Featured Resorts

Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort

This hotel's location on the beach is fantastic, though the building design means that only a small percentage of rooms are right over the beach. They’re near the center of action in Waikiki, and their restaurants—especially Duke’s Canoe Club—are winners. The last...

Double Tree Alana Hotel poolside with the chairs lined up on the side

DoubleTree Hotel Alana Waikiki Beach

This hotel is popular with business travelers and those who want convenient access to the Hawai‘i Convention Center a few minutes’ walk away. The rooms have been updated with modern décor in rich chocolates and aqua tones. The bathrooms have shower stalls only,...

Paradise Bay Resort

This resort is composed of 11 buildings (some waterfront) of up to three floors each built on the slopes of a hill (lots of steps). The area used to be a military barracks during WWII. In the 1940s the first building was built, others followed, and in the 1970s it...

Aulani Resort Beach and Waikoloa Valley Pools

Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Wow! This resort dominates the landscape on this side of the island. We have to admit that we’re not Disney groupies, so we had our own biases going into this review. And it took us longer to see this resort from top to bottom than any other resort in Hawai‘i....

Hilton Waikiki Beach

The hotel feels geared toward the business traveler with many amenities and no resort fee. Rooms are clean and very modern with their trademark Serenity beds and 42-inch TVs that you can connect to your computer. Rooms either face the mountains (which are very...

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki

Formerly the Maile Sky Court, they did a good job of turning around a very dated property, but certain things couldn't be changed because they're part of the original building—for example, no room has a lanai. Rooms are basic, clean and modern without being overly...

Sheraton Waikiki

Although there are bigger resorts, this 31-story tower is the biggest single hotel building in all Hawai‘i. It’s so big you can actually get lost in the hallways, which keep going and going and going. You can do a lot of walking at this sprawling hotel, which can...

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort

This is one of Waikiki’s most historic hotels, originally opened in 1901, and the second floor has a nice display describing the legacy of this establishment. Their three buildings surround a century-old banyan tree that lends an air of timelessness to the...

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

This is the kind of place you think of when you imagine a large, very nice Hawaiian resort: tropical feel, open-air lobby and good staff. Even though it’s very large, it radiates the dreamy warmth you’re looking for without seeming too busy. There are two towers...

Hyatt Regency Waikiki

The Hyatt Regency is one of the bigger Waikiki resorts. It consists of two towers surrounding a huge, open atrium with gobs of shops and a three-story man-made waterfall that makes for an impressive lobby. Their 10,000-sq.-ft. Na Ho‘ola Spa has some breathtaking...
