Top Makiki Forest Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location literally a 2 min walk to the beach from the hotel lobby beautiful sunset views from my balcony at that time of year (July) very central to lots of food and shopping. Pool was nice later in the day when there was less people but doesn’t get as much sun on the pool deck, but the beach was across the street so it was okay. Room was great. Would definitely stay again."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"very good location and they have breakfast"

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Overall it was a nice stay. The onsite parking was limited but there is a garage around the corner that we could park. You just need to get the voucher from the staff."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Good stay, but better value at other properties"

Pagoda Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and big. I didn’t like the air conditioner turning off and on. It was loud and I couldn’t sleep well. Parking was convenient."

Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel

8/10 Good

"My complaint was about Expedia, which I used for my room. I pay for the upgrade to the king-size room. I tried to explain to the lady, but she told me, " Oh, with Expedia, it depends on the availability of the rooms. It was not explained like that by Expedia. I think it is not right to pay more for a king, but not to find out that it depends on availability. next day, they gave me what I paid for, but it was my last day at the hotel. Even the parking was too close to the gate. So far, everything was great."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Alana - Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel had 2 out of 3 elevators operating and they are small. During certain times of the day you had to catch the up elevator in order to go down."
