Virgin rating

The hotel

Pure paradise if you’re heading to Hawaii for its beaches, Alohilani boasts contemporary design and is steps from Waikiki Beach’s exclusive ‘Kuhio’ stretch. You can be snorkelling, surfing or swimming just moments after you arrive. If that’s not enough water, Alohilani Resort’s 280,000 gallon Oceanarium is filled with Hawaiian reef fishes, creating a soothing setting for drinks at O Bar and island breakfasts at Lychee. And, if your aquatic thirst still isn’t quenched, the fifth floor pool deck’s an impeccably chic setting, with its infinity pool, paddling pool, bar, overstuffed teak loungers, driftwood sculptures, and ocean views. You could even splash out on a cabana or water lounger. By night, it’s a magical space with lanterns, fire pits, and live music, ideal after dining in one of its two restaurants led by world-famous ‘Iron Chef’ Masaharu Morimoto.

Stopped here on our way home to Melbourne. On the whole a good hotel with spacious and clean rooms with a great view overlooking the beach. Location wise it was great.

Stopped here on our way home to Melbourne. On the whole a good hotel with spacious and clean rooms with a great view overlooking the beach. Location wise it was great. Cross the road and you're on the beach and within walking distance of a range of restaurants. However, it was very crowded, but if you don't mind waiting 10 minutes for an elevator or sharing the pool with crowds of people and fighting for lounge chairs then this is the place for you.

The drink at the pool were tasty and so was the food. For those who like to stay on their workout routine you will especially love the fitness center. It has everything a gym has and is very clean. My family loved the stay and my son enjoyed the large fishtank in the lobby. Overall, excellent experience. Read less

The location of this hotel is probably the best thing about it. Weve stayed on every island and this is probably just our least favorite overall. Too much of a city environment, loud noises and sirens at all hours of the day and night. Driving to the north shore is about a hour and you get out of the hustle and bustle up there.

The location of this hotel is probably the best thing about it. Weve stayed on every island and this is probably just our least favorite overall. Too much of a city environment, loud noises and sirens at all hours of the day and night. Driving to the north shore is about a hour and you get out of the hustle and bustle up there. The hotel Food was decent. Service was sub par and very slow at the pool. Momosan restaurant was very good. Rooms are older and comparable to 2-3 star hotels. Basic, small bathroom with very little clearance between the door and the toilet— and we were “upgraded” through Amex. We had access to the longboard lounge as well and the service was great, staff in there were lovely to our kids and it was nice for snacks and small bites, breakfast and basic beer/wine. Read less
