“Unbeaten value for money”

I am almost hesitant to write about this hotel as given the location and price it represents the very best. Although rated at 3.5 stars it compares well with some 4-5 star hotels worldwide. There is no restaurant but the 24 hour diner next door and incredibly close proximity to other restaurants mean that this is not an issue at all. Unbeaten location and internal parking, with good security, means that getting round is easy. If you don't have a car - no problem as the shopping bus is right outside your door and the public bus system literally a few steps away. As I was there for a family reunion it meant that I saw many other hotels where family was staying and I was the lucky one. Would I stay there again - without doubt!

“Absolutely Perfect for the Money”

The Aqua Palms Hotel is rated as 3 star, however the service, cleanliness and people are 5 star. This hotel is located away from the busier Waikiki beach area but bus or trolley service is right outside your door. 4 block walk to Ala Moana Mall. Check out is at noon, but the Aqua Palms will look after your bags if you have a later flight. We will stay here again.

“Perfect Location”

What a great hotel. I was amazed at how nice it could be for such a great price. walking distance from lots of great places. Ala Moana to your right and waikiki beach to your left.

“Wonderful hospitality, perfect location and great price”

We had a wonderful stay at the Aqua Palms! Our Partial City View room was on the 9th floor and on the rear side of the building so we heard no street noise. Got a great room rate through Expedia. The Expedia agent also put in a good word for us and when we arrived at the hotel at 9am just hoping to drop off our luggage, front desk told us our room was ready and we could check in straight away and join the other guests for breakfast. Our room was neat and clean and still quite new. Room size was reasonable and certainly not an issue considering we were out enjoying Hawaii for most of the day. Bathroom was small but clean and new. Hotel location was perfect. 10 minutes walk to beach and Waikiki in one direction, 10 minutes to Ala Moana Center (with major bus interchange) in the other direction. Great if you are using TheBus to go sightseeing outside of Waikiki. The continental breakfast of muffins, croissants and fruit is light and healthy and a refreshing way to start the day. Pool and fitness centre are both quite small. Get the same (or better) experience by swimming at a beach or doing a nature hike. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful in providing information, beach towels, timely wake up calls and arranging our taxi to the airport. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends.

“great hotel”

very satisfied with hotel. convenient to shopping, beach...etc. would definitely stay again. only bummer was the daily parking fee :(

“Great Place to stay”

I want to say that this place is awesome, very close to the beach and right in the center of everything. The staff was A+ very helpful and friendly/

“good location, that is all about!”

this place was just great location!

“Great Value”

This was a great place to stay if you are on a budget. Short walking distance to the beach. Great breakfast place right next door. Easy access to the bus system. The staff was helpful. The room was clean and cheerful.

“comfortable and convenient”

Staff were friendly, rooms clean although compact. Pool was on the small side but not utilized by many so this wasn't a problem. Convenient to most activities we desired - beach, Ala Moana, Waikiki. Will stay here again for an overnight/ weekend. Everything we needed as a family and nothing we didn't need.

“Quiet and comfortable”

We really enjoyed staying here. The staff were extremely helpful & there was an Expedia Concierge right there, who was terrific! The room was very quiet- we did not hear anything inside our room - a big plus. The bed was comfortable. It is very easy to get around Waikiki from here, some interesting places within walking distance. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.
