AKBAugust 17, 2018One of our favorite hotels in the world. You can’t beat the location, the amenities, the architecture, and the grounds. I could spend my life on the lanai.

KellieDecember 21, 2012Walk across Ali'i Drive to the ABC store for reasonably-priced souvenirs, snacks, liquor, and fresh fruit. Boar's Head deli meats.
Allie Forrester-KostersJanuary 1, 2015So far everything seems great. The staff are helpful, the room is clean. Tip. Skip the soda machines, there is a CVS nearby.
Standard room is quite a bit ahead of the competition on space, amenities and price. Hotel as a whole is very good. Only real drawback is that Wi-Fi is not complimentary
Shannon MayorgaMay 2, 2013On site food is a little mixed. Skip breakfast buffet. Worse than Denny's! Happy hour and dinner at Don the Beachcomber is excellent.- KellieDecember 21, 2012Ali'i Tower, south-facing Oceanview rooms have a great view of sunset on the water and the luau...at less cost than the Oceanfront room.
Rachel AdamsJanuary 26, 2017It's not fancy but the location is excellent and the staff is great. It's nice to have a mini fridge too
Room decor definitely dated, some strange mechanical issues. Customer service has been very good. Dinner at Don's was excellent but pricey, just over $100 for two.
BC OOctober 26, 2022The staff are amazing and nice. The hotel is old and needs a major update. The room was meh but the view of ocean amazing.
Otel.comJuly 24, 2012Don't miss the luaus here which feature an open bar, buffet of traditional dishes, fire dances and more!
In my opinion there is no need to pay more for a corner room in the Alii tower. The view is amazing !
Ethyl PineAugust 8, 2013Booked a regular mountain view room but received an ocean view room. I guess late check-in isn't too bad :-)
Great location but the rooms are ehhhh. Needs work, especially bathrooms but cannot beat the 2 minute walk to Ali'i drive
Lyle FongNovember 29, 2011Rooms in the ali'i tower are nice. Other towers are like a motel 6 frozen in the 60's. But regardless, the views are nice.- Margaritas at Don's Mai Tai Bar are the Best! Try the Mango Margarita :-)
- The corner king rooms in the Alii tower are your best bet and the ocean views are awesome.
- Check out the pool but try not to do it sober. Trust me on this.
Kortnie WestfallJanuary 24, 2011This place is really nice and has amazing views, but charges for their Internet! Who does that anymore??
Charges for internet are for every laptop in the room are you @#$&ing kidding! Hotel management is clueless to internet pricing!
Vidya ParthasarathyDecember 29, 2012Overcrowded. No shuttles to anything. If you don't have a car you're screwed. Shopping around is decent and restaurants are good. Hotel restaurant is over priced. Overall not worth the price you pay.
