Top Kahala Beach Hotel Reviews

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel history."

Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki

8/10 Good

"Room was decent, on the small end"

Aston Waikiki Sunset

10/10 Excellent

"The room had an odor, most likely from the old carpet. Overall though, the location was really good, the mountain view was amazing. It was close to a lot of good food and shopping options, and we appreciated having access to a full kitchen with included utensils and kitchenware. Would stay again."

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Hilton Waikiki Resort & Spa for 9 nights in October. We were happy to get a good deal given our trip was in October. Overall, our interactions with the staff including housekeeping, front desk, valet, and staff responding to text messages were all very positive and helpful. Everyone offered to help promptly. We had a room with a beautiful ocean view from the 35th floor. For a Hilton, I think that the furniture in the room could have been in better condition such as the main cabinet in the guest room. The closet was in the bathroom which made getting clothes in and out a bit more tricky given it is tight near the bathroom entrance. If there were more hooks on the wall to hang up towels or clothes, that would have been very helpful given that surface space to put stuff down on was also limited. We didn't have time to use the pool and hot tub during our stay, but the deck was beautiful especially at night with the fire pits. We did enjoy having mini golf on the deck. We used the gym a few times and found it to be well-equipped. Tip: the water from the water bottle filler in the gym is the coldest compared to the one on the main floor and 10th floor (on the deck). It was wonderful to be able to refill our water bottles and not waste water bottles. It would have been nice to have a separate recycling bin in the guestroom. On the 9th floor, there is a microwave and laundry facilities which was very helpful. Overall, I would stay here again if there was a good deal"

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"I like the staff very nice."

They made us feel comfortable and made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has a beautiful atmosphere and a great location for enjoying everything Waikiki has to offer. We truly appreciated the hospitality and the great service throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hawaii, and I would love to stay here again on my next trip to paradise! 🌺🌴"
