'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very attentive and helpful. My reservation was last minute due to the hurricane and they made a very tired first feel very at home."

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"First time in Hawaii and did not disappoint. Very nice hotel and close to the beach and all other stores. We did upgrade to an ocean view balcony and couldn’t get enough view from this beautiful place . Definitely will be back . The one star I remove was parking . We rented a car from the hotel for $98 just because they had advertised a free parking but they didn’t let us know that it’s overnight only, we couldn’t come back anytime during the day and park at the hotel so we had to straggle to find a parking anytime we would come back to the hotel .. otherwise the rental car across the street we found for $60 .."
