Top Kaka'ako Hotel Reviews

Waikiki Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, perhaps a little tired. Very spacious room and lovely staff."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hot tub was more like a cold brew. I also booked ocean view but it was more of the city than the ocean. Everything else was fine.. I was a little mad I was offered a late checkout but the day of was told it was unavailable. . just glad they were nice enough to hold our luggage till our Lyft came 5 hours later 😩 I blame myself.. I'll plan better next time."

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The Moana Surfrider is such a pleasure to stay at. When you're in Hawaii, you want an oceanfront property and the Moana has a great location on the strip. You're on the oceanfront so you can go to the beach any time you like, then take a dip in the pool after. Food and shopping are walking distance and there's plenty of places to go. Water is provided daily in your room and housekeeping is helpful, courteous, efficient, and friendly. Housekeeping will also refill the coffee pods and tea bags in your room as well that are also provided for free. There are three wings, the tower, banyan, and surfrider wings. We generally stay in the surfrider wing in an oceanfront room. The oceanfront rooms have a lanai with rocking chairs so that you can enjoy a coffee and the sunrise while overlooking the ocean and sleep to the sound of the crashing waves. Depending on which room you're in in the tower wing, you'll either get a a view of the sunrise, sunset, or both. The tower and surfrider wings have balconies/lanais if you have an ocean view room. The banyan wing does not provide either for any of the rooms. Towels are provided for the pool and the beach and you can also reserve an umbrella for the beach if you desire. All the staff at the Moana are friendly and helpful. We've stayed at three other hotels in Waikiki, but always go back to the Moana Surfrider."
