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.

The photos gave a luxurious impression. Unfortunately, photos can be deceptive. I wonder if the covers of the pool lounges are ever washed? Carpets are stained. I haven't received my security bond fees, no response from my email. Disappointing.

We stayed here as part of a multi stop trip to the USA - this hotel was without doubt the most welcoming and friendly out of all of them. The staff were great throughout our visit, and the service was faultless. The hotel is of a high standard and spotless throughout. If we return to the Island again we’ll be sure to stay here.

We paid top dollar for a beachside view from the top floor and got a side view of the beach with a room that could have been a Motel 6 room. Absolutely nothing special about the room. The floors have a pattern that doesn’t fool anyone into thinking the carpets are anything but filthy. Additionally, the fees and deposit requirements were awful of which I have yet to be reimbursed for my deposit. Don’t be fooled by the pictures online, they give the wrong impression. The charge daily for parking starts at $48 or you can have daily valet parking for $55. If you self park be careful the spots are very tight on the third floor and above where you have to park. The one cool thing in the hotel is the giant fish tank. Don’t stay here but definitely visit to see the tank. Read less

As a travel advisor, I appreciated the opportunity to stay at this resort. Alexandra at the front desk was incredibly helpful and always ready to assist with a smile. I also want to give a special shout-out to Grayson, who went above and beyond when I needed help getting my aunt downstairs in a hotel wheelchair for an unexpected trip to the ER. I'd also like to mention our housekeeper, Beverly. She did an amazing job keeping our room tidy and comfortable, and her friendly demeanor made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, my family and I truly enjoyed our stay. I'm excited to send future clients your way and I'm already planning my return trip back there for next year. Read less

One of the best hotels and locations I have stayed! We were super lucky to be given a room at the front of the hotel building, and had the most amazing views from a partial Seaview king room. Beds and pillows were so comfy. Excellent shower pressure and loved the tropical smell from shampoo, conditioner and body lotions. Really enjoyed the activities running - took part in yoga on the pool deck one morning. We didn’t have breakfast, but dinner from the rooftop was nice. Fantastic location and gorgeous hotel. Would not hesitate coming back and loved the Hawaiian friendliness and vibe. Read less
