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...
This hotel has clean, simple, modern rooms. The pool’s rather small (so small you probably won't want to hop in if it's already occupied). Only corner rooms have bathtubs—the rest have showers. "Moderate" category rooms lack a lanai. The TVs are pretty small by...
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...
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...
This hotel is located in the heart of Waikiki next to the International Market Place, which makes venturing out particularly convenient. The rooms are modern and clean; some are small, but most feel larger than the square footage listed. Showers have hand-held...
This is a well-maintained, recently renovated hotel in the center of Waikiki. They cater more to families. We like the new lobby and room décor (a sort of mid-century Hawaiian feel), but space can feel a little tight, and the showers are tiny with hand-held shower...
Usually when we look at a renovated hotel, we can detect the bones of the previous property. In this case, the $60 million renovations to the old Aqua Waikiki Wave have made this property’s lobby and pool area completely unrecognizable to us. In fact, the whole...
Isn't it great when a longtime hotel finally gets a ton of money thrown at it for a new look? That's exactly what $115 million did for these two towers. The hotel sits directly across the street from Kuhio Beach Park, making the views from their oceanfront rooms...
This pink and white building feels like condos because all the rooms have full kitchens, but it's run like a hotel, so we're calling it a hotel. The décor is pink (surprise!) and blue and modern. Last renovations have brought new life to this aging property. It...
This is a family-operated hotel, and it’s pretty no-frills. No room safes, for example, but you can use the one at the front desk. It's a pretty basic place to stay. The room decor has withstood the Hawaii Modern theme so many other hotels have embraced and feels a...
