"Liked the location, walking distance to beach. Very clean room."

The Twin Fin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view and great hotel."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

"The aquarium. We like it coz its so close to the beach"

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything!"

Waikiki Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the shower was a little small (would recommend to get rid of the tub and do a ceramic shower only) the fitness room needs AC (too hot in there) and it's too small and can only accommodate 2 people. The treadmill didn't work. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the host were also very friendly and polite. We liked the location, being so close to Waikiki beach, shopping plaza and many great restaurants. The pool water was too cold to use, I would recommend heating so that guest can use it even if it's not great weather or in the evening. Overall I think we paid a little too much for our stay but it was comfortable and in a great location"

Center of Kailua Bay! Licensed Beach Front Rental #1990/NUC-1774,1775

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: A dream of our ours since the day we retired - the entire family together in a beautiful non-stress environment - Ohana! Delicious meals and laughter and togetherness come so rarely in the busy lives we all lead -- Kailuana was the perfect setting. A big Mahalo! to Private Homes Hawai'i for making this dream a reality. Throughout the booking process they were so helpful and understanding. Mahalo Barbea, Steven and Patty for reaching out to help us better prepare for this once in a lifetime family vacation. Mahalo!"

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Hilton Waikiki Resort & Spa for 9 nights in October. We were happy to get a good deal given our trip was in October. Overall, our interactions with the staff including housekeeping, front desk, valet, and staff responding to text messages were all very positive and helpful. Everyone offered to help promptly. We had a room with a beautiful ocean view from the 35th floor. For a Hilton, I think that the furniture in the room could have been in better condition such as the main cabinet in the guest room. The closet was in the bathroom which made getting clothes in and out a bit more tricky given it is tight near the bathroom entrance. If there were more hooks on the wall to hang up towels or clothes, that would have been very helpful given that surface space to put stuff down on was also limited. We didn't have time to use the pool and hot tub during our stay, but the deck was beautiful especially at night with the fire pits. We did enjoy having mini golf on the deck. We used the gym a few times and found it to be well-equipped. Tip: the water from the water bottle filler in the gym is the coldest compared to the one on the main floor and 10th floor (on the deck). It was wonderful to be able to refill our water bottles and not waste water bottles. It would have been nice to have a separate recycling bin in the guestroom. On the 9th floor, there is a microwave and laundry facilities which was very helpful. Overall, I would stay here again if there was a good deal"

Less than 1 min walk to Kailua Beach- NUC#1990/NUC-1760

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful spot in Kailua! Stayed here for the first portion of our honeymoon and it was great - we rode the bikes to Lanikai beach every day. Great location for easy beach access and a quick drive into town with so many great local businesses nearby. Property was spotless and hosts were responsive when we had questions. Would absolutely stay here again!"

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: Super clean and well supplied with amenities, eg beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. Pretty much all we needed. Steps to the sand and water. Alia was available and responsive to our needs - when the microwave crashed, we had a replacement in a couple hours. She made a trip to deliver a new Brita filter even tho I offered to get one."
