Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

We enjoyed excellent mixed drinks off the drink menu, as well as new concoctions mixed by Harry. The food was shared for a lite meal on the beach at the bar.

We only stayed one night, thank goodness! We're breaking the journey home from Australia to the USA. We paid over $400 for a room that was small! It was in the older part of the hotel. We barely could fit our suitcases in. Nothing had been updated in this room, probably since the 1970s. There were no plugs to be found to plug in our devices. The bathroom was tiny. The room smelled musty. The cheap mini frig made such a buzzing sound I had to unplug it. We could hear our neighbors coughing through the thin walls. The beachfront location is great but it has a small swimming pool and all the lounges were occupied so nowhere to sit. Also the beach lounges are very few and also occupied. Some positives: the central location is perfect. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived at 9am and were allowed to check into our room. If you decide to stay here, insist on a renovated room!

We lived our stay at this hotel! The beautiful location was just the beginning to a wonderful trip. Rebecca at the front desk was kind, courteous and left us a wonderful note making us feel incredibly welcomed. Carlos at the restaurant went above and beyond in his service and was the hi-light of our trip. His service and attention to guests was a 10/10!! Thank you, Carlos, for the wonderful hospitality!!

I had one of the rudest encounters with reception I have ever come across. After querying an odd payment on my credit card I was mocked and rudely dismissed. I am actually allowed to query odd payments that have been put through without any authorisation! By both the man at reception and the manager. Appalling! The Westin needs to sort these two out and make sure they aren’t allowed near guests.

I stayed in one of the penthouse rooms with my Mum in Feb 2020, right before the pandemic started. It was a wonderful experience My Mum passed on in December, so when stopping in here, on my way to Australia, I decided to treat myself again to the penthouse experience The location of #2100 is in the northeast corner and has views both to the north and east, including Diamondback mountain. This was a nice surprise as last time there was "just" the amazing Diamondback view I was disappointed, when out on the balcony, that there was no way to hear the ocean over the loud hum of air-conditioning units nearby. I don't remember that being a negative feature last time - I'm guessing because we were situated closer to the south side Also, I missed the luxurious lounge/sun beds we had last time. This unit had a (not so comfortable) sofa and 2 chairs. I'm guessing that I could have requested that latter but didn't try. Otherwise, loving my stay at this idyllic and iconic spot
