Good first experience for Waikiki and Hawaii. The rentals for chairs paddle boards and umbrellas was amazing. Nice clean hotel on the quiet side of Waikiki.

Awesome location and views

MPAussie (Brisbane, Australia) on Feb 19, 2026

5/5 for location and views. I grew up visiting Honolulu but this is the first time I’ve treated myself to an oceanfront room and it was totally worth it. Is the hotel a little old and run down? Yes. Are the rooms small? Yes. Could I hear my neighbours? Sometimes but not a lot - mostly first thing in the morning. But the cleanliness, friendliness and views make the Twin Fin a stand out and I will return. The beds were comfortable and having a small fridge was great. We stayed for 12 nights, so I liked being able to have some of my own drinks and snacks in the fridge. Location wise you’re at the zoo end of Kalakaua, which provides you with either open beach to swim at, or the more protected ‘rock pool’. Sunrise and sunset were easy to view from our oceanfront room. Whilst the balcony was small, it was perfect for the two of us to sit on and admire said views. Do yourself a favour and pay the extra $$ for the oceanfront!

False charges and zero customer service.

Jancy G on Feb 17, 2026

Let me start out by saying the location and the restaurant its attached to Tikis is very good but that is where it ends. We got charged a smoking fee of 500 dollars even though both me and wife don't smoke and specifically went with this hotel to avoid smokers. I asked them to do a inspection on the room to show that no one here smokes and they just refused and said a device detected it and that we would not be getting it removed off our charges. There is a insane amount of issues of people in the same situation where they are pulling this stunt randomly with zero proof that it is happening. I would never go back there and we had to call our bank to dispute it since when we spoke to management all they said was that he is used to people lying to him...again heed the warning this hotel charges false fees to get more money out of you and the hotel itself is not to much different then a motel with the added benefit that its close to everything.

Wonderful time at Twin Fin!

Janet J on Feb 17, 2026

My husband and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our anniversary. Mike Tribble @Bon Voyage travel helped us accomplish that. The Twin Fin hotel is a nice place to stay. We had an awesome view of the ocean and the beach is right there ,across the street. The staff at Twin Fin are very friendly and accommodating . We will definitely stay here again!
