If you're staying in Honolulu you need to stay on one of the hotels on Kalakaua avenue. Get a balcony room for breathtaking views of the coast. You won't regret the splurge!
Happening place towards the end part of Kalakua Ave. Book an Ocean View room. $25 resort fee includes free daily Mai Tai,60 mins international phone calls and daily wi fi Internet access.
Don't buy drinks here! There are plenty of places within walking distance to get cheaper drinks. The d.k. Steakhouse is the business! Get the set menu. It's a great deal!
KuhioBeach Grill FTW!!! Super Ono buffets. Priced right and lip smackin' yum. Local favs from Portuguese sausage to miso soup for bfast & kalua pig, prime rib, crab legs for din! U won't regret it!
Choose “ocean front room” for best views. Can probably get a free upgrade if you choose “ocean view room” and have status. Kapoiolani tower has the views
Amazing hotel. Service is top notch and the rooms are incredible. We had a spectacular beach view from the 16th floor with a sliver of mountain in the distance. Staff all over the resort were great!
Always book what you want, but if you are lucky enough to bookocean view or get an upgrade ask for room 1523 - unless I'm in town because I will want it!
Best place to stay at Waikiki. On main strip, but a couple of blocks away from the excessive noise. AAA discounts are great here. The beds are super comfortable.
The “free” beach chairs (your resort fee covers the cost) are actually $5 camping chairs and completely inappropriate for the beach. Also, no umbrellas at all. Why even offer this?!
The pool here is pretty nice. I'd you are staying nearby, feel free to join is by taking the stairs behind ABC Store to the third floor. Access is. It enforced.
This is an awfully busy&noisy place. Have to walk to just get to any shop/restaurant/pool in the building. Finding entry to come into is nuts too. (There's an entrance for buses). Choose another hotel
Good luck trying to navigate the hotel between the elevators and having parts of the hotel randomly closed for special events its like walking trough a labyrinth, it gets old quick.
This is a standard 3 star hotel with some very nice, albeit not luxurious accommodations, the drapes need to be updated. Beware of $25.00 resort charge, usually not posted on rates, in fine print.
Don't bother using the hotel's concierge service to plan anything you want to do. They constantly leave out details that could alter your plans and that definitely effect the prices of things.
I echo the resort fee comment. Last time here the manager was willing to wave it...not so this trip. The fee is not noted when booking so I have elevated the issue to my company's travel agent.
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa offers a pristine oceanfront hotel location with stunning ocean views, as well as rooms with private lanais. Amenities also include a renovated lobby, updated venues, a poolside terrace, a spa and award-winning dining.
