Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

Hotel is not on beach, you have to pass street ,beach is norow, bring swimming shoes ocean floor is racky, close to stores

Great hotel complex Well located with great amenities Across the road from the beach. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and experiences Just make sure your room is not overlooking the construction site that starts up at 6am

My check-in experience was deeply disappointing and fell well short of the standards I expect, especially as a Globalist member. I was initially told that no early check-in or room upgrades were available. However, after a considerable wait and speaking with a different agent, a room was suddenly found. What was most concerning was that while I was being told nothing was available, I overheard the agent next to me offer another guest both an early check-in and a room upgrade for an extra fee. This created the impression that the hotel had availability but was unwilling to extend these benefits to elite members, which felt misleading. While the issue was eventually resolved, the inconsistency and lack of transparency made for a very frustrating start to my stay. The most alarming part of our stay was a severe security failure and the subsequent handling of the incident by the hotel's management. Shortly after leaving the hotel entrance, my wife was struck and injured by a grape thrown from an upper-floor balcony. When we immediately reported this to the manager, their response was deeply concerning. Security was called but stated they could do nothing, even though we identified a suspicious individual who was the only person on the balcony in question. More disturbingly, we were told that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred and that a glass bottle had been thrown on a previous occasion. The manager's initial attempt to resolve the matter by simply offering a $100 hotel credit felt dismissive of a physical injury and the serious safety breach. My wife was in enough pain that she could not walk at that moment, and the staff's indifferent attitude was unacceptable. This recurring issue of objects being thrown from balconies is a major liability and poses a significant danger to guests. For a hotel in such a prominent location, this lack of security is a grave concern.

Super old, dated building. food was fast food style and very poor nutritional quality. Hula hoop class was great. Close access to the beach. Nice rooms.

The location of the HR Waikiki is tough to beat...it's across the street from the beach BUT there is nothing to obstruct the view and you are facing the famous Duke Kahanomoku statue. Great spot for getting to the beach, sunset, walking to shops/restaurants, etc. Be wary of self-park--it's in a multi story garage that you have to circle around to the 6th floor to even look for self parking--pay the extra for valet (we drove out of the d@mn garage immediately), the valet people are friendly and fast. The Diamond Tower was great (I think superior to the Ewa Tower bc of view) and we were upgraded to a partial ocean view--it was heavenly. Room itself was larger than usual, bathroom smaller, but all very functional (good charging plug-ins, mini fridge/no micro, lighting wasn't great). Service and ammenities were A+! Pool is small but get yoself to the beach! Ammenities include daily use of beach chairs & towels, boogie boards & sand toys--the use of Tommy Bahama beach chairs was so appreciated and we took them to beaches all over Oahu. Waikiki is a loud party area, first night area music kept me awake until 12:00 but it got quieter during the week. A small police station is across the street and we (2 women) felt safe walking on the main drag at all times. I was granted a late check out and later use of a hospitality room for a quick shower/change before heading toward the airport--so helpful. TBH I booked 4 nights on Hyatt points and feel I got GREAT value with ammenity fees included. Become a World of Hyatt member asap. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
