Of all the places in Waikiki I could have picked to stay at, I made the mistake of choosing this hotel. The rooms were gross, the furniture was stained beyond belief, I had to put a towel down on the couch before I sat on the crusty cushions. Security is a joke, my car and another were broken into in the hotel parking garage and the "guard" had no clue it happened and provided barely any help. The rooms were not cleaned during our stay because of covid, even though every other hotel was still providing maid service although they did take out the trash if you left it outside of your room. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone and I will never stay anywhere near this place if I ever return to Waikiki.

This hotel is affordable and clean and staff are helpful! It’s small and doesn’t have many amenities, but we were just looking for a place to sleep and rest as we spent the days out exploring the island. If you’re looking for amenities or a fancy place to stay this is not for you, but if you need a good and affordable place to stay this is a great choice!

Amazing experience. Nicole at the front and the house keeping staff were wonderful. The bed, linens, towels, and pillows were so relaxing. The AC was a welcome relief with an economical feature. No issues with WiFi or cable. Also the pool and lounge area is great. Close to a lot of things in Waikiki and walking distance. Service was good.

Maria and her team where so great, people don't realize this is a condo hotel, and most of the properties have different owners, my first week i book tru expedia a studio, and i pay more fees, the place was good, but the second week i did the reservation tru the front desk and i got a better room and great view.. location is great, i love this area of Waikiki easy to walk everywhere.

This is a so called "budget" hotel, but dont be fooled. They will tack on hidden cleaning charges and damage waiver fees is no longer is a budget hotel. You're better off staying at one of the Marriott resorts, they were cheaper and better rooms. Not to mention the rooms were old and falling apart and the couches all had nasty stains. Nice staff though.

My fiancé and I stayed here for our trip to Waikiki in June. Our entire experience was wonderful and we enjoyed our stay. The garden, pool, and pond in the lobby is adorable, the guest service agents were all beyond helpful, housekeeping was amazing, the room was great (especially that tub!), and the location was convenient for everything in Waikiki. We often just walked everywhere! We would stay here again next time we visit!

The Aqua Oasis is a clean, well positioned hotel which allows a visitor to easily enjoy the Waikiki scene at more affordable prices. We found the staff to be uniformly friendly and helpful. Rooms were reasonably sized and the beds were comfortable. All in all, great value for the money!. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

Btex127 (Austin, Texas) 07/10/2021

Lets get the negative out of the way. The hotel is a bit dated and could use a refreshing. Now for the positives. The staff is amazing. Each and every person we encountered did a great job. The hotel is very clean and while dated the rooms are comfortable. Do use their chairs and towels for the beach. The breakfast is simple but well worth it. They have a washer and dryer and will store your luggage for a later flight. They will arrange for a taxi to airport for $35, and yes it is worth it. The location is great. It is about 1/2 mile to beach but right on major shopping and in very easy access to public transportation.

I been to 8 hotels in the last 3 years, and this one had the worst mattresses. I stayed there for 5 days and back pain became a thing. I'm in my 30s. Location is great, best location in the City. Everything else was acceptable besides the mattresses. If I charged 2000 per week , I would make sure I had the most expensive mattresses in the room; they went cheap on the mattresses.

I’ve been staying in different hotels around Waikiki for the past month and the Aqua Oasis has by far the most friendly, professional, and efficient desk workers I’ve ever encountered. Rachel and Renee are stand outs who helped my check ins feel less like a task and more like a pleasant experience! They’re absolutely phenomenal at what they do, and their helpfulness and general positive attitudes are definitely the main reason I decided to book more nights here at the Aqua Oasis!

raisa132 07/30/2021

The room had cockroach , the fridge didn’t work for one day . Hotel quality was alright nothing special about it. Even thought the front desk help me and did the best to keep my stay good I wouldn’t recommend the hotel .

elizabethzZ6944EQ 07/29/2021

This hotel is one of the worst I have ever stayed at. It was sooo bad, that I left after the first night and booked next door at the Ramada - which compared to the Aqua Palm deserves 10 stares! The floors were slanted, light shades cracked, and the bathtub was peeling. No handrails. As far as a "kitchenette" you do get a mini fridge and microwave - but the sponge and dish soup are in the bathroom. Front desk is friendly, entrance lobby looks nice, but there is a smell that permeates. Elevators are more than slow, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to finally get one - even late at night. Positive: the ice machine worked

momonthemove16 (Honolulu, Hawaii) 07/28/2021

The staff is wonderful and we loved our room. Pool, though small, is nicely warm. It is a good deal for Waikiki. However, be aware that the elevators are very slow, the parking structure is hard to use (very steep ramps and tight turns), and they are being stricter about limiting pool time and housekeeping services than some other Waikiki properties. If you want a good room with friendly staff for a decent price and can deal with the challenges, this may be a good choice for you.

tkalima808 (Pearl City, Hawaii) 07/07/2021

Me & my Ohana stayed for the the 4th of July weekend! Upon arriving, check in was so fast & efficient. They accommodated us with rooms right across of each other. From the maintenance workers to front desk staff they all showed ALOHA! Super polite & professional! Mahalo for an awesome experience!

kaylitrujillo (Livermore, California) 07/03/2021

I must preface this review by saying I was at a separate hotel prior and wanted to stay somewhere less expensive the last night since the previous was paid for my business and this one was on me. I did a lot of googling and looked at a lot of reviews before I made my decision to book with aqua palms. Seems like a pretty standard hotel. to just stay there but the cancellation policy at aqua palms was 72 hours and I had only made the reservation less than 72 hours prior because this was a last minute trip. I understand cancellation policies and so I tried to work with them on it but ultimately decided to extend my stay one more night so that I could get use from the hotel since they were going to charge me $170 for canceling. Again, this is standard and this was my bad , as a hairdresser I know about last minute cancellations because you can’t get other people in last minute. My flight was free to change so it was really no problem. When I arrived it seemed that this hotel was more of in a semi industrial area or just surrounded by lots of other hotels and buildings. That’s no problem I can walk to where I need to get. Upon entering, the place was so much darker than in the picture and I just thought OK maybe their lights are going out or something. Once I got to the elevator it didn’t have any buttons, OK not that big of a deal but kind of weird. I waited and made it up to my floor which was even darker than the lobby. I was traveling alone and so after being outdoors where it is so bright and cheery in Hawaii This just felt so out of place. And honestly creeped me out. I didn’t really want to be in there so I dropped off my things and left immediately to go explore, I asked some gentleman who worked there if they knew where the pool was and they said that they thought there was a pool but they weren’t sure where it was. I checked several floors and couldn’t find it but ultimately stopped caring and left to the beach. It was probably about a 15 minute walk to get to any water which was fine. I went back to the hotel as late as possible so that I only had to sleep there. I took a shower and realized soon after I got in that there was no liner in the shower so it flooded the bathroom. They also gave me a DVD card to rent from the box downstairs but there was no DVD player. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here alone again or possibly at all. They charged me an amenity fee the next day but for what? And the cancellation fee seemed too strict after all.

josephchar134 (Honolulu, Hawaii) 07/30/2021

the only reason why i didnt give this an excellent rating was because of the parking lot attendants. they made me pay for my parking and after i did they harassed me said i didnt pay. they almost didnt even let me out of the parking lot!!!! for what, i dont know i paid $65 for parking!!

dominiquetwright2018 (Wahiawa, Hawaii) 07/10/2021

We stayed in a 1 bedroom ocean view that was absolutely wonderful. The living room area was perfect for the children. The location is great. We could walk everywhere. The staff is hands down excellent!

201jasmyneh 06/26/2021

From the moment we arrived to the second we left Jaime treated us with such a level of care and respect that it tears us that we have to leave him and the hotel. He made sure our first stay here in Hawaii feel as if it was home and we’ll always be thankful for that. Thank you Jaime! We’ll see you on Halloween 🎃👻 Best, Josh & Jasmyne

rharnett2021 (Woodbridge, Virginia) 06/04/2021

Aqua Skyline at Island Colony is a great location and great people that work there. Can't wait to come again when COVID is totally over to see it at its full potential. I enjoyed my stay. Thanks to all.

mickymickency75 (Honolulu, Hawaii) 05/18/2021

The service is very good and helpful to there customers especially the pool and the bbq on the six floor very comfortable and convenient, And thanks to aqua sky line for the good service they give us during our vacation

My sister and I stayed here to celebrate my 50th birthday Pros: Great value for price!!! This little no-frills gem is super close to Waikiki Beach and has 5 AMAZING food trucks right outside your door. There's no bells & whistles or pool, but that's exactly what I wanted...somewhere clean and safe to keep our stuff while we explored Oahu for the first time. One perk that is included (that we really enjoyed): you can show your room key at the Honolulu Museum of Art and get free admission..its $20 otherwise Con: We had to be moved twice during my stay because in one room, there was no hot water in the shower and in another room, the air conditioning unit was malfunctioning and leaking water. Maintenance of rooms needs to be improved. Other than that, we had a fantastic stay. All staff were friendly, helpful and responsive to requests. We were provided with an upgraded room once we had to move a 2nd time. I would recommend to others to stay here. Check their website for deals/coupons

Many thank you's and appreciation to Tracy, Evan, Maryknoll and housekeeping!!! You all Rock!!! My stay at Ewa hotel... better then Hawaii Prince or Hilton!! Its the people like Tracy,Evan and Maryknoll that makes you feel like million bucks... I am Very impressed local!!! I'll see you soon!! N.Hylton

bebelopez13 (Seattle, Washington) 05/30/2021

Everything was amazing, staff was always there to help and cost of stay is definitely affordable. If you’re looking for a place to stay without killing your budget, this is the right place for you and your loved ones.

0Poinsettia 05/29/2021

Good hotel for budget minded guest who only needs a comfy bed and limited services. Staff was very friendly and as helpful as possible though covid is still causing limited staffing and services. Great location!

calebscoggins (Honolulu, Hawaii) 05/26/2021

Just wish we would of got what we paid for and no hassles was looking forward to a nice stay and just wanted to spend our anniversary together and have a nice relaxing time instead had to sleep on two twin beds pushed together with a huge hump in the middle and had to plunge the toilet every single time

mireyamurillo84 07/29/2021

Location was perfect, close to the mall, restaurants, not far at all from Waikiki beach, the perfect view to the beach. Room was updated and the stay was simply perfect. Staff was very friendly and professional.

TLey1 07/16/2021

Just the fact that there was still hair on our shower walls, it didn’t seem too secure being that anyone and everyone could come in and out of the elevators/hotel pools, cinnamons was closed on the 2 days we were there. We weren’t able to do late check out, and we had a loud wake up knock by security at 7am because they had pest control that day we were checking out

S_Dakota_Family (Rapid City, South Dakota) 07/11/2021

We had reservations at another property. Upon check in it was a complete disappointment. TV and WiFi didn’t work. Room was dirty and outdated. Checked out next day and got room for 13 nights at the Ilikai. It exceeded expectations. Great room, view, location. Staff was great. We are planning to go back. Thank you!!!

LightPacker239895 07/06/2021

We stayed for a week, and had the best time. I would have love to have daily housekeeping, however due to COVID that was not an option. However, they hotel does provide everything you need upon request.

Ruth B (Seattle, Washington) 07/05/2021

My friend and I stayed in suite # 2118 for a week. The room had two double beds, living room with couch and TV, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom, and free wifi. We also enjoyed the huge balcony with an amazing view of the ocean and Duke Kahanamoku lagoon (in front of the Hilton). Just off the main Waikiki strip (walking distance), it was a great location, minutes to the beach and minutes to Kalakaua Ave. This facility also has two pools, one on the ground/lobby level, and one on the second floor that's great for sunbathing. There's a coffee shop, restaurant and delicious ice cream from Dave's Ice Cream... which we patronized EVERY DAY :) Highly recommend this location for its value.

claudio217 (Rancho Cucamonga, California) 07/25/2021

we speck a better service based on our charges, breakfast credit of $40 dollars should be good at lease for two days breakfast not for only one day. we have problems more than one time with the card key of room door to open , not daily cleaning of the room, not rush response when we request service to the room, incomplete staff in the room .

shankybanky21 07/08/2021

The only thing was that it wasn’t that close to the beach but other than that it’s a nice hotel with a nice ocean view nice atmosphere and close to the strip mall the bathtub didn’t work but once reported they came fast and fixed it

sdbctb (Brooklyn, New York) 07/06/2021

Nice property a short walk from the beach with city view also having the mountains in the background. overall with the porch table and kitchenette in the room we booked it with cannot complain. The resort fee seemed overkill with not much being used from it and still being charged. Thankfully we didn't rent a car otherwise parking is very expensive here.

KiaP321 (Los Angeles, California) 07/03/2021

Great location and friendly staff. Room was very nice with kitchen that had a toaster oven, blender, and large mini fridge. Great size of fridge to keep your groceries in. There is no bar and the cafe/store is only open until 2pm. But the beauty is there’s an ABC store right across the street that sales everything you need! We stocked up on our snacks and liquor and we were set! A nice 7 minute walk to Waikiki beach, which is beautiful! And you are right at the start of the downtown Waikiki strip. So no need to drive if you are staying in the area. We rented a car to explore the island. Valet was very nice. $35 a day for parking. Pool is nice and upstairs so sort of feels rooftop-ish. We made blended drinks in our room and brought them down each day. We will definitely stay here again!

Lourdes532021 (Pembroke Pines, Florida) 07/02/2021

Since our arrival , we felt a warm special reception from all the staff of the hotel. They are professional, kind, and friendly. They are always helpful with suggestions and directions for places to visit or shop. The hotel is attractive and well-located. I love its decoration because it is very Hawaiian! Thank you to all the staff for their dedication and professionalism!

bbrant2021 07/18/2021

Friendly convenient good value Needs attention to small details to vastly improve: mold off shower head, better beds, cloth shower curtains. Could easily modernize facility Cant beat aloha and service.

Alma4021 (Kauai, Hawaii) 07/15/2021

Room 361 are Outdated. Like the Carpet is clean I’m sure it just you can tell it’s Time to change coz when you step on it stick on your sole the very old carpet and smell too. The faucet, sink, toilet bowl, tables/chairs, refrigerator uneven. Location wise I like it you can walk 5 minutes away to Ala Moana Mall, Walmart and Waikiki like Red Lobster about 10 minutes. I like it. Overall Cleanliness are Great!

orig7457 07/13/2021

gave comments in previous question. please refer to them. overall we will recommend this hotel stay to our family and friends. highly recommend that the restuarant open again for future stay. And, your shuttle to the airport would be highly used too.

sundog882021 (Honolulu, Hawaii) 07/09/2021

Love and respect is shown by all staff and close to other businesses. They provide options for dining or Cary out. There is a nice pool on site and you are able to rent some of new trending movies that came out this year. You also have a beautiful view over looking down town with a peak of the ocean!

AngelComments 07/09/2021

Pagoda Hotel is a good quality, comfortable, clean, and convenient Kamaaina hotel. It may not be a beachfront resort, but it does't have to be: It is a nice place to serve as a base for visiting family, for touring the island, and for going back and forth to the beach.
