Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

My wife and I stayed for our 1st anniversary and we absolutely LOVED IT. Concierge, room service, cleanliness, view, location were all excellent. We literally had everything within walking distance. The only knock we could give was the pool and jacuzzi closed at sunset but with the beach across the street, who needs a pool?

It was the best honeymoon. Although there were many uncertainties as it was our first time traveling abroad, we received excellent service even with our limited English. We would love to use your services again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!

The Halepuna is a beautiful hotel with a quiet elegance. The hotel gives a calm vibe. The staff is very friendly and professional with an amazing attention to detail. This is not an overcrowded hotel. It almost has a gentleness to it. The rooms are beautiful and the pool is fabulousl! We have loved our stays at the Halepuna and look forward to our return! It's our favorite hotel in Honolulu!

My stay at Halepuna was everything you’d expect from a top-tier luxury hotel—and then some. I rarely write reviews, but the outstanding service from the staff and the breathtaking beauty of the location compelled me to share my experience. From the comfortable sandals to the serene pool and the unbeatable location, every detail made my visit truly unforgettable. Halepuna went above and beyond in every way.

Umi by Vikram Garg is an amazing restaurant. Unfortunately it is in what is at best a budget hotel. On Mother’s Day, after dining in their highly acclaimed Umi restaurant the hotel insisted on a $36 self parking fee after the 3 hour fine dining meal. After speaking with manager Shogo about the situation he wanted to make it clear that Umi was not a part of the Halepuna hotel and they were a separate entity. He also said that Valet parking was free and for self parking there was a charge. I’m not quite sure how this makes any sense but Shogo was determined to make us understand Umi was not associated with Halepuna . Umi really is a Michelin quality restaurant and hands down the best restaurant within the Halekulani properties. So just be aware, when you dine at Umi and you are local you must valet park even though the car goes into the same lot as the self parking. This unfortunately is a perfect example of how the Halepuna Hotel and managers like Shogo do not respect their local Hawaiian customers and will try to get as much money out of local folks these days. It is really quite shameful. Please have more respect your local customers. We are important too.
