Top Magic Island Hotel Reviews

Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is older but has been kept up. Recommend getting the oceanview rooms, the city view was noisy from outside traffic and people. Do not recommend eating from the Grille, it's not good food. Overall, I would recommend the hotel but just have realistic expectations."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Room was on the 31st floor - loved the view of Waikiki! Here for our wedding/honeymoon and so glad we stayed here - was perfect for us. Parking was steep but I guess that is just the way it is in Waikiki - the access was great with in and out made super easy - 2 different entrances that both recognize your car so it’s seamless. Housekeeping very attentive. Negative edge pool was pretty cool although spaces next to the pool might be hard to come by. There is a huge deck with chairs and couches very close to relax at. Workout room was pretty decent - kept at a good temperature and a variety of machines and dumbbell options - nice separate classroom that they do yoga classes in but that you can use when classes aren’t happening with it’s own set of dumbbells. Didn’t do any dining or spa on property as it is such a short walk to so many other options so no insight there. Great experience overall."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Good location"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Staff were amazing. The pool was dirty and needs maintenance on the tiles-many were broken off. But my biggest complaint is the r elevator system. There are not enough elevators and the system assigns elevators not knowing how many people are going to that floor so after waiting 5-10 minutes each time-the elevator is jam packed. A security guard showed us the service elevator so we used those the 2nd half of the stay and it made all the difference."

Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful"

Prince Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Property was well maintained Not their issue, but the Marina side filthy. Abandoned boats. Saw some rats climing around. I understand storm debris."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"Breakfast had a decent assortment. The breakfast staff were very friendly and attentive. The parking was a bit over priced but thats common for Hawaii so I don’t blame the hotel just be ready to spend 50 a night. The games -dominoes, mini golf, ring toss were great. Get snacks/drinks at the abc store across the street if possible. I spent 14 dollars on two sofas and a pack of starburst. Rooms were smaller than expected but clean and comfy. Was a good stay for what we were doing the breakfast made it worth it for sure."

Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent customer service, clean room, beautiful property,"

Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for our honeymoon. Close walk to town and great and friendly staff!! Enjoyed our time and would suggest staying here"
