Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, pretty"

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"This hotel is ok but needs a little maintenance. The rooms are spacious and clean. The advantage is that you are across the street from the beach which is very convenient."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Nice resort. Bell staff is amazing. Front desk staff operates like a high volume resort - No deviations and minimal explanations- have to figure things out in your own. Definitely buy the breakfast buffet - staff there is absolutely amazing and food is great."

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and helpful. Very convenient location. My only complaint is having to pay $60 per night to park your vehicle. The hotel does not have self parking and you are practically cornered to paying the valet parking. Other than that we enjoyed our stay."
