Top Sandy Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay"

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a great location for me. The hallways of the hotel smelled like flowers every time I stepped out of the elevator. The staff were friendly and helpful!"

The Kahala Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was gorgeous! Bravo for the elevated and tasteful decor. The exterior does need a little facelift here and there as it is an older hotel, but there is a "classic," old Hawaii charm about it. Bell Attendant was a bit pushy when we did not let him take our bags before check in - asking repeatedly - when guaranteed check in was only 30min out. Other than that, the staff at the Veranda was so nice and cheerful and dinner at Arancino was amazing. This is a great option to stay outside of Waikiki."

Kailua Kai/Beach Front Licensed Rental #1990/NUC-1780

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our family’s final farewell to summer and the stay was wonderful! The view from the patio overlooking beautiful green grass, nicely trimmed hedges, palm trees and the ocean was amazing. Home had all beach equipment needed to enjoy the quick walk across the lawn to beach. Home was clean, well equipped kitchen to cook and grill, beds were all comfortable, bathrooms well stocked, and very comfortable living room areas for family to gather and talk about the day. Lastly, appreciated the quick response to my questions and warm welcome from Private Homes! We plan on returning!"

"Great location, check-in process, and communication was very goodThe unit wasn’t really a one bedroom. It was more of a studio that had a very old AC window unit that struggled to keep the unit coolThe furniture and amenities were very old and dated. The pool area was nice but again very worn."

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was even better than the pictures. The space was clean and comfortable for our family of 9 to gather for 5 days. The beach was miles of beautiful ocean and sand just a few steps from the back door. The property had everything we needed from beach gear to kitchen and laundry supplies. Upon arrival we were greeted by the property manager with a tour and a delicious welcome basket. Exceptional home and property manager. It was hard to leave."
