Top Kaka'ako Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location opposite Waikiki Beach, helpful staff, spacious and clean room"

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room in the Tower. Excellent room that was recently renovated. Great view of the ocean. Great location close to everything. Biggest negative is the pool area is way too small. I saw people going down at 5 to 6 am in the morning to get a seat near the pool. Way too few beach chairs and umbrellas. We were there a week and they were already booked out for the entire week. Those were the 2 biggest negatives."

Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Four Seasons. The resort was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and the hospitality was truly exceptional. Every request we made was taken care of promptly, and the attention to detail throughout our stay made us feel so special. From the comfortable beds to the staff remembering our names, it was clear that the team genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for their guests. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, including stuffed animals for our children, a birthday note, and a special dessert to celebrate. We also loved the privacy light option and how our room was refreshed daily, with little details that made each day feel special. There were only two minor issues during our stay: an unpleasant smell in the bathroom and a sink knob that kept getting stuck. We would also love to see more dining options available, particularly for breakfast. Overall, these were small issues in an otherwise fantastic experience. The level of service and personal attention truly stood out, and we would absolutely stay at the Four Seasons again!"

Best Western The Plaza Hotel Honolulu Airport - Free Breakfast

8/10 Good

"The property was fine for my stay I did not buy an upgrade room and the room assigned was facing the nimentz highway which was very noisy. I suggest avoiding rooms on the 100-200 area. The property offers free breakfast so don’t oversleep as it only open 7-9 am"
