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.

Beautiful hotel with an aquarium inside. Made the entrance of the hotel feel very welcoming to adults and to kids. The staff was extremely nice and was able to check us in 3 hours early so they are very accommodating. They gave multiple recommendations and made us feel like they genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great stay. We received towels to take to the beach which was just across the street. Their GYM was small but neat because all the machines were facing the aquarium wall. So it's not a view of the beach outside but it's still a nice view. When we checked out of the hotel, our flight didn't leave for another 5 hours so they offered to keep our luggage for as long as we needed so we can go explore the town without having to carry all of our luggage. Again they were very accommodating. The beds were comfortable, they had all the basic necessities like shampoo/conditioner/ body wash/blow-dryer/ but they did not have a standard coffee maker. They only had an espresso machine and a water boiler to make americanos. I personally didn't care for the coffee situation but I just walked around the corner and got a drip coffee from the ABC store that's only a couple feet away lol . But I definitely recommend this hotel, you just might enjoy the ABC coffee better lol. Read less

We enjoyed this hotel! It was in a great spot, across from the beach, right near restaurants. The pool and hot tub were lovely! We had zero complaints. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

Convenient access to Waikiki beach. We had a great stay at Aolhilani Resort, excellent service from all of the staff. Very cool lobby. Easy check in and check out. Partial ocean view, room was very clean and tidy, comfortable bed. Pool and roof top bar was amazing. Morimoto restaurant was amazing the food was great. Would definitely stay there… Read more

- Our oceanfront view was lovely. Location is great. Elevator system is good. - The shower/bath tap system didn’t work properly and was slightly loose, it meant the bath tap ran at the same time as showerhead. - The towel rails in the bathroom make no sense, they’re too low to the floor or mean hanging your towel over switches, the bidet etc.… Read more
- Our oceanfront view was lovely. Location is great. Elevator system is good. - The shower/bath tap system didn’t work properly and was slightly loose, it meant the bath tap ran at the same time as showerhead. - The towel rails in the bathroom make no sense, they’re too low to the floor or mean hanging your towel over switches, the bidet etc. Combined with the second daily housekeeping, we found we often had to use damp towels due to this design flaw. - Second daily housekeeping is kind of annoying, it seems more as a method to cut costs rather than be environmentally friendly. They also only supply water bottle on your first day, we stayed over a week and housekeeping threw out the bottles so I had to buy more to refill. - They wanted a $500 security deposit, there’s no clear information about how they come up with the amounts. When we queried why the other couples deposit was only $200, she couldn’t answer. She then dropped ours to $200 when we explained we weren’t interested in room service. - Pool area is pretty cool. - We stayed at Sheraton Princess Kauilani and found the service far more friendly, housekeeping was daily and they constantly offered you water to stay hydrated, helpful to fix problems. Sheraton’s service was significantly better when Alohilani cost more which is annoying. - I do feel Alohilani use ‘environmentally’ friendly as a means more to cut costs and maximise their profits, at the expense of customer service. We were pretty disappointed in this experience, the saving grace was our room was comfortable and our view was beautiful. However the value for money wasn’t quite there and next time, I’d probably go with a Sheraton hotel again. Read less
