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.

This was a great location just far enough from the crowded shopping areas but close enough to walk everywhere. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was that the at least two of the elevators seemed to be out of service.

This was a great location just far enough from the crowded shopping areas but close enough to walk everywhere. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was that the at least two of the elevators seemed to be out of service. I was there for a week and it felt like an eternity of stop and go to get to and from my room… especially if I forgot to grab something. As a solo traveler I was happy with the location, it was easy to walk everywhere… especially the beach, the aquarium, and the Diamond Head neighborhood. When needed the self parking garage was super easy to get in and out of. Pool area was nice, although there was some construction which seemed to limit lounges… wedding party took over the hot tub and pool area a few of the days I was there… so that was a challenge but nothing upsetting. Just went to the beach. Overall I would stay again. Read less

Not a bad hotel really but staff need to really try harder to make people feel welcome. More interested in getting the credit card charged with the deposit than offering assistance.

We waited 30 mins for checkin because computers were down for 8 days.The elevators were not working well and all customers waited ages for a lift.One morning no elevators worked and we had to walk down 38 floors.Our room was serviced once in 7 days,no toilet paper, no towels.TV not working for 12 hours. The worst thing was that we told desk staff 3 times .Yes we fix ,but nothing.Then we had to complain about our bill which was about $500 too much.This was fixed.We eventually asked to see a manager and he said very sorry. Never experienced so many problems at a hotel before. Read less

Loved the stay there as staff were all friendly and helpful. The room we stayed had a partial ocean view after upgrade via Amex the hotel collection deal. From Lanai the waikiki view was great especially at night. The building is old and it had a popcorn ceiling but the room was renewed like a new and amenities were great. Loved the lounge and staff there were super nice. Only issue we had was A/C which was making noise all the time but everything else was nice. Just 2 min to the beach and AbC mart in the hotel was very efficient. We had a fantastic experience and would love to come back again! Read less

Go somewhere else. Staff was not helpful when I checked in and had to chase down someone to come and clean our room. Just a horrible experience overall. There was no hot water and I had to bathe my infant in cold water.. not very good at communicating.
