The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki

We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for four nights, and we make it a point to stay here at least once a year whenever we come to Hawaii. We’re always so pleased with the overall experience, especially the beach service. A special thank you to Darrell and Puna — you truly made our stay even more memorable. Your kindness and warmth are deeply appreciated. The location and views are absolutely amazing, and the hotel itself is stunning with so much character and history. That said, the rooms could definitely use some updates. For the price point, I do feel the design and overall condition should reflect a higher standard. Some areas feel quite outdated. We stayed in the newer (modern) building this time, but I personally preferred the historic building where we stayed last year. I don’t quite

This was our 13th trip back to this wonderful hotel. It just keeps getting better and better, if that’s even possible. From the minute you walk into the hotel, you know you are at a luxury resort. The hotel is in impeccable shape and the staff cater to every wish. We had a gorgeous room overlooking the ocean. It was clean and spacious and we got these great souvenir of Royal Hawaiian water bottles to take with us! The breakfast is delicious.||Kazu is amazing. He is calm and knowledgeable and wonderful. He takes amazing care of us every time we visit.

Positive: For a 5 star hotel you expect a clean comfortable room. Where the Royal Hawaiian exceeds expectations is in the way each and every staff member makes you feel welcome. Whether cleaner, valet or front desk, I got a warm friendly greeting. Negative: Unless you are very well off, the prices are quite high. Of course, Hawaii in general is expensive, and staying at the Royal was worth the experience.

My niece treated us to two nights at this excellent resort. We were very lucky to have a room in the historic part of the hotel, with the BEST view of the ocean! The room was excellent; everything about the resort is excellent. We had reserved beach lounges with an umbrella for a full day, right on the beach. On the second day, we had lounges by the small pool. There is a large pool which is shared with the Sheraton next door, which we did not use because we “heard” it was loaded with children. The food at the restaurants was fantastic. If you can afford it, this is the place to stay in Waikiki.

100% recommend staying here in this absolutely stunning classic hotel. You don’t feel like you’re in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki when staying here. The lush Gardens and ambience of the hotel are so relaxing. The room was a good size although the bathroom was definitely small for four people. The gorgeous wood doors were absolutely stunning and our view of the gardens was gorgeous. The lobby hotel is a stunning way to start your trip. There is a small pool on site, but we decided to use the pool next-door that you are allowed to use as it has water slides for the kids and much more family friendly. The beach is gorgeous and we will see the most beautiful sunset there. The hotel offers sunscreen and towels. All in all we had an amazing day and I would definitely recommend this hotel. De
