Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

Grace at the Hyatt globalist check in was great. I arrived early and did not have expectations to receive a room early but she provided me with an upgrade and was able to have a room ready for me within a few short hours. There were additional small gestures that were appreciated. While I was waiting for my room to be ready, I took some time to change and returned to check in area to store my luggage. A different receptionist assisted me and informed me that I should take my luggage to the bell desk for storage which I would have been happy to comply with. However, Grace saw me when I came back to store my luggage and insisted on storing my luggage with them at the front desk and having my luggage sent to the room when it was ready. I would have been just fine with either scenario but Grace made me feel more valued.

The Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa has a great location which is walkable to local shops and restaurants, and directly across from the beach. Check in was polite and straightforward, though with so many activities, shops, and moving parts on the property, the initial rundown felt a bit overwhelming for a one night stay. The guide that the front desk provided did help make sense of it all a bit. The overall vibe leans more indoor-outdoor mall complex than hotel, but the room itself was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony offering a great ocean view that made watching surfers a highlight. The brunch buffet was tasty with plenty of options, though the $80+ price felt steep. All staff members we interacted with were very friendly, including those in the restaurant. Two aspects were slightly disappointing: the pool, which has a beautiful ocean backdrop but was crowded and loud when we visited, making it less ideal for relaxing. And a wedding on the patio that went until 10pm and was loud even from our room on a high floor.

Exceptional staff, always so helpful and the prime location made this a pleasure to stay. It can get a little noisy in the mornings as the sound carries in these older buildings. But that can be a reason to get up and enjoy Waikiki.

Breathtaking views with easy access to all your hearts desire in Waikiki. Parking is easy and access to all the shopping you will ever need is steps away. The location makes it easy to get the highway and get around the island. Enjoy the beach the zoo and a casual day walk to diamond head and more.

Always a great stay, the location is perfect amongst all the action. If you need an easy stay close to the beach, this is if.
