowed to have food and beverages at anytime.
