The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki

“100% recommend staying here in this absolutely stunning classic hotel. You don’t feel like you’re in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki when staying here. The lush Gardens and ambience of the hotel are so relaxing. The room was a good size although the bathroom was definitely small for four people. The gorgeous wood doors were absolutely stunning and our view of the gardens was gorgeous. The lobby hotel is a stunning way to start your trip. There is a small pool on site, but we decided to use the pool next-door that you are allowed to use as it has water slides for the kids and much more family ” — I Know Places

“Historic downtown Waikiki hotel- very regal with gardens, friendly staff, and lots of history! Rooms are a bit dated ( stayed in the Molokai tower oceanfront) and small.

Enjoying the centrally located hotel but would have preferred something more refined and exclusive - especially for the price.” — Beverly Bokovitz
