Beautiful resort, nice people however not relaxing! Don’t book here unless you like to spend your vacation waiting in lines. You have to be in line at 6am to even have a chance of being able to pay $85 for a beach chair, gym is sub par, wait for breakfast is at least 30 minutes, bakery has a huge line and then just closes at noon.Had a voucher for Daly muffins but unable to use for this reason.

An absolute must for anyone interested in history and having the resources. We stayed in the historic, original hotel. Room was nice and vintage…but not run down. We had the “resort view”, which was fine. Just on thing would have been nice….a microwave in the room. We are out a lot, no surprise, had leftovers which would have been much more palatable if heated. I thought the $700/night was a little steep…but major splurge for our family. You only live once!

First class employees, superb food and cocktails, gorgeous public rooms and restaurants, beautiful boutiques in the hotel, fantastic bellmen and valet parking attendants, lovely reception desk staff and concierge, very attentive waiters, super clean rooms, ultra comfortable beds, outstanding air conditioning system, gorgeous settings for weddings and other private receptions and dinners.

My mom and I loved this hotel. We chose The Royal Hawaiian because our Ukrainian ancestors immigrated to Oahu. They were musicians and played at this hotel in 1920s in the ballroom. My mom and I were celebrating a special occasion. The moment we arrived, to the time we left, everything went smoothly. We even went through the biggest storm in 20 years! We loved Yoga, and Yoga Nidra every morning. Swimming in the pool. Walking along the beach at night listening to music. Our room on the 11th floor had a balcony over looking the ocean with a gorgeous view to watch the sunsets. The beds were comfortable. The staff was courteous and helpful. I have to say that our housekeeper, Elsa, was especially wonderful and friendly. She made our rooms feel fresh every day with so much care. We’ll definitely return here the next time we come. Thank you so much.

Our stay at the The Royal Hawaiian was amazing! The ocean view is absolutely beautiful, and the entire atmosphere is filled with kindness. A special shout out to our housekeeper, Elsa. We stayed on the 11th floor room 1106. She was the best! So kind, always greeting us by name, and made our stay feel extra special. The luau was a great experience with a variety of food and cultural insight, and the location is perfect. It's right on the beach with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend! ??
