Featured Resorts

Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

This hotel is right on the beach. The décor has a Hawaiian feel with all the modern amenities. The Ocean Tower is worth the extra money here. The pool area can be very busy because some other Outrigger properties have access to it. Rooms facing the Waikiki Shore...

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki

This formerly very dated property has been nicely turned around. 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 furnished for their small...

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort

This is one of Waikiki’s historically significant 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...

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...

Hilton Hawaiian Village

Where do we start? We’ve reviewed every resort in Hawai‘i, and this is the biggest kahuna of them all. On a typical day they’ll have over 6,000 guests serviced by 1,700 employees, which practically qualifies it as a small town. If you’re looking for a pulsating,...

Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach

This now-resort had a previous life as an office building, which gives it some added benefits, such as 12-foot ceilings, unique room layouts and a lobby on the eighth floor. When you walk in, you feel suddenly transported from the street noise because the lobby is...

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...

Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina

This Four Seasons opened its doors in 2016 after a $250 million renovation to the former JW Marriott Ihilani Resort. Although the entry and footprint don't feel much different to us than the former hotel, many amenities have been added to bring it up to Four...

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 had modern decor when they were first decorated—now the rich chocolates and aqua tones feel a little dated. The...

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...
