Top Waikiki Shell Hotel Reviews

The Twin Fin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great hotel if you plan on exploring the island and being close to the waves. We don’t have small children. But they have an activity almost everyday. We didn’t partake in. The restaurant on the rooftop is not affiliated with them. And the new resident on the bottom that serves hotdogs is really good. We utilize them often. They have a hotdog window, but they also have a sitdown restaurant with pretty decent food."

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was not great at all."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location and the restaurants.. very comfortable beds nice view from partial view room. Very clean. Rooms were a little smaller than they appear on line but they were very nice"

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Very good trip, very good hotel in spa. Just some of the in conveniences of fees for hotel, even if you don't get the towels or not, towels still charge a 20 bucks for that plus to 55 every day. Other than that was great"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful, right on Waikiki beach. This was a real treat. I enjoyed the infinity swimming pool. The Ocean View from my room was to die for. They had the pool area lit up beautifully at night. At end of beach you could see Diamond Head. The shops, breakfast and the coffee Café were magnificent. Nicely press coffee. Oh, I so enjoyed. Very close to shops and plenty to see and do. I truly enjoyed my stay. This is the first Hotel review I have ever given. It was because this was a class act all the way. Also, If you forgot anything you had the Macy's nearby and there was nothing you couldn't purchase at an ABC store. I always hung here when I went to Hawaii in the past. Staying as a guest was so much better. I shall be back."
