Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa
Wow! This resort dominates the landscape on this side of the island. We have to admit that we’re not Disney groupies, so we had our own biases going into this review. And it took us longer to see this resort from top to bottom than any other resort in Hawai‘i....
Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort
This hotel is right on the beach. The décor has a Hawaiian feel with all the modern amenities. The Ocean Tower is worth the extra money here. The pool area can be very busy because some other Outrigger properties have access to it. Rooms facing the Waikiki Shore...
Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort
This is one of Waikiki’s most historic hotels, originally opened in 1901, and the second floor has a nice display describing the legacy of this establishment. Their three buildings surround a century-old banyan tree that lends an air of timelessness to the...
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...
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,...
Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
This is the kind of place you think of when you imagine a large, very nice Hawaiian resort: tropical feel, open-air lobby and good staff. Even though it’s very large, it radiates the dreamy warmth you’re looking for without seeming too busy. There are two towers...
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...
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...
Hyatt Regency Waikiki
The Hyatt Regency is one of the bigger Waikiki resorts. It consists of two towers surrounding a huge, open atrium with gobs of shops and a three-story man-made waterfall that makes for an impressive lobby. Their 10,000-sq.-ft. Na Ho‘ola Spa has some breathtaking...
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...
