Best Hotels near Kualoa Ranch, Honolulu

Great Hotel We stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. This is a bit of a long review but the questions is, would we go back? Absolutely! We really enjoyed our stay here because of the staff, because of the activities they had planned for the guests and the location to get to everywhere we wanted to go. Getting there. It was about a 45 minute drive from the airport that started at about 5pm. It was an easy drive with a lot of great scenic views along the way. Hotel Location - I found the location to be an ideal location for us and our itinerary (Haleiwa town - Matsumoto Shave Ice, the food trucks - Fumi’s,Giovannies and Romy’s, Dole Plantation, Kualoa Ranch, Byodo Temple Inn, Hukilau Market and the Polynesian Cultural Centre) Right off the highway you find yourself located a short walking distance across the front parking lot to get some food at the Hukilau Market at the Polynesian Cultural Centre or McDonald’s), Foodland for groceries and food counter (2 min drive north), a short drive to the North Sore Taco, CVS to get other supplies including beer just a 3-5 min drive south The Bedroom - we stayed in one of the King Suites. This was a large room with lots of space. The main bedroom had plenty of space and storage for clothes and a very comfortable bed.. It also had a couple of chairs that we ultimately used to create a sitting area in the kitchen. the TV in the room was big and worked fine. The Living room had plenty of space and was big. The foldout had a cushion mattress on top and there is a second cushion/mattress in the closet in the bedroom. Using both is a must for a comfortable mattress on the sofa bed. I slept on the sofa bed and was able to get a comfortable good nights sleep. The air conditioner is right beside the bed so if you are a person that does not like the cold, it is something to consider. There was a kitchen area/living room area where we ate and hung out. There were plenty of seats and chairs to accommodate us having some friends over to the room for some dinner and some drinks. The fridge in this room (had a freezer too) was a really good size and much larger than the fridges in the regular rooms. Amenities. The exercise room was on okay size. I did not use it but it did go in to take a look around. The pool and hot tub were great. They had cabanas that you could rent. We did not rent them but I believe it was $20 for a couple of hours. Laundry. They had laundry on site but given our visit was at the beginning of our trip we did not use the facilities. Anything you need for doing laundry can be bought at either Foodland or CVS. Outdoor sitting area. There is a lot of room with lots of seats but very popular for gatherings. Lobby. Very large and comfortable lobby area to gather and relax. Bistro. I did not use the bistro aside from getting a coffee one morning.

This's my first time booking through ”trip” app. I glad i did. Our room is corner views where we got both the view from diamond head and oceanfront. This's the best experience i have. We arrived at the hotel on a Friday night around 7pm Hawaii time. Didn't expect they were doing fireworks around 8pm. I got to see it right from my window view. Omg.....i was breaking in tears where i haven't experience of fireworks this close before. I wish they allow video reviews in here where i can share my recording of the fireworks to you all. My daily views from my room are the best everyday and night throughout our stay. We walked around the beaches, restaurants and stores around the hotel area everynight before bed. Anyway, thank you for the awesome experience and memories. Love it so much and totally recommend.

It is newly decorated in a Japanese style. The fixed seaside view is that the beach is not a full sea view. Most of the Japanese customers also have exclusive services. It is friendly to children. There are children's pools and water play facilities, and there is also an infinity pool with an adult bar. It is great not to disturb each other. There is a Lawson convenience store, an ice cream shop, etc. just below, with complete facilities, it is worth living in!

I booked a room with two beds. There was no microwave and the fridge was very warm, I would not trust leaving food in there overnight. The room was alright although the hallways smelt like **** and there were stains on the carpet floor. Other then that, I enjoyed the view from the 15 floor. The hotel is also right in the middle of Waikiki and there is a trolley stop right across the street from the hotel. ( if you don’t want to pay a huge price for transportation I suggest the Waikiki trolley $10 non stop rides from Waikiki to Ala moana (pink line)

The hotel is in a good location! Located on the edge of Waikiki Beach, 6-8 minutes walk from Alamona Shopping Center. There is a pier in front of the hotel. If you are lucky, you can see turtles in the pier waters while standing in the room (beachfront room type)! There are many Japanese tourists in the hotel and the service is very good! ! The hotel room is large, the hotel is new, and the facilities are good! The disadvantage I personally think is that the swimming pool is small and located on the fifth floor of the hotel, which is a bit useless (everyone goes to the beach to swim, especially the lagoon on the beach near the hotel, the water is very calm, the area is large and the scenery is beautiful), and I don’t know that the hotel charges 47 dollars per day for a resort. What does the fee provide? In addition, the hotel only has two high-rise buildings and does not go directly to the beach. It does not have the same atmosphere as the Hilton resort next to it (the Hilton we stayed at last time)

Stayed here for 1 week,location is great. Right on Waikiki. This hotel doesn’t have its own beach but offers free sitting chairs to bring with you to the beach and towels. Takes 20secs to the beach.Really tall hotel so you can see sunset over the ocean,staff is SUPER friendly. Building is old like all of them on Waikiki,furniture needs updating,mattress is hard but they give you 4 pillows,asked for our room to be freshened up when came back sheets and duvet cover never got changed.Asked next day to freshen up and left sheets same way.Not sure why,cleaning staff spoke perfect English!Mon&Wed they got farmers market downstairs,outrageous prices a Coconut for $20US, a small cup of fruits for $20US,youll also find bracelets and other junk! Overall it’s affordable and central,we didn’t eat on the resort nor used their spa so can’t recommend!

I paid the resort fee and deposit with my card when I checked in in the morning, but when I went to the front desk to pick up my room key in the afternoon, I was charged the resort fee and deposit again. Even if I told him that I had paid when I checked in earlier, he insisted that I could pay. It's not for me, it's for my husband. Even though I said it was strange that I had reserved only one room for two people, I was told to pay. I asked someone who could speak Japanese to take over the phone and explain things to me, and they finally gave me the room key, but there was no explanation or apology as to why it happened. I was handed the room key with a defiant attitude. And, as expected, I was charged at the restaurant even though I made a reservation with a plan that included breakfast. If the front desk is that much, well, I thought it would be like that. I'm scared of what I'll be charged next time when I check out tomorrow. Is Marriott a hotel like that? I come to Hawaii every year, but I will never stay at a Marriott again. It's a shame because the location and facilities are fine.

This hotel is about a 10 min walking distance to the beach. Located in a central area near the Waikiki strip that has a Las Vegas strip feel (busy, crowded). A lot of stores and restaurants within walking distance. Food is expensive overall in the area. Hotel itself has a restaurant inside. Beautiful lobby area that includes a community microwave and a soda stream machine. They give you a sample of Dole pineapple frozen yogurt at check in. Good customer service, friendly staff. Damien, our valet guy was great! $45 valet parking daily but $30 dollar/day parking option across the street behind Ross. Queen room was cute, colorful but a bit smaller than expected. Carpet and bathroom outdated but has a balcony. No microwave in the room but snacks and kettle for hot water, as well as tea. Big closet for your clothes a plus. TV has cable channels but no premiums. Housekeeping good with bringing towels daily. Can get beach towels from front desk. Pool and sitting area on roof is nice. Overall we had a good experience and the hotel is cute and practical.

Don’t book a room cheaply! *Environmental location, next to Wakiki Beach and on the main road, it is very convenient to be connected in all directions. Convenience stores and restaurants, trolly stations, public beaches, and zoos are all very close and within walking distance. *Room facilities, the hotel has a history of a hundred years, so it is very stylish, but the city view room in the Diamond Building is so bad! ! ! ! Not as good as the new 3 star hotel rooms. (Pictured below are the benefits of room upgrade with the Marriott Platinum Card. I booked the cheapest room, but it turned out that booking through a third party did not provide any membership benefits. In the Maui fire, the hotel was full, and I wanted to upgrade temporarily but there was no room). The room is old, with an area of ​​less than 20 square meters. Morning and night, I am woken up either by cars on the road or by the phone in the next room. A very bad experience! * Service, remind the guests to check the bill carefully. After staying for 5 nights, the wrong bill was charged on 4 days. They checked it out one by one when they checked out, and the wrong money was refunded after 4 days. In short, don't try to be cheap when booking a room. The small and shabby room type is not as good as staying in Hyatt or Marriott. The price/performance ratio is too low!

The hotel is great and clean and our room was a good size. I was sad that they didn’t have an actual pool. They have a waddle pool for kids and a hot (warm) tub. Parking at the hotel is quiet expensive and the walk to the beach is about 10 minutes. It was nice to be able to get towels, beach chairs and umbrellas from the hotel to use at the beach. Lots of shops and restaurants steps away.
