    Ocean View from the room
    Ness S.

    This is a beautiful hotel. We stayed here for three nights. It is a little bit north west of the Waikiki Beach, but in the general area, I feel it's a little bit quieter than the area near the Hyatt. The views were beautiful and the beach nearby (a few minutes walk north west) is gorgeous. The room was well appointed but small and did not have a balcony, but did have very nice views. The staff was friendly and generally efficient. I will probably stay here again.

    My group stayed here for one night during our friend's bachelorette party and wow, Prince Waikiki sets a high bar. The room we had was spacious with a great view of the marina. The room was clean, the bathroom was nice, and we had a great time staying here. I also appreciate them having water refill stations throughout the lobby. The staff was friendly from bringing our luggage to our room, to taking and bringing our car to us, and exchanging friendly conversations. We're grateful for the wonderful experience and would recommend Prince Waikiki for anyone considering the area.

    Full discloser that I was not an overnight staying guest at Prince Waikiki. It was Valentine's Day weekend as I was attending a wedding party. Wedding Ceremony was in the Lani Le'a Chapel there after the Wedding Reception held in the Piinaio Ballroom. Very beautiful event that could seat possibly over 200 guests in attendance. Very clean restroom facilities were just outside of the ballroom, parking was either valet or self park in the hotel that's easy and convenient. Also if you're an out of town guest, Ala Moana Center is just walking distance from the hotel and more shopping in Waikiki in the opposite direction. Banquet staff was exceptional, food and beverage service great, ballroom atmosphere was elegant. If it was a lunch affair, it could be smart casual attire. If I was a visitor to Honolulu, I'd consider booking hotel accommodation here at Prince Waikiki.

    It's the hotel stay that I didn't know I needed. I originally wanted to be closer to Waikiki beach but after spending our holiday here, I'm so thankful that we booked at this property. Pristine grounds. I felt at ease the moment we stepped out of our rental car. Check in was painless. They do have to take all guests info including kids names. A total of 34 floors. Sushi restaurant on first floor, 100 Sails Restaurant on the 3rd, and the pool/lounge, gym on the 5th floor. Do not choose a room near the elevators on the 5th floor. We got the 30th floor and it was so quiet with the most beautiful view of the ocean. Fireworks Friday was a nice view from our room as well. The separate tub from shower was nice to have when you have kids. We loved the bidet bathroom with the heated seat. Ahhhh. We absolutely loved the pool area. The infinity pool was relaxing. The kids enjoyed the main pool with the deepest depth at just under 4ft. We frequented the jacuzzi every day. The servers are so nice. To get to Waikiki we opted for the day pass on the Waikiki Trolley pink line for $6. Ala Moana mall is walking distance. I absolutely cannot wait to be back!

    Overall, it was a pleasant stay, though the property is clearly on the older side. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and housekeeping was generally good, though not especially detail-oriented. I tend to notice the small things, and I did spot hairs on the robe from a previous guest as well as a few stray hairs along the bathroom baseboards. :( We stayed in a corner suite, and while the sun shades didn't seem to function perfectly, it wasn't enough of an issue for me to raise a concern--just another reminder that this is an older property. Unfortunately, the bed was a major downside. It was quite lumpy and soft, which made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. I'm someone who really needs a firm mattress, and in this case, the bedding felt overdue for an update. For a hotel stay, sleep comfort is important, and this is an area that could use attention. I also didn't enjoy the scent of the provided lotions, soaps, shampoo, and conditioner. The fragrance was strong enough that we ended up purchasing our own products at a local drugstore. That said, I truly appreciated that housekeeping provided fresh towels daily without us needing to ask or leave them on the floor. I understand and respect sustainability efforts, but guest cleanliness is important, and this thoughtful touch didn't go unnoticed. Lastly, when we mentioned it was our son's birthday, the front desk concierge arranged a lovely birthday surprise for him, which was very much appreciated.

    Check-in line on Friday, July 4, 2025 @ 3:00 pm

    This is a review based on July 4, 2025 holiday weekend. Check-in at 3:00 pm We reserved three sleeping rooms but only one was ready. Front desk long line and a staff were pleasant but needed more for busy holiday weekend which fell on a Friday - a work holiday for many. When rooms were ready, our electronic key didn't work for one. No phone in hallway so returned to front desk and she escorted us back to room to make sure key cards worked. We like bathroom layout- toilet separate room with glass door and Totoro seats. Shower with on-wall shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. Bathtubs deep with slanted back rest. Complimentary shave kit, dental kit, facial masks and lotion. Our club rooms also had comp house slippers. In Lanai Suite we planned to host dinner for our children and order room service prior to fireworks. Press room service button on phone and let it ring ring ring no one picked up. Tried two more times. Still no one. Tried to call Front Desk - no one picks up. Then tried concierge - no one. Had to call outside line from my cell and person said they'd have room service call me. Evidently they have new phone system and the Lanai Suite phone not hooked up properly to the departments so no callerID showed. Why wouldn't they pick up a persistently ringing phone though? Okay, so we put in our order and that was good. She was very sweet- had her repeat back order since it was for 7 adults and 3 kids, she had it correct but when order came -missing 3 milks for kids. On to the reserved poolside cabanas. Booked two online and received email confirmation but no info where to check in, what time, location of cabanas. When we checked in I asked these questions to front desk and he said you check in at the pool. No one at the pool Saturday morning at 8:00 am. No signage in the cabanas with any helpful info. Called hotel operator from my cell (remember my hotel phone wasn't connecting) the girl said it should say on my confirmation. Yes but it didn't. Then I asked to connect me to pool and she was snippy -there's no one there yet. Okay so when will someone be there? Umm at 11:00. So basically the hotel charges you for a full day to reserve cabana but you cannot access until almost half the day is gone. At 11:00 we checked in by the bar and got our two cabanas with Terrie who was also our server and a hardworking girl. She and two others were kept running for drink and food orders from the time the bar opened at 11:00 till 7:45 pm. There are bathrooms on pool level behind the bar. It's a very narrow hallway to access so not sure if wheelchairs will fit. The deejay at lunch time had the volume on extra loud which did not allow guests to hear each other seated nearby and was unpleasant. The pool servers were superb which is why they get a Star! Terrie and two others kept checking to make sure we had what we needed on a regular basis. The second star goes to the Premium Club Lounge staff. This lounge is located on 5th floor next to pool. Professional and friendly staff make sure food and other items stocked, tables cleared and cleaned. Miki helped us the first day when our suite wasn't ready - she made us our keys right there when it was available so we didn't have to take elevator back down to lobby. All meals are buffet style and also provide snacks, beer/wine on tap, coffee/tea, juices, dessert and really a nice array. Check out - Lost a Star due to conflicting communications. Check-out is actually 11:00 and not 12:00 pm. Although the info we received at check-in said 12:00 noon. Some hotels slide a notice under your door the day before to remind you of check-out time and options. We didn't receive a notice but later a confirm email said 11:00 (which we didn't see until later since we don't check our emails on staycations), so thank goodness all our bags packed and ready to go before we went to breakfast because they lock you out at 11:00. Yes- locked out with no grace period. The way we found out was when hubby wanted to grab lunch in club lounge before we checked out. See pic attached stating checkout is 12:00 noon. His key wouldn't open the club door. Had to go to front desk at 11:07 am to have them reinstate keys. Natsuki did a great job being very gracious as she did this. She also contacted bell and valet to assist. Third and final star goes to the valet and bell staff. These people make a great first impression because they're very helpful and accommodating. No matter how busy they are, this is a constant attitude from them all and upon checking out we were lucky to have JT help us with his kind and humorous demeanor. In closing, be aware that this hotel may not be properly staffed for busy holidays. Be prepared to wait to check in, for your rooms, and almost half a day for your cabana. This past weekend the pool lounge chairs were full by 9:30 a.m. and there was also a concert in back area of pool which added to crowds.

    I stayed here 3-3-26 for 3 nights. I booked through booking.com The checkin process was smooth. My 2 queen bed room was located on the 14th floor which had a great view of the harbor. Every room at this hotel has a great view of the ocean. Note: your room comes with a mini fridge but no microwave. I like that the toilet has a bidet and separate shower & tub. I wasn't a fan of the fragrant shower gel and hand soap that was provided though. The fragrant smell was too strong. I like that the room came with 2 free refillable water bottles as this hotel does have water stations. I enjoyed the pool area and was able to always find a lounge chair to relax. This hotel is about a 10 min walk to the Ala Moana shopping mall which was convenient. It's about a 30 min walk to International Market Place. Or you can take the $6.00 Trolly I would definitely stay here again as the next hotel I stayed after this one was not at all what I expected.

    The Prince Waikiki has been my favorite place to staycation in Waikiki for 20+ years. The service, staff, and accommodations have always been A+++ each and every time I've stayed here. This past weekend we celebrated our first year anniversary with an overnight stay in the Lanai Suite. We enjoyed dinner at 100 sails and had an excellent view of the Friday night fireworks. The room was fabulous and the staff left us a celebratory glass of wine and card as an acknowledgement of our anniversary, which was unexpected and made our night even more special! The following morning a parade was scheduled to block roads going through Waikiki til noon, and wanting to avoid the mess of traffic, I inquired about a late check out and the front desk staff was graciously accommodating. Kamaaina discounts are great here. The only knock I can give is that parking can be really expensive, but sometimes the kamaaina rate can discount that cost. Valet parking is really convenient tho and the staff are fantastic.

    This hotel used to be one of my favorites, but it feels like it has downgraded over time. We booked a king-size room with the Kamaʻāina discount, and while the room was decent, we expected to be on a higher floor since we paid for the king option. Instead, we were placed on the 6th floor, and when you open the window, you can see people walking right in front of the building--not exactly the view we hoped for. On top of that, one of the outlets in the room literally came off the wall when we unplugged a cord, which didn't feel very safe. The staff was okay but not particularly warm or welcoming, which was a bit disappointing. It used to feel friendlier here in the past. Another change that stood out was the parking situation--locals used to get free parking, but that's no longer offered, which makes the stay less convenient and definitely less of a value compared to before. On the positive side, checking out was smooth and simple. We were able to just call downstairs to check out, no need to go to the front desk, which made leaving hassle-free. Overall, the experience was average--nothing terrible, but it no longer feels like the hotel I once loved, and that's why I'm leaving a 3-star rating.

    Staycation at the Prince Waikiki hotel for this past Valentine's weekend. We got a room in the club premiere oceanfront room type. We enjoyed all the great perks that comes with staying in club premier! There is the club lounge access nearby the pool that they offer complimentary unlimited all day light bites and snacks that changes throughout different hours, wine and beer on tap and its own club concierge. The room also offers complimentary breakfast buffet at 100 sails! There are 33 floors and we were on the 31st. We had a nice view of the ocean. The room comes with a mini fridge and refillable water bottles but ice/water machines are on certain floors. There is a bath tub, stand shower and bidet. Clean and comfortable room on the smaller side but perfect for the two of us with a king size bed. We had a complimentary sparking wine and letter sent to our room for spending our anniversary. It was a nice touch! The infinity pool over looks the harbor and there is a bigger pool with jacuzzi as well. The bar workers are attentive and come around if you'd want to order any food or drinks. Fitness center on the same floor. Clean and good machines to work out. Even their resort charge it includes complimentary yoga, access to the Honolulu Museum of Art, Bishop Museum and more. Overall was a great staycation and enjoyed ourselves!

    Beautiful view from our 1 bedroom suite.

    I recently stayed at Prince Waikiki for two weeks in a one bedroom ocean front suite, and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, it was clear the team is committed to providing exceptional service and creating a welcoming, memorable stay. Every interaction I had with the staff was warm, attentive, and professional--they truly go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and taken care of. What really stood out to me was how seamless everything felt. Whether it was check-in, dining, or just moving throughout the property, everything was smooth and well-coordinated. It's obvious there's strong leadership and a culture of excellence behind the scenes. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Prince Waikiki to anyone visiting O'ahu. I'm already looking forward to my next stay!

    The Prince Waikiki is a nice hotel that's conveniently located with great views of the marina. The Infiniti pool is small but nice, and the restaurants are very good. Our room was also clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Knew we had to come back after our great experience during our wedding. Staff is still nice and friendly. Got an Oceanfront Harbor King room. Still a great view of the harbor and with the discounted rate I got off the site, it was a really good deal compared to similar hotels on Waikiki. Decided to park in the garage this time which made things a lot easier to get in and out of the hotel. The 5th floor pool was very nice and clean, with a great view of the ocean in the infinity pool. Anytime I come back to Waikiki, it's almost guaranteed that I'll stay at the prince.

    See all

    How much is parking at the hotel? I have read the self parking is complimentary and another said it is $30 daily.

    Mahalo for the great and understanding customer service…read more Just a couple of sleep deprived parents trying to plan a break when my husband booked the wrong dates, for the wrong length of time. It was outside the 24 hour cancellation window but their concierge was so understanding Thank you

    Embassy suites Waikiki 2123…read more Bed - nice and comfy. Little movement from partner. Mattress was a Serta Perfect Sleeper Plush mattress. Hotel offers different types of pillows in the room and spare blanket in armoire. Also in the armoire is hangers, an ironing board and steaming iron, which came in handy for those wrinkled linen shirts mashed in my suitcase. The Bathroom. - one sink with a little counter top space but sufficient. The toilet was also bidet in the master bath. The shower pressure on 21st is ok but low, but it did the job. The Ac in room was awesome! It gets super cold, if you need it, quickly. It was nice for those hot humid days of walking in Waikiki. It had an In-room mini fridge and bar sink with 4 real drinking glasses, which I like. Hated there was no freezer in the mini fridge But the bell hop station offers to freeze ice packs, or whatever you need, for you. We had 3 sliding doors with west views and moderate views of Waikiki beach. The Second bedroom has own bath with also a single sink, toilet and shower- No bidet. The room/bedding/bathrooms were clean with no mold in the showers. The furniture showed a little wear but nothing excessive. The Elevators were fast! The pool, mangers reception and breakfast are all on the 4th Floor (terrace level). Breakfast was typical of Embassy Suites, I like the made to order omelette which makes it much better. Lots of fresh fruit and even some miso soup and other Japanese/Hawaiian offerings. The Staff was awesome and super friendly. I Used valet every day. Great service, fast and practical IMO but hard to swallow the daily fee. The hotel was attacked to the Waikiki beach walk. Island vintage coffee was a regular stop for coffee and sometimes breakfast. Order coffee or food to go online after 8am to save a ton of time standing in line. Hotel was Very close to all ththe shops. Awesome location. Much better location than Hilton Hawaiian village location!!! Our fav restaurant close by the hotel was Kana Pilla and Monkey Pod, which were across the street. Make sure to make Open Table reservations for both way ahead of time. I did mine 2 months out. Housekeeping willing to clean and supply new towels daily however linens are not cleaned but every 5 day, unless you request it, which they are happy to do! Views from 21st floor were awesome and all 21st floor rooms had extensive balconies. 3 sliding doors. Keep in mind Ac doesn't work, yes the fan blows, when the doors are open!! It's too humid at night to sleep with them open so we had them open for select times, mostly am. There's a Washer/dryer laundry room on site, 3rd floor only. It was Very convenient especially packing 4 days of clothes for a 10 day trip so our suitcases weren't stuffed . Use laundry room on sundays/mon or late evenings when people are too busy arriving and leaving. $5.25 to each wash load and I think $4.75 to dry. Washers only wash with cold which I like. Perm press on dryer seemed to dry all our shirts and socks well. We hung our nice Aloha shirts on the hangers in the room and they dried within a day. Washer and dryers take credit cards. Yes they're is a soap machine that also takes credit cards. I didn't use and just bought soap from ABC. ABC stores are EVERYWHERE so don't lug around suntan lotion or waters in your suitcase. Just buY at ABC which is only 20 steps away. FYI ABC doesn't no GIVE out bags for items unless you spend over a certain amount. ANC bags cost like .50 cents. ABC has Awesome poke and alcohol (spirit and beer) choices. Yes single purchase tall beers too. Don't forget the free brief fireworks show in front of the Hilton Hawaii Village on Friday nights only. We saw them set off at 7:45p by the lagoon. It's amazing how many people attend so be prepared for the crowds to and from. Big tip: make open table reservations for all your restaurants months ahead! All places are super busy until about 8:45 pm on most nights. Hope I helped.

The Banyan Wing is the original Victorian-era building which is listed on National Historic Registry and houses the main lobby and restaurant. The number of guests and visitor who circulate through this property daily is incredible. Including the Tower and Surfrider Wings, it has 791 rooms. Our Tower room had a great covered patio with incredible views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. We spent a lot of time on the patio watching the surfers, catamarans, and enjoying the island breeze. Our balcony was spectacular :o Our room was updated and very comfortable. I understand the owners completed a full renovation of all rooms in 2026. The beach bar is one of the best in the world. Cold cocktails, beer and wine. Good service. Great views! The drawbacks.... The pool is small and very crowded, especially for 791 rooms. With that said everyone in the pool was smiling and having fun. The beach is also pretty small for such a massive hotel. At high tide the hotel only has about 30 feet of beachfront and it is a public beach so it is crowded Rio style. For us this was not a drawback as we love Waikiki, the birthplace of Hawaiian surfing, and spend most of our time in the surf. Hawaii and Waikiki is one of the few places that completely lives us to the hype year after year and generation after generation. We can't wait to return. Aloha & Mahalo

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!

Once my room became available I dropped off my luggage and then went directly to the beach. When I returned I did notice some areas of concern where the room was not very well cleaned. Instead of calling housekeeping I went directly downstairs to the front desk. Front desk personnel were busy as there were only 2 people assisting the long line of quests. I decided I'll just deal with the room uncleanliness later. Please be advised that I did take pictures. Once I checked out on Sunday, March 8th, I advised the front desk personnel my concerns. The manager Ira listened to my concerns as I showed her my pictures. She immediately apologized and ask that I email the pictures to their corporate office. Which I did once I arrived back to the mainland. In the room there's a finger or toenail clipping on the carpet between the console and couch. Also you can also see that portion of the carpet has not been vacuumed. The clothed bench in front of bed was extremely stained and filthy. So filthy that I covered the bench with a bath towel if I needed to sit down. Also the refrigerator was very dirty. I chose not to put any food items in the fridge because of this. Also the bottom of the toilet is stained with either fecal matter, urine or maybe it's rust. If so, clean it then use caulking. These are the concerns I have with room 403. Hopefully I'll be hearing from upper management in regards to my unpleasant stay in room 403. The best part of staying at this hotel was the show Auana which is located at this hotel. Needless to say I will not stay at this hotel again.

I love that it is in the heart of Waikiki, very walkable to shopping and nightlife should you want to leave the grounds of the resort. The nightly local music with hula under the sky is magical. Reservations for dinner, or grab a first come first serve cocktail table at 5 to watch the sunset! There is also nightly jazz in the bar. La Mer is a one of a kind French experience and Orchids is fantastic for any meal of the day. Just outside the hotel is a delightful oceanfront park where the hotel hosted yoga each day. A highlight for me. Great poolside service. The beach is small, so if you are looking to lounge on the beach, that's not really much of an option. This hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you know it has the highest standards. That brand has never steered me wrong. And the fact that it is not under a massive hotel chain umbrella means it can maintain its authentic individuality. Pro tip: if you have a late flight, there is a lounge where you can relax and prepare for your departure, as check out is 11am.

The restroom is in the restaurant area. I never once left the restaurant throughout the entire evening. I was simply on my way to pick up my drink from the seating area and then head to the bar to pay. He told me I was "going the wrong way" when the way I was going would have led to me to the bar... The way this team handles tabs in this bar is abysmal. Right when I sat down, I was attempting to give my bartender my credit card to start a tab. They refused to accept my card and said don't worry about it, and that they'll take it after I'm done. I explicitly told the bartender that I was going over to the lawn right next to the bar (still in the restaurant area) to get a better view of the musical performance, drink in hand. They said go ahead. Nobody should be treated like this

We also used our American Express Platinum Hotel Credit benefit, and it was great that this hotel qualified for it. Ka Laʻi is one block from the beach, backing up to Fort DeRussy Park, a military reservation, and is surrounded by many shops and restaurants, especially along Luxury Row, which is a non-negotiable visit for us. There is so much aloha felt here, with the staff always greeting us with genuine smiles and a willingness to help. The hotel is quiet and soothing, perfect for a relaxing stay. We checked in seamlessly and were provided with cold, refreshing water upon our arrival. Our room was spacious and felt very cozy, with beige carpet and tile flooring, brown furniture, and dark cabinetry in the kitchen. In the seating area, there was a large full-size sofa, an upholstered side chair, and a coffee table. The long dresser and closet provided plenty of storage. A lovely welcome treat was left in our room: two Ka Laʻi reusable water bottles, Hawaiian semi-sweet chocolate, and Beach Brittle. These items were a very nice touch. If you feel inclined to enjoy more Beach Brittle, you can purchase it downstairs in the small shop next to the spa. The bathroom had a double-sink vanity with plenty of counter space, which is a must for me, a large soaking tub, and a wet shower area. It was a generously sized bathroom with plenty of room to move around. Our stay included a wonderful breakfast buffet at Inyō. There was an omelet station with a chef preparing made-to-order omelets, along with a variety of beautiful fresh fruit, hot and cold breakfast items, rice, and Asian-inspired bites. The infinity pool is located near the restaurant, Inyō. It's tiled in a beautiful blue that adds a nice contrast to the tan backdrop of the neighboring high-rise buildings. The pool is long and narrow, accented by a series of raised, tiled planter islands that provide a bit of privacy between guests. We were too busy to swim or enjoy the other amenities, but just walking around the grounds was incredibly relaxing. It's a very peaceful place to stay, unlike many of the larger hotel brands. The standout at this hotel was definitely the service. The staff always made eye contact, greeted us warmly, and either asked about or anticipated our needs. This is a hotel that is definitely worth returning to.

That came in clutch as the beach showers were out of service. The valet people were so kind and got to know their patrons immediately. There were also so many people on stand by for your every beck and call. I especially loved the cafe located on the 7th floor on the way to the pool that had a full espresso machine for your needs. Those ladies that worked there were the best!! They were always ready for my redundant questions. The pool was spectacular. We went swimming during the sunset and it was just the coolest spot. There were plenty of kids swimming when we were there, so we felt at home having a small child as well. The pool has sunscreen ready, cold water, and towels for your pool session. Even though it didn't have bells and whistles, my daughter still enjoyed the child friendly ledges. We got the one bedroom suite with the kitchen and living room. We had two balconies with a partial view and they were both gorgeous. It got a little loud at moments due to the proximity of the downtown Waikiki energy, people playing music loudly on scooters and ambulances, but it never woke us up or annoyed us. I felt spoiled here. I properly pampered and I am excited to have an opportunity to stay again. Kid approved, mommy approved.

    This is my 2nd time staying in Waikiki. We wanted a beach front hotel so we decided on Outrigger…read moreReef for a full week. To start off, I'd give the resort a solid 4/5, no more, no less. The location? It's great because it is literally beach front; however, it is on the southern most edge part of that beach area. This means that the beach right outside is jam packed with tourists coming and going and you would have to walk a decent ways up the beach to find a spot. Regardless, a beach front is a beach front so it's nice to get down there quick and enjoy the beach. The hotel is in a great spot in Waikiki because there are tons and tons of shopping stores and food areas within a 15 minute walk so you never really have to drive out. Monkey Pod restaurant down below has great reviews and is delicious, but I personally think their menu is quite small. They also have a pool side bar/cafe that serves drinks, snacks, and meals and is a secondary pool-side restaurant. They play music down there every night. It's very calm, quaint, and peaceful to enjoy a night in the hotel. Unfortunately, the prices of their drinks are ridiculously overpriced. $17 for a Mai Thai not including tip. Insane. The room? I would say pretty average for any decent hotel. It was clean, the bed was good, the pillows were nice and big. The balcony is small, but can sit two people to enjoy the outside. The down side is the rooms of the two towers of the hotel face each other. So you don't get a beach front view unless you pay the big extra for those rooms. My biggest gripe about the room was the shower. The whole 7 days the water would change from warm, hot, very hot, rinse and repeat every few seconds. The price? Very expensive, but that's the price you pay for a beach front hotel PLUS it being on Waikiki beach. There's probably not big deals/sales unless you buy it through Costco Travel which is what I did which saves you probably a couple hundred at the very least. Valet is automatically included which is another 60 per night (not including whatever few bucks you tip them whenever you go out) so this would easily rack up your bill. I'd say the closest free parking is at least a 20 minute walk one way. Despite my rating the hotel a 4/5, would I recommend this spot? It depends. If you are a newcomer to Oahu and want to experience the casual, tourist experience of Oahu, want that beach front hotel, and have the cash, I would recommend this. If you are not a newcomer, there are many other hotels that will suit many other tastes. And honestly, staying at any other hotel outside of Waikiki is probably best if you want to really save on money and see better beaches.
