Royal Hawaiian oasis in Waikiki
Philip S on Dec 06, 2025
We have always wanted to stay here. Fantastic location on Waikiki beach, In 1927 when the Royal Hawaiian Hotel opened it was the only luxury hotel . It is not just a hotel it is an experience whether you are enjoying the beach, the gardens or the rocking chairs the grandeur of the 1920's is present . We stayed in an original hotel room which you enter by opening a solid wood carved door , very very comfortable bed and lovely and quiet due to the thick walls which you don't get anywhere else. For the restful room with all the inclusions and the ambiance I think it is good value. Very clean and the staff will do anything for you and you feel they do want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Great amenities as you would expect from a 5 star hotel
100% Agree, No Aloha!
TommyBoy1378 (Santa Barbara, California) on Nov 29, 2025
I 100% agree with many fellow travelers that the Royal Hawaiian has lost its Aloha. Getting the “Royal” treatment is gone as many have stated. Elite status, suite upgrade certificates, special occasions etc. are now meaningless. Rooms are in serious need of maintenance and updating. Rumor has it a major update is coming in 2026 or 2027 but who knows. Hotel staff is a mixed bag of snarky, grumpy, phony and a small amount that seem happy to be working there (mostly bell personal that strive for tips.) Rooms are small, bathrooms smaller. Beach is large and crowded; pool is small and crowded. Hallways are long and hot, lines are long and hot. Resort fees are high, room rates are high, beach chairs are high, food and beverages are high. That’s right, you guessed it, your final bill with be HIGH! I have no problem paying high prices when you’re given amazing service and you get high quality items/goods/rooms etc. Bottom line, if you’re looking for Aloha in all the right places, look elsewhere. There are many hotels and resorts close by to chose from that still give you the “Royal Treatment” just not the Royal Hawaiian.
