Featured Resorts

The Kahala Hotel & Resort

Typically this resort is ranked among the world’s best hotels—for good reasons. 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...

Imperial Hawai‘i Resort

This timeshare property has some vacation rentals available throughout the year. The rooms could use updating since they have not changed furnishings much in all the years we have visited. The studios have pull-down Murphy beds, making good use of the space. Some...

Halekulani

Note: The Halekulani will be closed for renovations until mid 2021 - sometime in July. 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,...

Royal Hawaiian (Sheraton)

The Royal Hawaiian 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 Hawaiian's developers had their pick of where to build, so they chose this part of the beach. And no...

Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach

This is probably the only "new" resort in Waikiki that, unlike others, wasn't a resort before it opened in late 2016. It 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...

Coconut Waikiki Hotel

The new lobby and motto is warm, comfy and fun. It sports long tables for guests to enjoy their free full breakfast with other guests. That morning meal is quite popular with hot items, muffins, pastries and fresh fruit, as well as traditional items like corn...

Sheraton Waikiki

Although there are bigger resorts, Sheraton Waikiki 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,...

Turtle Bay Resort

This 840-acre resort is on 5 miles of beaches. 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 staff is nice. New owners have slowly but steadily been putting money—over $70...

Holiday Surf

This is a family-operated hotel, and it’s pretty no-frills. No room safes, but you can use the front desk’s. They have made upgrades, and it was in the best shape we've ever seen it for this edition. Upgrades include some new showers, some new bedding, some new...

Park Shore Waikiki

Update: There is some work on-going to exterior of the building. No date was giving for finishing at this time. This hotel is near the park and the shore, so it’s aptly named. The rooms are clean and simple but a tad small. They added smart TVs so you can connect...
