Prince Waikiki

Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

Enjoy spectacular all-oceanfront accommodation and world-class service at the Hawaii Prince Hotel, one of Waikiki’s most desirable addresses! Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic views of the Ala Wai Yacht Harbour and Pacific Ocean are second to none – make sure you’re around at sunset, because they get pretty breathtaking around here! What’s really unique about this stunning hotel is the five-story base that this hotel sits on which is home to restaurants, an open-air lounge, lobby, shops, everything you need for the perfect holiday. If you’re a golf enthusiast, things get even better – the 27-hole course set on Oahu’s sunny Ewa Plain, is the only one of its kind in Hawaii. Enjoy a complimentary shuttle service to and from it courtesy of the hotel and a meal at the Bird of Paradise restaurant, open for lunch and cocktails. If you’d rather be pampered, a trip to the Yamano Day Spa is recommended, specialists in ‘aesthetics’, this relaxation technique will chase any lingering cares away! Dining is varied with plenty of options on offer, kick-starting in Reef Lounge perhaps – Waikiki’s newest contemporary lounge serving great martinis.

The attitude of everyone that works at your hotel is amazing they must love their work! This is reflected to your customers. i feel quite badly because I did not leave a tip in my room upon leaving. i will normally leave a tip in my room when people do an excellent job of taking care of my wifw and I apologize!

At first we had different hotel but we had an issue there and here they were very kind towards us, they found an option for us, even throw in free bubbles for our honeymoon :) I would definitely go for this hotel again

This is not my first stay (or first review) for this hotel, but I can tell you there's good reason why I keep coming back. The service is excellent. It's quiet and unassuming, but hits the mark for busy people who want to unwind. I can't think of any hotel that has rooms as generous and clean.

This is not my first stay (or first review) for this hotel, but I can tell you there's good reason why I keep coming back. The service is excellent. It's quiet and unassuming, but hits the mark for busy people who want to unwind. I can't think of any hotel that has rooms as generous and clean. The design is modern and fresh and the bathrooms are extensive with japanese toilets and separate showers to the bath. Guests are orderly around the pool area and the view can not be beat. It's a bogan free zone - so while everyone is clearly having fun, I have never witnessed any loud of anti social behaviour. All the food options are excellent. It boasts the best buffet on Oahu, but even snacks and cocktails at the pool are excellent. The Clubroom access is first rate. Make sure you book this or I can guarantee you'll be jealous of guests enjoying these facilities. Read less

The Prince Waikīkī is pure luxury. As soon as you arrive you know are in a for a treat. The staff are excellent and the hotel lobby is quite impressive. The food and restaurants are fine dining at its best. We were in a Club room so we were able to have a choice of having breakfast or lunch at the club lounge or in the 100 Sails restaurant. Both have a great selection of hot a cold foods. Dinner was equally impressive too. We were there celebrating our anniversary and were so glad we chose the hotel, rather than some of the other busier hotels in Waikīkī. So our room was on the 32nd floor and what an amazing view we had. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and the marina makes for a great vista to wake up to. But what’s even more impressive, is the spectacular sunsets that we got to see from the comfort of our room. With three beaches just a few minutes walk from the hotel, in either direction, the largest shopping mall (Ala Moana) on the island 8 minutes walk away and lots of restaurants all around the hotel, you’re going to have lots to do, see and enjoy while staying at the Prince Waikīkī. And if you want to just kick back & relax by the pool, there’s a lovely outdoor pool on the 5th floor, where you can dip in a hot spa or glide in the luxurious infinity pool, watching the yachts and sailing boats pass by, with a glass of your favourite beverage! We loved it.! Read less
