Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

This hotel was probably one of the best properties I have stayed at. I’ve stayed at May high end hotels and this hotel is one for the books. From the moment we walked in we were treated with such care. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. We had the most beautiful ocean front king suite with impeccable views. Please do not listen to the other reviews of “loud boats and surfers” it’s so minimal that you will never hear it unless your patio doors are open plus if you’re staying ocean front there’s going to be some noise.. That being said we had absolutely zero noise concerns/issues it was perfect. We were here for 5 nights and were celebrating a milestone in our relationship. Hotel manger Haley went above and beyond with helping me setup the room for a little surprise. Her hospitality

Positive: The location is the best IMO. The hotel has great ambience as an older hotel from the 1950s or so. Negative: The Banyon city view rooms were not up to expectations. Too small for the cost and the walls let too much noise from the adjoining rooms through. We upgraded to ocean view rooms that were somewhat larger and we could see the beach from the balcony.

Historic Waikīkī hotel on the beach and adjacent to Waikiki shops and restaurants. There are separate buildings (wings) each with distinctive architecture. The hotel has recently renovated guest rooms in all three wings. The original historic Moana / Banyan wing has lobby, check in and restaurants. This three story wing tends to have smaller rooms than typical. The tower wing, originally the Surfrider hotel, is the high rise tower. Rooms near the street can have significant urban noise. Rooms are either facing the adjacent Outrigger hotel (not ideal view) or Diamond Head / ocean (preferred). The spa is located in this wing. Any room facing the Banyan courtyard will be faced with music from the Beach Bar from afternoon until 10p. The diamond wing was the original Surfrider, but

We stayed here for two nights and I truly love the historic feeling of the main building and also the ocean view room. The location is epic, walking distance to everything. The hotel offers various kinds of activities which included in the resort fees. We did morning yoga and flower lei making session. The teachers are very nice and funny. The room is nice but a little bit small. The pool is also a bit small but you have the access to Waikiki beach so it does not matter that much. The breakfast is also nice. Overall, highly recommend!!!!

Location was in a very busy part of the city. Restaurants and nearby attractions are very close by. The atmosphere was quite busy on the main floor. The rooms were very nice and spacious. The views of Diamond Head were outstanding. The cleanliness of the hotel was top notch. Service was exceptional. Nancy at the pool side bar was great! The beach area was crowded and the lack of a hot tub was my only complaints. Overall, a very good stay
