TLA IN PARADISE - PCS-ING SOON!

AlexWebb69 07/15/2021

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.

Charlie S (North Scituate, RI) 07/12/2021

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.

robfJ1005RB 07/06/2021

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!

cherylbanks2021 (Honolulu, Hawaii) 07/02/2021

What an aewsome place to get away from the daily grind and do something that felt normal again. Staff was awesome stayed it a sweet with kitchen. Room was beautiful and very clean . And the complimentary breakfast was perfect. I definitely recommend this little gem .

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.

donmatsumoto58 06/01/2021

great loacation ,,quiet atmosphere..centralized in the Ala Moana area where it suits my needs in regards to each visit to Honolulu.. The staff is very accomadating, have great communication skills .The rooms are clean and very relaxing through out my stay.

koadread67 05/22/2021

Looking forward staying at Aqua Palms in the near future if there’s a room available for me! I will be traveling a lot and I am happy there is a place like Aqua Palms please keep up the great Work hotel employees thank you very much!!!

RSOblio 05/20/2021

My wife and I have stayed at many different properties in Waikiki and for a variety of occasions. This was our third time staying at Aqua Palms and we chose this property again, for several reasons. First of all, we knew the location provides for ease of access in and out of Waikiki, and we knew we would be coming and going quite often. It is also an easy walk to Ala Moana for those who may be visiting there, as well as to all the restaurants and shopping in Waikiki proper. What we were pleasantly surprised to find was that the rooms had been redone since our last visit and offered crisp, clean and comfortable new accommodations at a great value. The staff were super friendly, sharing that Aloha spirit we all wish to experience when travelling through Hawai'i. We had one issue upon arrival; the A/C did not seem to be working properly when we first entered the room. We contacted the front office and a maintenance engineer was knocking on our door within 5 minutes and the issue was resolved in less than 20 minutes. THAT is speedy service. In short, Aqua Palms is a great little property with wonderful staff, easy access, ample parking, great value and it is at the proper end of Waikiki for those who want to come and go easily and experience other parts of the city and the island. Mahalo Aqua Palms team!

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

SM B (Orange County, California) 04/08/2021

The property needs some upgrading work. The A/C in our room 2319 was cranking so loud at night that we cannot sleep. We requested to be moved to another room, and we were given room 4318. This room's A/C is not as loud as the one in room 2319, but it is leaking water from the condenser in the patio that I almost slipped. The water also sipped through the carpet, but I found out about it when we are about to check-out already. The bathroom exhaust fan in this room is cranking loud like a steam boat and can really be a nuisance. Thankfully, it is turned off when not in use - unlike the A/C that has to be turned on all day long. Staff are friendly.

noshakimo66 (Waianae, Hawaii) 07/14/2021

Will be back to stay here again in the near future for sure!! This was the best location i could find near the the event i was attending and was i glad to find it! This was the second time visit and both was excellent stay!! Would definilely recommend to friends and family... thanks again! NTR

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

I used to stay here a lot before, but haven't been here in about a decade. I understand it's COVID but the cost-cutting changes they've made to the rooms are not beneficial to guest comfort and satisfaction. For instance, the headboard is sized for a king-sized bed but the actual bed is the size of a double or queen; also, the room I had lacked a couch so since the bed was so small and I was with a friend, we had to get a rollaway bed for an extra $15/nt. On a high note, the front desk staff was very nice and helped us to get our rooms near each other like we requested.

Amber M (West Covina, California) 06/25/2021

The staff was great and helped us check in early around 1pm. We had called ahead of time to see if that was an option. We were told our room would be ready around 12pm so we headed there from our first room in Waikiki. Our room wasn’t quite ready when we got there at 12pm, but the staff checked out bags and kept them safe for us and we grabbed some lunch while we waited. We got in our room around 1pm, which was still earlier than the original 3pm check in so we were happy. The room was beautiful and so was the view. My only thing I didn’t like was the elevator situation. You needed a key to make it operate so that was a bit difficult to do with our hands full, and only 3 people were allowed in at a time due to Covid so it took a while to get up and down cus we had to wait. Also the pool was outside and you had to go through a security guard to get in and it was a little walk away. I did enjoy the jetted tub, and only wish it were larger.

zuritacedeno 05/22/2021

I would definitely stay at the Aston again, the rooms are spacious, clean and have the convenience of a basic kitchen. The area the Hotel is in canoe challenging since is in the middle of downtown, the room decoration is a bit outdated and the car parking very convenient.

skipout41 (Rancho Cucamonga, California) 05/14/2021

The room was a little dated but spacious and had an amazing view. Close to restaurants and food places. Great location but the homeless people yelling at night was a little annoying but that’s not the fault of Aston.

TwoTravelors (Rancho Cucamonga, California) 07/22/2021

Booked online, pictures great. arrived room not what we paid, false advertisement. Recep unable to accommodate, 5 people in a 1 bedroom, 1 bed provided a roll away, table with 3 chairs, look elsewhere

funplace (Gridley, California) 07/18/2021

Unit 2101-1 Check-in was fine. Room is dated, fine. Head to bed at night, bed is rock hard springs sticking out of the pull out. Housekeeping was kind enough to bring mattress toppers, better but not great for 10 days. Internet is horrible! My biggest issue has been no housekeeping. We have trash running over in the bathroom. Towels all over the floor. Have had to call the desk for towels and toilet paper every 2-3 days. Called the desk they said housekeeping is every 3-4 days, which it hasn't been. They have cleaned our room ONE time in 10 days!!!! I understand it's because of Covid, but if no housekeeping at least leave supplies for 10 days(garbage bags, toilet paper, towels, etc). The room is VERY dated. Stains on carpet, holes in curtains, curtains don't shut all the way, stove looks and sounds like it's from the 70’s. Artwork is faded. Pillows need replaced. Kitchen supplies are very limited. Front desk has been kind and helpful. William in security has been very nice and helpful. I don't need a fancy room, just clean and comfy, which this room has not been. It's not felt like much of a vacation space! We've had no issues with parking besides the spaces are a bit small.

scsharp2021 07/16/2021

Staff was amazing, the state of the rooms was not. There were stains, it had not been cleaned very well. and it was just overall not up to par with what we had been expecting. Staff was super nice and helpful though. The hotel just needs some major reno

ReeceVu2021 (Dallas, Texas) 07/15/2021

OK hotel. Just close to the beach is a plus. Nothing else. Research for other hotels or condos before looking at this condo. Would NOT likely to come back unless major RENOVATION is done to both towers.

TravelMomWith2Kids (San Francisco, CA) 07/15/2021

ROOM: Our 1 br/1 bath rental on the 24th floor of tower 2 wasn’t anything fancy, but it served us well. Full kitchen included so we can fry our SPAM for breakfast. Nice deck with beautiful mountain view. I opened up the curtains every morning & drank coffee on the lanai. OUTDOOR POOL: 6th floor, swam almost every morning. Big area with bbq pits. Gets breezy here late afternoon. WASHER/DRYER room at the end of every floor (need coins). COFFEE SHOP & MINI-MART in lobby level. These were a great convenience!! SURROUNDINGS: ABC stores and Starbucks very close by as well as numerous restaurants. Recommend food truck 2 blocks away on Kuhio. BEACH: 5 MIN WALK!!! STAFF: extremely friendly and helpful!! Looking forward to staying here again.

509debr 06/12/2021

The room is small... very much reminds me of a cabin in a cruise ship. There is no lobby, just someone making a desk at the entrance of the street. The main hallways need to be repainted and cleaned. But the view!!! Wow.

bosoxpride101 (Fremont, California) 06/01/2021

This was the 2nd of our two hotels in Waikiki during our 1 week stay. Hotel #1 (outrigger beachcomber) for its convenience to food & shopping; hotel #2 (Waikiki Circle) strictly for its beach front location. Its an older hotel that offers little in luxuries & comforts but more than made up for it by its prime locale. We pre-booked the most expensive ocean front room 2 months in advance, but at the check in the gentleman wanted to put us on 4th floor which will only have a tree top view of Waikiki. He offered to put us on upper floor if we pony up extra $25 per night. Why am I always the victim of unscrupulous practices? sigh.... Anyways we decided to pay and was upgrade to 12th floor. There was also a resort fee ($25 + 1.18 + 2.56, daily). For a small hotel without any gym, pool or other facilities I don't think that was justified. The moment we entered the room we knew it was prob worth the $25/night ransom. From the entrance alone we already had an unobstructed view of the blue Pacific. Perched from the balcony the view was even more stunning: to the south stood the imposing Diamond Head, to the north the iconic Moana Surfrider hotel, Kalakaua ave (Waikiki main strip) was right beneath us. Right in-front of our hotel is the Waikiki beach & Duke's statue, literally a Brady to Gronk TD throw away. Everyday we sat on the balcony and listened to the sounds of the sea, watching surfers riding the waves Sunset was magnificent as we faced almost directly toward the West, even in the morning and during the day the sight and sounds were fabulous. Even if they charged us $50 extra per day we would have gladly oblige, will even throw in our dwarf hamster Sophia on top. The room was dated and had that 1970's vibe: old decor, small bathroom, tiny shower with lukewarm water & anemic pressure. On the positive side it has a Keurig maker and most importantly a safety box. The queen beds were comfy, pillow were not overly fluffy but adequate . They were low profiles so more ideal for my bad back. Daily newspaper was delivered to the door, beach towels are avail upon request, ice machine down stairs but no water station. There is no lobby, 1 gentleman in the booth next to the elevators handles all transactions & interactions. They are probably the descendants of Mrs Kwok the original founder. Next door there is McDonald , egg & things is affiliated with hotel but guests enjoy 10% discount by showing hotel card. If you venture 1 block to the east you will find a hidden gem called "Mac", it has no line & far superior food. We ate most of the time in places further up North near our hotel #1, around Inter Market & Royal Hawaiian Center. Overall we had a pleasant stay & would def consider returning for its prime beach front location.

kubes11 (Mankato, Minnesota) 05/29/2021

Small but nice, clean hotel. Staff very friendly. Right across from the beach. In the process of putting in new glass balconies, which look great. They replaced the blackout drapes with a shuttered slider, which looks nice but doesn't keep out much light. You might want to bring a sleep mask if you don't want to wake up early.

slj (Baltimore, Maryland) 05/25/2021

I have stayed at this hotel 4 times and I can't wait to return. An oceanfront room is a view of Heaven. The hotel is very clean, very cute and the staff are friendly and helpful. (Thank you again Shawn!) The location is amazing. The elevators work great. (after some of the hotels I have stayed at, that does rate a special note) At night we enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the people down on Kalakaua Ave, and listening to the waves crashing across the street. The parking garage is very small and very limited but 'TheBus' and trolley stop across the street, if you don't have a car. If you want a foo-foo hotel this isn't it. If you want a beautiful, clean, comfortable and relaxing hotel with a perfect location, this is for you.

sophia4230 (New York City, New York) 05/24/2021

This property has so much potential - it's in a prime location on Waikiki beach and compared to its neighbors, they offer the best price. But unfortunately, in the time of pandemic (esp the time we visited), we did not feel that our room was cleaned thoroughly. It was a dingy looking room. I wiped everything down myself with sanitizing wipes which I brought. I immediately made a complaint through the front desk and through Expedia and the answer I received was quite a nonchalant one. I requested for 2 extra sheets just so I could place it on top of the bed bec it really felt unsanitary. The next morning I requested to be moved to another room which they did. This room on the 10th floor was definitely better but that NEXT LEVEL clean they speak of - you just don't feel it. Maybe it's the tired looking interiors & carpeting but there is work to do to make this hotel a lot better than what it is now. Last thing, no one ever mentioned renovations happening and one morning, this is all we heard. DRILLING. We literally had to get out of our room to avoid getting a headache from the noise. I have the video documenting the noise level but I can't upload it here. Hotels need to be more transparent about renovations bec this impacts a guest's stay 100%. Regarding the resort fee that all Waikiki hotels charge, theirs may be one of the lowest but it covers nothing like other hotels. Their fee covered wifi, safe & a newspaper - all of which come standard at most hotels (resort or not!).

TexanBoy2 (Dallas, Texas) 07/16/2021

We stayed at Aston Waikiki Sunset for 2 weeks with family of 4 including a teen. Deluxe one bedroom with the view of ocean and diamond head was wonderful. Full kitchen with pots, pans and utensils were super plus. View of ocean while cooking and eating is like having BBQ at the beach everyday! Morning tea and evening drink at the lanai was pleasant. Deluxe room is big enough for 6 people (including 2 people can sleep on sofa-bed). Walking to beach is only 5 to 7 minutes. We frequented to the beaches. Hotel provides enough towels and you need not to worry. Yes, there are some occasional noises from plumbing work in the building but it didn't bother us. After all, we are not in the room all the time! We had our rental car since we traveled solo by ourselves and we didn't use any tour service. There is $25 per day parking fee in attached garage with multiple ins and outs. It's managed by an independent company but guarantees parking for the hotel guests. Room services are curtailed due to COVID-19 but we always got the supplies when we needed them. Laundry is at every floor and we used it with Clean Mobile app. I had to put dispose trash everyday. It's on the same floor and I didn't mind due to pandemic as I do same at my own home. Overall, I would give Aston Waikiki Sunset 5 out of 5.

gree12345 (Bemidji, Minnesota) 07/09/2021

Pros: Great security. Close walk to the beach, zoo and restraunts. Great view. Room was sufficient but rather dated. Cons: Pool is not available for guests unless you sign up and make an appointment through an outside agency and limited to a group of 5 so our family could not go to the pool together. No house keeping. Parking for an oversized vehicle(pickup) is almost impossible but the p.m. parking attendant was very helpful, not the day person. Getting clean towels or a coffee packet from the front desk should be a stress free thing. It's not. You're attempt is met with grumpiness. My family spent a lot of time in Hawaii and we know this state takes covid 19 very serious, but this place went out of it's way to make you feel paranoid and unwelcome compared to the other hotels we were at.

JWils947 06/26/2021

One elevator locks guests in, I’ve had it happen to me and witnessed others. Rooms were dirty, and when needing something such as new sheets we were met with interrogation and attitude. But, views are nice. Not worth the cost.

alyssat36 06/23/2021

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The place was dirty, there was no housekeeping, the staff was unhelpful, and requests like a crib weren’t fulfilled when agreed. The only thing it has going is a decent location

kaymar2731 (San Diego, California) 06/09/2021

Even though the place was under Construction, Staff still made sure Hotel Guests were comfortable & had everything they needed. There are 38 floors, a Mini mart. And other amenities: Swimming pool, Tennis Courts, Grilling area.

419damali101 (Newark, New Jersey) 07/11/2021

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

82nanii (Honolulu, Hawaii) 06/14/2021

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

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.

2017JB (San Diego, California) 07/02/2021

We stayed in private condo in Ilikai. Happy to report a new non-smoking policy was enacted for anywhere on the grounds or in the rooms. All the rooms have kitchens which makes this resort more desirable for families. I wish the 2nd floor pool and patio area was designated as for “Adults Only” but it’s not (yet). Great location next to Hilton beach and lagoon with yacht harbor adjacent. Fantastic lobby level patio outside area with trees and plants. Good restaurant on site, and handy convenience store that sells just about everything you would need including alcohol. Only valet parking but that’s to be expected in any city setting. Choose your view when booking room and I suggest sunset ocean view and it’s best on high floor. While not a 5-star Resort like Ritz Carlton, I’m giving Ilikai score of 5 because of large rooms with kitchens and balconies as well as for location on the less hectic end of Waikiki.

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!

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!

We came here via Costco Travel recommendation. Great, spacious, comfortable room with a wonderful kitchenette (with toaster oven, blender, and plenty of plates/glasses/utensils/counter space). Sparkling clean, nice lobby and mezzanine, quiet. Efficient valet parking. Very good, convenient location. Breakfast restaurant had outstanding food, pancakes. We would stay here again.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

I can't say enough good things about the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower. It is in a prime location, right across from Waikiki Beach. The staff is top rate and the views from the room are stunning. Would definitely stay here again.

If you’re looking for a great location with magnificent views & the space of an apartment, this is your place. This is not a high-end five-star resort but it’s very adequate, very spacious and honestly the view was about as good as we had experienced while in Hawaii.

I can't say enough about this fantastic hotel and staff. We had a beautiful condo with a million dollar view. The room was spotless and ALL THE STAFF were so warm and welcoming. We were greeted with flowers and leighs. Even the grandkids! We would go back tomorrow!

Great service, great location, great workers, very clean. This is a great place for couples and family. Free parking too. I will definitely recommend this Hotel. You will not get dissapointed. The oceanfront room on the 20th floor was awesome.

The Aston Waikiki Beach Tower is the perfect place to stay for the most relaxing vacation on Waikiki. Located right across from the beach, with a nice pool and patio area for lounging. Close by to restaurants and shopping.

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

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!!!

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.

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.

We stayed in private condo in Ilikai. Happy to report a new non-smoking policy was enacted for anywhere on the grounds or in the rooms. All the rooms have kitchens which makes this resort more desirable for families. I wish the 2nd floor pool and patio area was designated as for “Adults Only” but it’s not (yet). Great location next to Hilton beach and lagoon with yacht harbor adjacent. Fantastic lobby level patio outside area with trees and plants. Good restaurant on site, and handy convenience store that sells just about everything you would need including alcohol. Only valet parking but that’s to be expected in any city setting. Choose your view when booking room and I suggest sunset ocean view and it’s best on high floor. While not a 5-star Resort like Ritz Carlton, I’m giving Ilikai score of 5 because of large rooms with kitchens and balconies as well as for location on the less hectic end of Waikiki.
