Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were beautiful. The pool is fun for kids and the beach access is convenient. I would stay there again. Restaurants and shops are within short walking distance"

Best Western The Plaza Hotel Honolulu Airport - Free Breakfast

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed the free continental breakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The pool was small but well maintained and clean. The property is older but everything worked out well. If you are on a budget this hotel is good."

OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful! Our view from our balcony was just absolutely stunning! Being on the eighth floor, we had access to the lounge and we got free breakfast every day and we got drinks in the afternoon. The whole entire hotel is just incredible. The absolute only negative I have about the whole entire place is that our room was backed up to a stairwell that staff use and there was noise at night they weren’t careful about the noise that they made or about the doors that they slammed but literally that was the only negative so if you ask not to be placed by the stairwell, maybe you can avoid that issue but even with the stairwell, I would absolutely stay here again. It was the most incredible experience of my life."

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Definitely a great location with clean room and excellent swim beach right across the road . The Tiki Bar & Grill located in the hotel is an excellent restaurant with a beautiful ocean view and great food. One improvement would be to add a small drying rack on the balcony for swimsuits and towels, which would be very convenient for guests. The biggest disappointment was the resort fee, which is over $50 per day. While it includes the use of beach equipment, the rental shop closes at 5:00 PM—right when one of the best times to enjoy the beach begins. It would be much more guest-friendly if beach chairs and umbrellas could be returned after 6:00 PM without an additional fee."
