Halekulani
Wow, where do we start? This is an awesome and relaxing resort. It started as a private home back the in late 1800s and has been a hotel since 1907 when rooms went for about $6, but it opened in its current form in 1984. Services are unmatched here. For instance,...
Hilton Hawaiian Village
Where do we start? We’ve reviewed every resort in Hawai‘i, and this is the biggest kahuna of them all. On a typical day they’ll have over 6,000 guests serviced by 1,700 employees, which practically qualifies it as a small town. If you’re looking for a pulsating,...
Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina
This Four Seasons opened its doors in 2016 after a $250 million renovation to the former JW Marriott Ihilani Resort. Although the entry and footprint don't feel much different to us than the former hotel, many amenities have been added to bring it up to Four...
Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk
This resort sits on top of the Waikiki Beach Walk shopping center. The Hula Tower is closest to the water, and the Aloha Tower has most of its ocean views blocked by the resort in front of them. The resort doesn’t feel like a contemporary Hawaiian resort. The lobby...
Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort
This hotel's location on the beach is fantastic, though the building design means that only a small percentage of rooms are right over the beach. They’re near the center of action in Waikiki, and their restaurants—especially Duke’s Canoe Club—are winners. The last...
Turtle Bay Resort
This 840-acre resort is on 5 miles of beaches. On our visit for this edition it was looking the best we’ve seen it. The place seems to have a very low-key, relaxed vibe overall, and the staff is nice. New owners have slowly but steadily been putting money—well over...
Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach
This is probably the only "new" resort in Waikiki that, unlike others, wasn't a resort before it opened in late 2016. It had a previous life as an office building, which gives it some added benefits, such as 12-foot ceilings, unique room layouts and a lobby on the...
The Kahala Hotel & Resort
Typically this resort is ranked among the world’s best hotels—for good reasons. This is probably our favorite O‘ahu resort. It has all the trappings of a big, fun destination resort without any of the annoyances, like waiting in line or crowds. The Kahala isn’t in...
Sheraton Waikiki
Although there are bigger resorts, this 31-story tower is the biggest single hotel building in all Hawai‘i. It’s so big you can actually get lost in the hallways, which keep going and going and going. You can do a lot of walking at this sprawling hotel, which can...
Hilton Waikiki Beach
The hotel feels geared toward the business traveler with many amenities and no resort fee. Rooms are clean and very modern with their trademark Serenity beds and 42-inch TVs that you can connect to your computer. Rooms either face the mountains (which are very...
