5 star stay at a true 5 star hotel

+The hotel has a lot of classic charm and is positioned on a beautiful stretch of beach. The staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. We had a top floor oceanfront room and the view was, as you can imagine, beautiful. The spa was also top tier.

The pool area is small and quite busy. There’s no adults-only pool so be prepared for splashing from kids doing cannonballs and similar activities.

10.0Francesca· CoupleMay 2026

AMAZING, would live here if possible!

+Attention to detail, friendly staff makes you feel like family. Amazing location, room was fantastic and the beach is beautiful. Peaceful tranquility.

Nothing it was all up to par. From when you enter through the valet to when you check-in, the pool guys. Everyone is so friendly there is nothing to not like.

We were glad to stay here

+Very quiet property away from downtown . Dolphins amazing

There should be warning signs on the beach of potential water contamination from the prior storm runoff . I got sick 2 days later from accidentally swallowing the saltwater

7.0Lance· Family With ChildrenMay 2026

Convenient enough, a little dated, small pool, would be nice to have an adult only pool.

+The beach location

Not much around the hotel directly

9.0Fiona· Extended GroupApr 2026

Beautiful and unforgettable

+Very stylish Hotel, the rooms were exceptional and great location not far from Waikiki

The Restaurant was quite basic, where Breakfast was served. Expensive for what we ordered.
