Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

The staff absolutely make this place. Renee was exceptional at check-in and answered our queries promptly while being personable at the same time - she is truly a delight. Anson who works in the longboard club is also lovely and is always asking if there’s anything else he can do. We enjoyed many conversations with him during our stay and he is a credit to the hotel. The location is perfect, 2 min walk to the beach and every type of restaurant and bar at your fingertips. The rooms are nice but fairly basic - the TVs require you to use Google cast which never seemed to work for me, it would be better if they’d be upgraded to have Netflix at minimum. I did pay for an ocean view room and I was a little disappointed that only half of my balcony was really an ocean view, so I’d say don’t bother with room upgrades. The hotel was clean but the layout at times were strange, many doors to get to the pool which made you question if you were going the right way. The pool was in the shade until midday and fairly impossible to get a lounger. I didn’t notice the hotel or surrounding areas being noisy and the atmosphere in the lobby was amazing with the fish tank. The fitness centre is also very good compared to other hotels in the area. The longboard club is absolutely not worth the money, the food is orientated around snacks such as hummus and veg and there’s one main option in the evening - if you have any dietary requirements then not great. I probably wouldn’t stay at this hotel again as I didn’t think it was 5 star, it felt more like 3-4.

We had a wonderful day at the beach with my friend. The food was delicious, and the piña colada was excellent. Jakub took great care of us, made sure we were comfortable, found a perfect spot for us. We will gladly come back here and highly recommend this place!

It was okay. Wish it were better. Chose and paid for the room with an ocean view and was told at check in there weren’t any more of them available. Was provided the Mountain View room and told to come back to check in services the next day to see if one is available. Waited 30 minutes in line to move room and they said to move to other tower. We did and it was nearly the same view and still not a direct ocean view like we paid for. Also, the wifi didn’t work, the tv said weak or no signal so nearly all of the channels didn’t work. The door to enter the room was jammed and the only way to open it was to shove the door really hard. Furthermore, a lot of the stairways to exit from the pool way specifically has random debris (suitcases, chairs, wires, dangerous metal) blocking stairways. I don’t know how they let the place be like this. I will not recommend this place to family or friends. Too over priced for what you get. The aquarium was awesome and it is in a good location but that’s about it.

Eduardo up at the pool area was super friendly and accomodating . The atmosphere was super chill and food was so good

Cannot recommend this hotel enough! Literally across the road from the beach and right in the heart of Waikiki. Coffee shop below (Kai) did the best coffee and a store on the ground floor as well was very convenient. Rooms were spacious and clean, we booked an ocean view king and was lovely. Staff are very friendly and nothing was a problem, pool area was kept clean and service was good only thing there is not a lot of sun loungers as the pool (like most in waikiki) are small but having the beach rentals made beach days just that bit better!
