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...
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
Their 6,000-sq.-ft. Royal Kaila Spa offers bone-melting services, a great waiting room view of the beach and even bridal gown rentals. There are cultural demonstrations all the time in the center of the lobby next to an enormous wood carving telling the story of...
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...
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...
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...
Hilton Waikiki Beach
The hotel feels geared toward the business traveler with many amenities. 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 nice) or the ocean....
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 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. But...
The Ritz-Carlton O‘ahu, Turtle Bay
This 840-acre resort straddles 5 miles of beaches. The already gem-of-a-hotel became part of the Ritz-Carlton family in 2024, and on our visit for this edition it was looking the best we’ve seen it. The place seems to have a very low-key, relaxed vibe overall, and...
The Kahala Hotel & Resort
Typically this resort is ranked among the world’s best hotels—for good reason. This is probably our favorite O‘ahu resort. It has all the trappings of a big, fun, destination resort without any of the annoyances, like waiting in line or crowds. The Kahala isn’t in...
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...
