Top Makiki Forest Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Prince Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic room with a super spacious bathroom. Our favorite part of the room was the window! Staff was helpful looking for activities and asking questions about the island. The infinity pool and hot tub were both phenomenal, we used them a few different nights. We didn’t order any room service, not sure if they do have it, but I know they only have the single small cafe in the lobby as far as food choices. I would recommend it to someone looking for the Honolulu resort experience!"

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

10/10 Excellent

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This place is located right on the right location, their Staff is very professional and friendly. The rooms are clean and kept well organized. The pool Staff were very attentive, kept an eye around the pools to keep all of us saved. They were super friendly, one day I stayed away from the pool and the Staff remembered me when I showed up two days later, they were so happy to see me, I felt so special, thank you Staff. I also want to thank Mark, at front desk, he made me smile, he probably read my nervousness (if there is such a word) since I was vacationing by myself. Recommended, for sure 💯 % Definitely will visit again, thank you"
