  Just ok, resort fees are terrible

  I used my bonvoy room upgrade and the room wasn’t great. I’ve had similar rooms on business travel without upgrading. It was roomy but basic with side view of the ocean. The breakfast used to be more robust as well. Our free night ended up being close to $200 with parking and resort fees. I need to find another place to stay in Oahu.

  Central location, good amenities

  The location is very central, close to the shops, nightlife and the beach. It's a bit noisy at night on the lower floors., so try to get something higher up. The amenities are great. I came before check-in time and got a temporary card that lets me access the towels, body board and a hospitality room. So I could change, leave my luggage with them, and head straight to the beach or boat. The room was pleasant and good sized. The concierge was excellent for planning excursions. It was a nice visit.

  Basic hotel off the beach with partial views

  I wasn't a huge fan of this hotel. I booked an "oceanfront room" through Costco only to find out that there are no ocean facing rooms in this hotel. False advertising. Everything is partial view at best. The room itself was decent but no fluff and the shower had a leaky faucet. The bathroom in general was quite small/cramped with no fan. Toilet had a bidet but seat opening was very small. AC was marginal and the balcony made me queasy. USB charging ports were underpowered and unable to charge my older cell phone. On the positive side, the room had large windows with good blackout curtains and also a large TV. Buffet breakfast was included in my package and they had decent food selection with excellent service. This hotel also has two very basic rectangular pools but neither overlook the ocean. In general it seemed a bit dated.

  Great views, amenities and hospitality

  This was the first vacation, my husband and I have been able to take in a long time and we enjoyed every minute. We spoke with the wonderful concierge Lydia before arriving and were able to schedule the luau, Pearl Harbor excursion and get some good tips ahead of time. We reserved dinner at the Signature Steakhouse at the beautiful Alo Moana Hotel which was great. It was nice to have most days planned before we arrived.,We booked the North Shore tour directly with the tour company and probably saved a few bucks. Most importantly, we upgraded to insure we had a balcony room on a high floor with a beach view. Absolutely recommend you do this because it was just so lovely every day to look out on the water and enjoy the sunrises, sunsets, beach and water activities and even a gorgeous rainbow after a little morning rainfall. It was so relaxing, the shower and bed and room layout were excellent with coffee maker and fridge. The location of this hotel is excellent, lots of eating choices and walkable shopping, beach time even the zoo and nice view of Diamond Head. Try not to book dinner or luau on Friday night because we missed the fireworks at the beach. Only disappointment was the morning yoga class - it was not invigorating or relaxing and the instructor was rude and just going through the motions. But the tai chi class was great and we enjoyed the gym, the pool tables and watching the games in the lounge downstairs. Only wish they had a sauna but overall, the service, amenities, cleanliness of this hotel did not disappoint! We will be back!

  Perfect stay!

  We had the most amazing room at this hotel. There was an error with our reservation so we were upgraded to the biggest suite we have ever stayed in. There were three balconies, all overlooking Waikiki Beach, there were 2 bathrooms with shower and toilet, a massive living/lounge area and a huge bedroom with two queen beds. The room was immaculate and couldn't be faulted. I am so grateful for this upgrade over New Years Eve, it was the best view of NYE fireworks we have ever experienced. The location of the hotel is perfect, across the road from Waikiki Beach and at the quieter end which made finding a spot on the beach easier. The line up for breakfast was frustrating but the food was great. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would happily stay again.
