Another amazing stay

LizUk (UK) on Jul 26, 2026

Another amazing stay in one of my favourite hotels We had a lovely room in the Banyan wing with the most amazing ocean view. The room had clearly been refurbished recently and was perfect. Paradise! We enjoyed time by the pool and had no issues getting loungers as people move on quite quickly. And drinks under the Banyan tree are always memorable A perfect location too with lots of restaurants nearby We will definitely be back!

Amazing hotel

Mari V on Jul 19, 2026

We loved our time here at the Moana Surfrider! Check in was easy and everyone is super friendly. Our room has a beautiful view. We are staying in the Tower ocean view!!! We had a minor issue with the AC unit and it was fixed right away. The grounds are impeccable- so beautiful. We enjoyed coffee daily at the Honolulu coffee store that is adjacent to the hotel. We sat by the pool and walked on the beach!!! We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!!! Don’t hesitate to stay here.!!!!

Paradise

Our stay at the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine Hawaiian hospitality, and the entire team made us feel like valued guests. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. As the "First Lady of Waikiki," it perfectly blends historic elegance with modern comfort. The beautiful banyan tree, oceanfront setting, and classic architecture create an atmosphere unlike any other hotel on Waikiki Beach. Our room was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and spotless, with breathtaking views that made every morning feel special. The beachfront location is unbeatable—just steps from the sand, surrounded by excellent restaurants, luxury shopping, and everything Waikiki has to offer. A special thank you to the Westin staff all around for their incredible hospitality and the thoughtful room upgrade. Their kindness and attention to detail made our vacation even more memorable and truly demonstrated what exceptional guest service looks like. Whether relaxing under the famous banyan tree, enjoying the beach, or simply taking in the spectacular sunsets, every moment felt magical. We left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to returning. Mahalo to the entire Moana Surfrider team for making our Hawaiian vacation so unforgettable. I highly recommend this beautiful resort to anyone looking for an authentic Waikiki experience

Ocean Suite

BKSNtravel (Indianapolis, Indiana) on Jul 01, 2026

We stayed one night is a beautifully appointed ocean suite. It had two balconies with wonderful views and comfortable chairs. The bed was comfortable. The fitness center was good, neither Peloton was working. We liked that we could go to the other hotels and room charge. The Mai Thai beach bar was great, delicious drinks. The location is right in the heart of it with tons of shopping and restaurants. Beach and pool are small. Very busy and many people everywhere.

Stunning

The hotel is stunning. You feel like royalty coming in. The back patio at night is amazing and the beach is lovely. We did wish the pool was bigger for our family and not just packed with little kids. But overall, love the location and love the hotel itself.
