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.

We were pleasantly surprised during our stay, especially with some of the negative reviews that are posted. I would prefer to give 3. 5 instead of 3. We booked through Amex Travel and received hotel credit and room upgrades, which included access to the Longboard Club (daily breakfast and happy hour). Downfalls: the bathrooms are tiny and the housekeeping isn’t detailed when they do their “cleaning,” rooms are a little dated, and beach gear is not on-site. However, the upsides: beautiful lobby, excellent service in the Longboard (they went above and beyond to welcome us during our 7-day stay), location was excellent and close to everything, including the onsite shops and restaurants. Overall, it was above average and my family and I had a wonderful vacation despite the downfalls. Extra shoutouts to the entire Longboard staff! Read less

Vacationed at the Alohilani in October. The grand lobby and the fish tanks are quite instagram worthy. The location of the hotel is quite central and close to everything. It is right across from the beach, and has lots of amenities. We did the Longboard Experience and we were happy that we did. We received superb service by Micah and Belle… Read more

They were so friendly, attentive and helpful. We really appreciated their service quality which made our stay memorable. Other than the some what dated rooms, it was a good experience. Read less

From the valet to check in to your room all beautiful! All the staff are very friendly - even the behind the scenes staff will greet you when you bump into them. They have a great Italian restaurant but be prepared to wait a while for your food. They offered some prosciutto but maybe some crackers or cheese to go with that would be great! I told… Read more

They have a great Italian restaurant but be prepared to wait a while for your food. They offered some prosciutto but maybe some crackers or cheese to go with that would be great! I told them maybe we can order appetizers and they said it would just as long as the entrees. But I give this hotel a 10+ You will not be disappointed! Read less

I really wanted to give this hotel a 5 star rating, but unfortunately it fell a little short. Let’s start with check in, the hotel is beautiful upon arrival, inside and out very nicely maintained. The check in attendant was very nice, no issues. We went up to our room we had booked an ocean front we received the 11th floor it was a very nice room, but keep in mind ocean front yes, but there is a main road between you and the beach, so you will have to walk across the street to go to the beach, that was not a big deal, but what was, was all the street traffic noise, it was very loud most nights, cars, horns, sirens etc. you can hear it all so you if your going for ocean front keep that in mind. We also had an issue with our neighbour smoking on their balcony, and even though it clearly states no smoking in the rooms or balcony’s the people next to us did it all the time, so after two nights we couldn’t take it anymore and we notified the front desk and they kindly changed our room to a higher floor which not only solved the smoke issue but the noise issue as well, as we were further from the street. The hotel was very accommodating and when there is street noise or people who don’t follow smoking rules this is in no way the fault of the hotel. From then on our stay was perfect, the room was cleaned only every other day. Also just a note the bathroom is extremely small, its quiet a tight space, but functional and clean. All in all the hotel is nice its clean everyone we encountered was accommodating and friendly. The pool is located on the 5th floor and you have to walk down a hall past rooms to get to it, the pool is fairly small with a hot tub and it shares the space with a bar and tables/chairs, which make a nice place for drinks and live music in the evenings.
