City and partially ocean view from room 4204. Location is excellently my fav udon shop is around the corner. Starbuck for the ones who love it 2 minute walk and the a max 10 min walk to the beach. Love the high rise. 6th floor has a pool with a few cabanas, washing machine, bbq, gym and wrap around the building chill area. Room could be a little bit more cleaner. Windows, vent in the bathroom, and corners of the bed next to the mattress are bit dusty. Washing dishes in the sink in the shower is a bit 🙄. Staff very nice. 7/10

This place was absolutely terrible!!! Checked in with night staff was beyond slow after a 12 hour flight. He was talking about sports with security for about 20 minutes before he decided to help us. We get our keys to the two rooms booked one room was filthy pubes in the shower, uncleaned bedsheets (with brown stain), moldy smell in the room absolutely nasty. After using room keys once I go downstairs to get the rest of my luggage and wait about 15 minutes for the elevator to finally arrive ( This is each way you will wait 15 minutes ). Some time elapsed and I'm outside the room trying to get back into our second room KEY DOES NOT WORK (this is important because I have to ride the elevator 11 more times to finally bring staff up with a working key). I am exhausted at this point and just want to sleep don't have time to find another hotel room at 4am with my whole family. They also took forever bringing up at metal yes metal baby crib. No way would I let my one year old sleep in that thing and possibly get hurt smh. In another note the parking there is a separate company which is equally as terrible. Finally get sleep wake up the next morning and call the hotel front desk to tell them we are checking out early and not staying the rest of the 8 days. He cannot do anything about it as the hotel manager doesn't arrive til 11am. This is unacceptable I contact the third party we booked this through they argued with the hotel and could not so anything either this manager got there. (Will never use hotels.com again after that) I did finally get a refund but only for 7 of the 8 days because we stayed there for a night was in vacation and couldn't waste more time arguing over a couple thousand doallrs since this is a 12k+ vacation as it is. Since I don't want to keep on with my rant here's the low down : Slow elevator Rude night staff / incompetent (minus two employees who were very nice) Horrible parking Dirty room No bellhops Moldy smell Dangerous looking baby crib Extremely unorganized hotel Verdict: wasted two whole vacation days in Hawaii one was the night we stayed here and the second was getting all the stuff repacked and dealing with moving to the Hilton. Who wants to be this stressed out in Hawaii???

This is not what could be considered a "Hotel as such" it is a mix of permanent residents accommodation, hotel style accommodation and Air BnB. In saying this, you are getting accommodation at a cheaper rate. Our room was clean and spacious with a small kitchenette to allow you to self cater. The bathroom was ridiculously small though and the shower head low but overall clean. The front desk staff are helpful but the ridiculous 3pm check in is a joke, especially when your flight gets in at 0600, but this seems the norm in Honolulu. Would recommend you book the room for the day before if your flight lands early. They did allow us to store our luggage during the day, allowing us to explore Waikiki. The bed was a king size but I found it along with the pillows, firm, but that is an individual thing. Aqua Skyline is ideally located being within 2 minute walk of places to eat and drink. There is a convenience store located on site which is a bonus along with a cafe in the lobby, be warned though, it's expensive. Car rental available on site and parking which is also expensive, park on the upper levels as the car parks are tiny on the first level and we came across numerous guests unable to get out as their vehicles were boxed in by bigger cars and pickups. Ask for a room facing the golf course and higher up as the noise is horendous in Waikiki. The pool and Jacuzzi were nice and towels were available at the pool, you could also get towels from the front desk if you were wanting to go the beach which is about a 10 minute walk. I don't think asking guests to pay a $25 USD resort fee is fair, considering we weren't able to use any of the facilities on the first day and last day considering we couldn't get into our room until after 3pm and were picked up at 0400 to catch our flight home. Would we stay here again? Well that would depend if I ever returned to Hawaii which I probably wouldn't, I found it to be overpriced, noisy and to be honest I could find 20 beaches in Victoria that are as good, if not better than any l had seen in Oahu never mind any number of beaches in Queensland that in my opinion are better. If I was to return though I would probably stay at the Aqua Skyline Island Colony for its price and location, if you are wanting that full hotel experience though were someone takes your bags to your room, room service etc, this is not the place for you. Hope this review helps you in making your decision.

Worst hotel that we’ve stayed in. Dirty, cockroaches and garbage chute on every floor. The pictures are deceiving, does not look anything like it. If you stay at this sub standard hotel, your holiday will be ruined.

Loved Island Colony, location was amazing. Our suite was exactly what was in pictures proviced. Only downfall was the lack of sound proofing in the building. We could hear the neighbours music/tv/even talking. It's on a very busy street as well so we could hear the traffic like we were sleeping on the street even with a condo on the 40th floor :(
