Honolulu, Oahu

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.

The hotel is nice and in a prime location. The pool was my absolute favorite part. My only issue with that is there aren’t a lot of chairs for the size of the hotel. You have to get to the pool at 8:30 when they open to secure one. I didn’t like being charged $10 to use the microwave either. I wanted to heat up a steak I had left over from the… Read more
The hotel is nice and in a prime location. The pool was my absolute favorite part. My only issue with that is there aren’t a lot of chairs for the size of the hotel. You have to get to the pool at 8:30 when they open to secure one. I didn’t like being charged $10 to use the microwave either. I wanted to heat up a steak I had left over from the night before so I went down to the lobby to do that. I was told they could bring a microwave up to my room but I would be charged $10 a day for each day I kept it. For the price of this resort that should’ve absolutely been included. My other issue was the amount of children at the resort that took over the pool daily. Lots of screaming, crying and splashing. The hotel is also in a very noisy area. We were so high up we thought we could sleep with the sliding door open to hear the waves. That was a no go. The city never really settles down. There’s always banging, horns blowing and loud talking. Last but not least, I requested an ocean view room only to be told when I checked in the room only offers a side view of the ocean. Read less

Overall the staff from check-in to housekeeping were exceptional. We used the onsite rental car service(sixt) and it was also great. The spa services were awesome, the spa itself was lacking as it is very small and in the same area as the fitness center. The 9th floor fitness area could use some TLC. Overall i would recommend staying here and plan to stay again in the future Read less

We have stayed at the Alohilani every year for the last 6 years. Great location, just across the street from Waikiki beach without the hassle of being on the main strip of Kalakua Ave. Easy access by car. Staff is wonderful and always very helpful.

This hotel is so clean and beautiful. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Walking distance to food trucks, zoo, park, beach... Mall and shopping. ABC store on premises. Recommend Burgers in paradise, awesome food for lunch and breakfasts...

Oct 28, 2024 Darren P Rockville, Maryland

Upon arrival my room was situated above a large and LOUD rave party on the pool deck. The absolute worst experience we could have received after a 14 hour trip. It felt like the party was in the middle of our room and it was not a good experience at all.
