Lovely Trip!

Had an amazing time at the Waikiki Resort Hotel! We especially enjoyed the two morning yoga sessions with both Paige and Warm, as well as the Sound Bath with Celia. We highly recommend taking advantage of these free activities!

Amazing!

The room temperature was just right for deep sleep, and the mattresses were nice too. We booked the partial ocean view, and the view from the veranda was breathtaking. The hotel swimming pool was open until 9 pm, so after the preplanned sightseeing, our family could use it for so long. Especially the location of the hotel was so great that all the tasty places were nearby, and Waikiki beach was only one block away...

We loved this resort...

We loved this resort. Fantastic staff and wonderful resort experiences. Loved the lei making and hula class. Yoga on the beach was a highlight too. Location is wonderful all round but especially if you have small children. Steps from the more protected areas of the beach and short walk to the zoo and aquarium. Right in Honolulu but a bit quieter than the other big resorts, which we liked. Pool is clean and good chairs to relax...

Still Great!

Recently returned from our third trip to Hawaii & our third stay here. It's under new ownership so there have been a few changes. Nothing much to add to my previous reviews, other than I am happy to say the Waikiki Resort is still as nice as it was during our other stays. It's still very clean & comfortable, & the service is still exemplary. Keep up the good work!
