Top Magic Island Hotel Reviews

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Good value for this part of town. Helpful staff, with nearby shopping and beachside within walking distance. Rooms are nice, and good quality for this price range."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was helpful but not a variety. Same things everyday with a small change. Location was pretty good. 10 minute walk from most places. Pool was usually busy and was closed the day we tried to go due to a "photo shoot" . We did get a room upgrade to a partial ocean view which was nice but wind was very noisy in our room when a/c was shut off. Can't help wind but no sound buffering."

Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai

10/10 Excellent

"I like that it has a full kitchen. Save a little of money goes a long way. It is older model. Close to Walmart and Food land. 15-20 mins walk. Close to the beach. The restaurants, downstairs called Menehune grills and Hawaiian Aroma Cafe have a great food. Reasonable price. The bus stop is just outside the front entrance. I had a great time. I will come back again. ❤️"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, great pools, beautiful ocean views, and very helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay."

Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We upgraded to an ocean view and the view was spectacular! We took advantage of the free shuttle to Waikiki and it dropped us off across from the Hyatt Regency - about a 10 minute ride from the hotel. We then were able to ride back 2 hours later. A nice perk to staying at this hotel. We also enjoyed being near the Ala Moana shopping center. The nearby Ala Moana Regional park was perfect for morning runs. Our room was clean and quiet. We had a wonderful stay!"
