Highgate Independent Waikiki hotels

"In great area"

"Ocean view is fantastic from the balcony "

"I liked that it was so close to the beach. I wish there was a little bit more of activities to do at the hotel, or even just more regular live music in the lobby. The hotel was nice and clean, we had a spectacular view, and I'd come back again to stay here."

"Great place that is family friendly, everything is walking distance and convenient if you don’t have a car. The complimentary breakfast was decent for the kids to enjoy a few different options. Great stay overall!"

"Very nice property. Nice pool and great views. Walking distance to shopping malls."

"I like a lot to be near the ocean also you can find restaurants nearby."

"Great hotel in the middle of waikiki strip. Primary location, clean rooms, good service will definitely stay there again."

"Our experience at the Moana Surfrider was awesome. This historic gem of a hotel is located in the most perfect spot - steps away from Waikiki beach and steps away from a plethora of dining, shopping and entertainment options. Note: there is an ABC store across the street (if you know, you know), we visited the ABC store almost daily. Upon check-in, we were upgraded to a premium room with balcony, boasting a stunning view of the ocean. However, much to our disappointment, the door to the balcony was sealed shut so we were unable to access this beautiful space. It would have been lovely to sit on our balcony and have a coffee or a drink. The evening entertainment at Vintage 1901 (located in the hotel lobby) was nothing short of fabulous. The entertainment, courtesy of the talented pianist David Swanson, really gets the crowd moving and grooving, it's a fun time for all! The pool is gorgeous, but chairs are on a first come first serve basis. Towel service is available to hotel guests at no charge. However, beach chairs, umbrellas and cabanas are available for rent and on a first come first serve basis. If you are not outside by the towel desk at 7am to make a reservation, you'll be out of luck. The front porch at the Moana Surfrider was a highlight for me. The porch is adorned with rocking chairs. I'd have coffee outside on a rocking chair in the morning, and champagne at night while people watching. Pro tip: in the evenings, pivot the rocking chairs on the right to face in"

"Excellent staff"
