Find Beach resorts in Honolulu

"Location was super convenient, it is right in front of the beach! Front desk was very responsive through text whenever we had questions. Though the place is a bit on the older side it was very clean and functional for our needs."

"We stayed in an ocean view room. It was very close to the sea, and the view from the lanai was absolutely stunning. I think it was one of the ocean view rooms with the best views, being so close to the ocean. I'm very grateful that we were allocated this particular room. The housekeeping staff were also very friendly and pleasant, which made our stay enjoyable. The location was also excellent, close to the Duke Kahanamoku statue in the heart of Waikiki. The only downsides were that there was no explanation about the resort points we were supposed to receive as part of our stay. Also, we booked three rooms for six people, but due to their system, we could only process payment for one room at a time. This meant I couldn't use the same credit card for the second room and had to scramble. I'd recommend bringing enough credit cards for each room you book. These two minor issues were a bit disappointing, so I deducted one star from the service rating."

"Our first stop on this wonderful vacation had a hotel with a great view. Sitting on the balcony, eating watermelon and watching the sea was so relaxing! Overall, the room was clean and tidy, but it was quite old-fashioned. The housekeeping auntie was really nice and helpful. The resort is super close to ABC Store, the White McDonald's, and the zoo. There are tons of dining options nearby, and the beach is just across the road and very lively. Breakfast was simple, with a Japanese touch, and changed daily, which was a pleasant surprise and quite tasty. However, the housekeeping department and front desk service were just okay. It was hard to get through to them by phone, and the $50 resort fee didn't seem to cover much service, like disposable slippers. "

"The view here is absolutely stunning; it's the main reason to go! The Diamond Head and ocean views are incredible, something you wouldn't typically find at a 4-star hotel. However, what was disappointing was that housekeeping only came every two days, and while they replaced the towels, it seemed they didn't change the bed sheets. I noticed a stain on the duvet before leaving, and when I returned after housekeeping, the duvet looked tidy, but the stain was still in the exact same spot. Parking cost about $290 for 5 days, and since it's valet, you also have to tip when you get your car, which can be an extra burden. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend looking for free parking nearby. I just opted for valet because I didn't want the hassle. Waikiki is less than a 10-minute walk away, and most of the staff were very friendly."

"This was one of the hotels I'd been wanting to stay at, with Diamond Head right in front of me, and I was satisfied with the location and decor, which met my expectations. Due to the high prices, we had to settle for in-room dining, but even at night, we could look down from the 5th floor at the 3rd-floor pool and the lively chatter at the restaurant, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, and our canned beer tasted great. However, the valet parking was expensive at $60/day, so we opted for the free street parking along Waikiki Beach, as mentioned in reviews. On Saturday, our first day, we were lucky to find an empty spot and save some money, but there were none on Sunday, so we parked on the shoulder of a road a bit further away. This area was also packed with street parking. Nevertheless, the next morning, we found a parking ticket and had to pay $155 at the downtown district court. I can certainly understand a 'NO PARKING' sign, but it would be helpful to have clear signs for free parking areas too. In the end, it cost us an additional $35 – what a bummer."

"The Disney Hotel in Hawaii is indeed a Disney in the dream. Sunshine ☀️ Beach 🏖️ Coconut Tree 🌴, the hotel staff is also very warm and thoughtful. After arriving at the hotel, they immediately changed from i to e, especially the interactive link and Disney's cockroaches are particularly happy 🥳 really spent the magical three days. 🪄🏰 I will come again next time."

"The Rainbow Tower is quite new and the rooms are decent, but the elevators are incredibly slow. With over 1000 rooms sharing just 5 elevators, you're looking at nearly a ten-minute wait every time. I'd advise against booking an ocean view room because you won't really see much ocean; it's mostly lagoon. For a true ocean view, you'd need to book an 'oceanfront view,' and even then, it depends on the front desk's mood – they might give you a low floor where you still can't see anything. My room was on a very low floor with virtually no view, plus there was construction going on downstairs, which was very noisy. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way for Waikiki; it's over a 15-minute walk to the main area. However, it's only a 15-minute walk to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Also, if beach quality is important to you, don't stay here. The beach is full of coral fragments, which hurt your feet, and the water is murky. The towel counter closes at 6 PM, so there's nowhere to return towels after that. Additionally, they don't offer complimentary beach chairs or bodyboards, unlike Marriott where they're free. Overall, it's not really worth the price."

"I had seen a lot of negative reviews on various platforms before, but I didn't experience any of those issues myself. 1. I checked in earlier than the official time. The front desk staff was very friendly and explained that my room was still being cleaned, so I couldn't check in immediately. I left my luggage and went out shopping. While I was out, the hotel called to say my room was ready, which was earlier than the standard check-in time. 2. I discussed my room preferences with the front desk, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. It felt much better than what I had booked."

"I stayed in a room with a sunset on the 23rd floor ５. The harbor and sunset from the room are beautiful. The number of towels and sheets that were exchanged depending on the day was different, but if you inquire, you can bring them. It was far from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but it was very convenient within walking distance to the center. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity."

"The room is old, but well maintained. If you are a fan of White Lotus, you will feel it as soon as you arrive at the hotel. Pros: The room is well maintained, the green facilities downstairs are good, and the overall living experience is good; Cons: There is no private beach, the privacy is average, and the beach is shared with several hotels; the staff are not very enthusiastic;"
