"I just had a lovely 6 night stay on the 18th fl of the Ainahau tower. Be careful booking as there is also the Kauilani tower that is not renovated, which had nice rooms but the bathrooms were very dated with tile, stainless steel niches and sinks without countertop space (think hospital bathrooms). I accidentally booked our 2nd room in that tower and managed to get it changed to the Ainahau tower. Even in the renovated tower, one of the beds seemed past its prime and was overly soft. The rest of the hotel was nice though in need of minor updating (lighting, flooring). Pool area was nice/simple. Pool itself was small with only a small shallow portion with that progressively got deeper up to 8 feet. No floatation is allowed in the pool despite it being so deep. The location is super central in Waikiki walking distance to most everything! I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. "
