Featured Resorts

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...

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...

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...

Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk

This resort sits on top of the Waikiki Beach Walk shopping center. The Hula Tower is closest to the water, and the Aloha Tower has most of its ocean views blocked by the resort in front of them. The resort doesn’t feel like a contemporary Hawaiian resort. The lobby...

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 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 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...

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...

Halekulani

Wow, where do we start? This is an awesome and relaxing resort. It started as a private home back the in late 1800s and has been a hotel since 1907 when rooms went for about $6, but it opened in its current form in 1984. Services are unmatched here. For instance,...
