Independent South O'ahu hotels

"Staff was super friendly, always welcoming, filled with Aloha. Hotel is in walking distance of The Bus, Magic Island, and has a bridge to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Pint + Jigger and The Signature truly excellent food and drink. DADA spa facial (Mila is incredible) and Bellissima for beautiful feet. Fusion Cafe Salmon Bagel is a work of art and delicious."

"Property as well kept for being an older hotel. Staff very friendly. Close to the beach."

"Hotel was located in the middle of Waikiki close to all the food and shopping. It’s also right across the street from Waikiki beach. We picked this hotel due to its location and close proximity to everything. "

"Beautiful infinity pool with a great view of diamond head. Loved the room. One difficulty was finding chairs on the pool deck but loved that it was adults only at the infinity pool. "

"I would definitely recommend this property. Below are some detailed review: Pros: good location (very close to shopping and food, downstairs is right to beach), reasonable price, very friendly staff and cleaning host. Cons: Property is a bit old and room is a bit small (standard king size bed). Overall, I have very positive impression staying here, and I would recommend my friends as well. For other people's reference, you can choose this place based on your preference (shopping, food and beach access etc)"

"Had never stayed at Hyatt Regency and it met my every expectation. "

"The Wayfinder was the absolute perfect hotel. My room was spacious and cozy and had a great view of the golf course and canal. The staff was kind and welcoming and I would certainly love to stay here again."

"10/10"

"I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience from start to finish. The cleanliness stood out immediately — the rooms were spotless, the linens fresh, and the common areas were consistently well-maintained throughout my stay. It’s clear that the housekeeping team takes real pride in their work. The staff was equally impressive. Every interaction, from check-in to check-out, was handled with professionalism and courtesy. They were attentive, helpful, and always available to answer questions or offer local recommendations. Another big plus is the location. Everything I needed — restaurants, shops, and even some tourist attractions — was within walking distance. I didn’t need to rely on a car or public transport at all, which made my stay even more convenient. Overall, I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, well-managed place in a walkable area."
