Featured Resorts

Hawaiian Princess

First of all, this condo complex is not just a Gem, it’s also a Solid Gold Value. It has the kind of beachfront location that people dream of. It’s built right on top of Papaoneone Beach, a very picturesque and surprisingly lightly used half-mile-long beach. Views...

Pacific Monarch

These condos are individually owned, but most rooms in the rental pool have a consistent look that is light and appealing. Studios have a kitchenette and a standing-room-only lanai. Lanais on 1/1s are large, and some of the views (especially from the rooftop pool...

Luana Waikiki Hotel & Suites

Although each room is individually owned, all are decorated similarly in an antique Hawaiiana theme and are nicely appointed. Rooms facing the ocean have unusually good views given the distance, thanks to the tranquil park between you and the water 0.3 miles away....

Royal Hawaiian

The Royal is one of the premier resorts in Waikiki. Back when they built this place in 1927, there was only one other hotel—the nearby Moana. The Royal’s developers had their pick of where to build, so they chose this part of the beach. And no wonder—this is...

Oasis Hotel Waikiki

This two-tower hotel has a surprisingly airy atmosphere. The lobby is a pleasant place to relax with hanging chairs and comfy sofas. The rooms have a contemporary, fresh feel and make good use of the space. One tip—in the standard category, if you opt for a king...

Waikiki Monarch Hotel

Well, you found it. This is the most distant hotel in Waikiki that’s technically still in Waikiki. The only thing convenient about the location is that when you’re leaving Waikiki, it’s on the corner on your way out. The rooms are unremarkable at best. The staff at...

Waikiki Banyan

This large condo complex is good for families. There’s even a playground and basketball court next to the pool on the sixth floor. If you’re in Tower 2, be aware that some of your “ocean view” may be dominated by Tower 1, if you have a room directly facing that...

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...

Halepuna Waikiki

This hotel has a modern design theme, but rooms seem to try to blend old and new furnishings with mixed results. The color scheme now matches their sister property across the street Halekulani with pale blues and neutrals. There are no grounds, but the place is...

Hotel Renew

This is a small hotel that is sexy, urban and chic—not typical Waikiki. The color scheme is dark, rich, warm and inviting. Literally everything was designed especially for them, and every place you look there is something unusual, from the lobby washroom sinks...
