O'ahu Island

Romer at The Ambassador

The Romer Waikiki can make for a good base when exploring Waikiki. Nestled on a busy corner of the west end, this is where the road splits into the posh, beach side Kalakaua Ave and the more city-centric Kuhio Ave. You're walking distance a lot of shopping and food...

Tiki Moon Villas

Tiki Moon Villas

This resort gets a Real Gem because you can literally fall out of bed into the ocean. We can't think of anyplace in all of Hawai‘i that is this close to the water. It started out as a home that was in disrepair and bought by the current owners in 1996. They worked...

Ke Iki Beach Bungalows

Ke Iki Beach Bungalows

Hard to believe that the owners only paid $53,000 for this prime oceanfront location back in 1947. Owned by a military family who raised their children here over the years, this 1.5-acre gated property still has a relaxing family feel. The grounds are very tropical...

Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach

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...

Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina

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...

Courtyard by Marriott Oahu North Shore

Courtyard by Marriott Oahu North Shore

It's a well-laid out hotel that sits across the street from the beach. There's a large pool, a keiki pool with fountains on one end and a fire pit. Their fitness center is kind of small but functional. Their restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner...

Ohia Waikiki Studio Suites

This building started life as a hotel, then became a college dorm, then apartments and reopened as a hotel once again in mid-2015. Like many buildings in Waikiki with multiple lives, this one has some benefits and some detriments. One benefit is that all rooms...

Lotus Honolulu

Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

A hotel separated from the ocean by other buildings. Most of the rooms have good Diamond Head views. Ocean views (if you have one) are not as striking. The ambiance is minimalist Asian. The rooms are large and comfortable, most with shower-only bathrooms. They...

Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach

Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach

This 1973 property was formerly the Ohana Waikiki West. Like so many other Waikiki hotel transformations, the $110 million spent on this property was well worth it. Everything was gutted and replaced, even the elevators and the pool. From the moment you walk in, it...

Ramada Plaza Waikiki

A simple, clean, basic, reliable hotel. If you’re looking for a lanai, you’ll need a room near the end of the hallway from the fifth floor up. Their fitness room is nothing to get excited about, and the pool area feels pretty functional. The hotel is owned by China...
