Beautiful hotel!
Mari H on Jul 19, 2024
Moana Surfrider Hotel is the first and oldest hotel in Oahu. Hospitality was excellent! It is centrally located in the best part of Waikiki. Everything you need is steps away, restaurants, shopping, the beach. They do have a small pool, but as I mentioned, the beach is steps away and the highlight of the area. They have a great breakfast buffet that I highly recommend to do at least once. They have a great gym, with multiple machines, weights, TRX, Yoga mats and rollers. If the Spa is more your speed, book an appointment early, because they fill up fast. Pack light, they do have a guest laundry room in the basement, and it’s easy to do your laundry if needed, a must if you have kids. Our room had a mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker. Everyday they would replenish 2 fresh water bottles, tea bag’s and coffee pods. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, well worth it.
Great Location but Medocrity Rules

The location is PERFECT. Right in the middle of Waikiki and within walking distance of just about anything you might need. The common areas are consistent with a grand old mainstay on Waikiki. The beach is steps away. We were upgraded to a 2-room suite with our Nightly Upgrade Awards. The suite was HUGE and so was the bathroom. The view was magnificent. As other have said - you cannot use the balcony so the view was more of a tease as you had a view through a dirty sliding glass window. The pool and pool area is way too small for a resort this size and the pool chair issue that everyone complains about is real. Virtually all chairs are claimed by 7:00 am. The pool was also closed for days because of loose tiles. Allegedly, someone cut their foot. Instead of fixing the pool and reopening it, the hotel just closed it. We saw no pool repair workers for days. The hotel also failed to make alternative arrangements with one of the many neighboring Marriott owned hotels so guests could enjoy a pool. The outdoor cafe was grossly understaffed. There were long lines and the cafe ran out of food. This was important because the cafe was the only area where elite members could actually use their benefits unless you wanted to be upcharged (e.g. $28 for buffet after elite discount). This could be a great hotel again IF they address the balconies, staffing, and pool issues. The lack of any urgency to resolve these issues should keep you looking elsewhere until the hotel makes a commitment to give its guests a true resort. There is too much competition in Waikiki to accept mediocrity.
