    It's my go to hotel on Oahu. The staff is also very welcoming and super duper helpful. And the price is right. Shout out to Sho and Shawn the dynamic duo

    A non-vacation thing brought us to the Renaissance Honolulu, which is part of Marriott . I had no idea they existed but it seems they're fairly new, possibly opened in 2024. LOCATION: Located directly behind Ala Moana Center, it consists of two towers, one a hotel and the other a residences (Sky Ala Moana). I loved how close it is to Walmart, Don Quijote, tons of restaurants and Ala Moana Center. PARKING: Valet only, $59/day. RIDE SHARE: Pick up and drop off is at the main entrances. SHUTTLE: The hotel provides a comp shuttle service to Ala Moana Center, Magic Island and the Waikiki Banyan tree every 2 hours. CHECK IN: Chad was great. Very friendly and welcoming. He went over everything and walked us over to the elevators to give us a quick lesson on its digital operation. LOBBY: Modern design that features the Sera restaurant & Paris Baguette bakery, front and concierge desks. ROOM: 3706 is near the top. Views of the city and Ala Wai Boat Harbor are good. There is no balcony but the sliding door does open fully and features a safety window at the bottom half. The room has two comfy queen beds & pillows, blackout curtains, ambient lighting, strong & quiet a/c, smart TV, clothes steamer, stacked washer & dryer, a kitchenette with sink, mini stove and hood vent, microwave, sizable mini refrigerator, original Nespresso machine and pods, hot water maker, pots, pans, utensils and glassware. BATHROOM: Good-sized space with a single basin, bidet toilet, oversized shower/tub, strong water pressure, plenty of hot water and quick drainage. AMENITIES: All the usual bath amenities were provided. Items such as robes, shower caps, shaving/dental kits are available by request. Ice and water machines are offered on varying floors between 16 and 38. A coin operated laundry room, pools, Sway bar, hot tubs, fitness center, BBQ pavilion and Nami Spa are all on floor 8. Room service is available between 7am and 9pm and comes from the Sera restaurant. HOUSEKEEPING: Daily service is a rarity these days and much appreciated. RESTAURANTS: Sera and Paris Baguette, both serve B/L/D. CHECK OUT: Both associates were great. OVERALL: Really great service from everyone we encountered - bell staff, front desk, housekeeping. Staff riding in the elevators always greeted you as they exited. Great location. Beautiful facilities, not overly crowded and we really enjoyed staying outside of Waikiki.

    After returning home from Vegas I did a little staycation at the Renaissance Hotel &Spa . Fairly new hotel very nice part of the Marriott chain . When I checked in they gave me a free upgrade room to an ocean view . It was a corner unit with 2 side of the glass window one facing Diamond head and the other facing Ala Moana beach . The bathroom was unreal with a tub and a separate standing shower . The toilet was also a bidet. This hotel has a lap pool which needs to be reserved. Along with a nice pool with 2 jacuzzi. This particular hotel is located corner of Kapiolani and Keeamoku. Close to Ala Moana shopping center , Target, Walmart and the Convention center . Kamaaina rates are available based on availability. I would definitely return to this property in the future . Service is very professional and efficient and the rooms are very clean . Support local

    Perfect stay, away from the beach crowd. Renaissance was so nice after long days at Waikiki. Very convenient with Ala Moana shopping across the street. Target at the corner, Walmart in the back, Foodland at the end of the mall. There's a shuttle to Waikiki every 2hrs, just wish it was every hour in the morning, bc not everyone can fit in. Have to give a shout out to 'Sho' at the front desk. He always greeted us with a great smile, morning afternoon & evening. Definitely coming back in 365 days.

    Beautiful corner room with ocean views from a panel of windows; friendly staff, and amazing little extras: bottled water in the room, heated toilet seat. The room had a wall kitchen, with an electric range and oven, but all was compact and didn't feel crowded. There was an electric kettle as well as a single-serve coffee machine but the Nespresso machine didn't work. We informed the hotel staff upon check out. We were in a residence-style suite. Bathroom was roomy with a step-in bathtub combo, and an extra closet. It would be perfect for extended-stay travelers. The Sera restaurant bar on the ground floor had a good happy hour menu with a variety of small plates and appetizers. HH wine is $8 vs. regular price of $12, which is stilll good, considering Hawaii (specifically Maui) prices. Bonus: our kamaaina rate saved us over $100 for the overnight stay. I'd return.

    It's been a while since I've stayed in Waikiki, but WOW... this trip reminded me why I love it here and this hotel has officially stolen the crown as my absolute favorite! While it's not right in the middle of the central Waikiki market and beach, don't let that fool you there are endless beaches within walking distance, and for longer stays, the location is actually perfect. You're close to amazing local food spots, fantastic restaurants, and all the shopping you could dream of. Walmart and Sam's Club are just around the corner, Target and the mall are right across the street basically, everything you need is at your fingertips. One minute you're tanning like a beach-loving starfish, splashing around like a mermaid, and the next you're shopping until you drop, collecting souvenirs of a lifetime. Now, let's talk about the entrance absolutely stunning. The moment I walked in, I felt instantly fancy. But what truly made the stay unforgettable was the staff. They went above and beyond for our entire family, which meant the world to us given the circumstances of our trip. A special shoutout to Angel from the Spa department a true lifesaver! Angel helped us secure a BBQ gazebo and seating for our big family gathering by the pool, and thanks to them, we had the most amazing day. Speaking of the pool... wow. One huge pool, two jacuzzis, and even a lap pool something for everyone, no matter the vibe. And because no perfect pool day is complete without it, there's a full bar right there, along with the gym, spa, and restrooms. The BBQ area's location made it super easy for us to spread out, relax, and create beautiful family memories. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better setup Angel, you're the real MVP! If you need to decompress (and who doesn't in Waikiki?), the spa is a dream. Fully stocked lockers, showers, a hair-drying station, cold plunge, hot plunge (inside AND outside so you can soak next to the lush greenery), comfy lounge chairs, plus both dry and wet saunas it's pure bliss. If massages are more your vibe, the spa offers endless services to melt away every ounce of stress. And then... the suite. We had a full kitchen with a standard-size fridge, oven, and stove perfect for longer stays when you want to save a little and enjoy meals in. The view? Absolutely breathtaking. The bedroom was spacious, with a separate desk area for anyone working or studying on their trip. And the bathroom... let me tell you, seeing it in person blew our minds. Huge, modern, and even equipped with a brand-new bidet! We saw the pictures beforehand, but nothing compares to experiencing it in real life. This was hands down the best hotel we've ever stayed in, and we'll 100% be booking here again in the future. Renaissance Hotel, you've outdone yourself.

    It was a pleasure to stay at the newest hotel right across the Ala Moana Shopping Mall. We were here for 9 days and had a great time. The staff was very accommodating. Even got our room was upgraded to a partial ocean view and loved it. Two King beds was more than sufficient. We didn't expect to have plumbing issues the 1st night. The shower got clogged up. We put in a call to the front desk. Happy to report the whole issue was taken care of in less than hour. And, no further trouble for the rest of our stay. Valet parking is free for guest. However, overnight parking is pretty hefty $55. There is street parking free after 6pm but you'll have to get up early to move the care to avoid having to pay. If you plan on renting a car, I was told some people rent them as early as possible and then return them by 8pm before the the rental office closes to avoid fees. If you don't like the sand, there is a pool and jacuzzi on the 8th floor complete with several saunas. Lounge chairs are around with a a few grills if you want to bbq. We also took advantage of the washer and dryer to have clean clothes for the next leg of our trip, the Big Island. Walmart is next door. Target is right across the street. The MARA restaurant I heard is great especially since there's not many Mediterranean restaurants. There are many great places to eat nearby. Foodland Market is across the street if you want to get a Poke bowl. Several options for breakfast too. Yelp it. Ala Moana beach is very close by too. The contemporary setting had a very clean aesthetic. Hardwood floors and large bathroom were nice. Standard coffee was made available. Appreciated that. Would definitely like to stay here again on our next trip.

    Budi greeted us with a warm welcome. Since we had a late arrival, he gladly extended our checkout an hour later. The room smelled very new. It was very clean. Love the high tech switches and toilet. $48 comp on hotel food or spa daily. So far, so good.

    Pool area

    While the rooms, pool, spa, and overall property are truly state‑of‑the‑art, our stay was overshadowed by an unresolved and deeply disappointing issue regarding double‑charged destination fees. We raised the matter with the front desk and later with Che, the Director of Accounting, yet no corrective action was taken despite clear documentation. The lack of resolution has left us with no choice but to pursue formal escalation. We intend to report this incident as fraudulent billing and misrepresentation to the appropriate federal and state agencies, as well as to Marriott corporate and relevant hotel associations. It is extremely concerning that JL Capital and its ownership, including Bronson I. Libed, have declined to address or correct the duplicate charges, even after multiple attempts to resolve the matter directly.

    We stayed here when it was still sort of new. We did choose the Renaissance Residences side. Great experience, staffs were friendly! The room we stayed in was clean and we visited the restaurant that was downstairs for some breakfast food. The best way to describe the experience was how it felt very homey.

    The Renaissance hotel just recently opened its doors on February 29th 2024. Conveniently located on Kapiolani Blvd, across the street from Ala Moana Mall, and being 10 minutes walking distance to Ala Moana Beach. The Renaissance Hotel is the perfect place for a staycation or suggesting family or friends to stay while vacationing in Hawai'i. The interior design has modern-day art with a cultural influence added to it. From the 16th floor and up, every even number floor has a water and ice machine. The building has the state of the art technology showcasing the motion sensor lighting, fitness equipment, and high-grade digital touch screen HVAC system. The amenities at the property will make staying here very relaxing and comfortable. Everything from restaurants, convenience stores, and shops are at walking distance that someone's stay will be stress free. A must stay Hotel!

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.

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.

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.

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.

    We recently stayed at the Hyatt and overall had a memorable experience. Unfortunately, the first…read moretwo days of our trip were heavily impacted by severe weather--it was raining cats and dogs and apparently the worst storm in decades. 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.

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.

    Extremely rude and unprofessional service coming from one of the male bartenders…read more I was accosted while coming out of the restroom , with him frantically asking if I paid the tab, treating me like some sort of criminal. 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

Great location, very accessible to stores and the beach, and also secluded in a sense you're not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. We came as a family of three. Not only did they gave us a warm welcome, but they provided plenty of accommodations for our baby. A baby robe which was the cutest, but also a diaper genie baby bath tub and toiletries. We were so impressed! The room views were amazing and our room was upgraded which was a super plus! Breakfast was amazing! Our favorites were their mochi pancakes. They did have construction during our stay, but nothing to really get in our way. The service and accommodation were amazing! Thank you for our great stay Ka La'i! See you hopefully soon!

The service is warm and genuinely friendly. One area that still needs improvement is the elevator--it could be much quieter, and the system would benefit from modernization, particularly allowing floor selection at the entrance. Renovations are still ongoing, so access to the pool is limited. That said, the pool itself is small. 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." It's ideal if you want a quiet stay and plan to spend most of your time relaxing in your room from the lanai.

    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.

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.
