Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

Pure paradise if you’re heading to Hawaii for its beaches, Alohilani boasts contemporary design and is steps from Waikiki Beach’s exclusive ‘Kuhio’ stretch. You can be snorkelling, surfing or swimming just moments after you arrive. If that’s not enough water, Alohilani Resort’s 280,000 gallon Oceanarium is filled with Hawaiian reef fishes, creating a soothing setting for drinks at O Bar and island breakfasts at Lychee. And, if your aquatic thirst still isn’t quenched, the fifth floor pool deck’s an impeccably chic setting, with its infinity pool, paddling pool, bar, overstuffed teak loungers, driftwood sculptures, and ocean views. You could even splash out on a cabana or water lounger. By night, it’s a magical space with lanterns, fire pits, and live music, ideal after dining in one of its two restaurants led by world-famous ‘Iron Chef’ Masaharu Morimoto.

Wonderful resort. Great location and service. The building has been well renovated (except for the bathroom within our room). Highly recommend the Italian restaurant in the lobby and if you need a car for a single day or two, use Sixt car rental (you can return at any time in the evening directly to the Alohilani valet and avoid overnight parking)!

Best place in Waikiki. It was my first time and will time and time again! Beautiful resort, staff, and views. Convenient place right by everything. So many amenities and offerings of events every day. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Waikiki now.

Beware the hidden taxes, fees and charges. The longboard club IS NOT a one-time flat rate of $150. It’s $150/ day plus a bunch of other fees and taxes each day. Kiss your $300 deposit required at check-in goodbye and plane on a couple extra hundred being tacked on. I expected to drop some cash on this trip but I try to be smart about it. When… Read more

When they hide this info it can completely blow your budget out of the water. Read less

Amazing experience overall. The location is very central and the hotel is redone. I’ve stayed at a few other hotels in the area and the common areas here are much more modern. The rooms, especially bathrooms, are still a bit dated but much nicer than most other hotels. The service was great overall and we had a great experience at the longboard… Read more
