Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Parking"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"The location is great, but parking is $69 per night. The biggest issue was the constant cigarette smoke coming from all directions. We could not use the balcony or leave the door open without smoke entering the room. I reported it to the staff multiple times, and each time I was told security would arrive shortly, but no one ever came. As a result, the issue was never resolved during our stay with kids."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it! The complimentary breakfast was great as there are many options to choose from. Location is great because it’s so close to everything but in a bit quieter area. ABC stores are a block away and bus stop too. Hotel room was very clean and had housekeeping every day. All staff are extremely kind and helpful. Only thing I would say, as most people say as well, is that the elevators are a bit slow but it is expected as the hotel is HUGE with 44 floors and everyone trying to use the elevators at the same time so that’s expected. Other than that, loved it and would definitely stay here again! This stay definitely made my trip to Hawaii great! I stayed on the 29th floor and had a partial ocean view room which was an amazing view! Got to see the amazing skyline, mountains, freeway and the blue ocean waters!"

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"Location was amazing, across the street from Waikiki beach. We had a partial ocean view which faced west so the views from the room, especially in the evening, were great. I can't speak for the Seascape tower as we were placed in the Beachside tower but I wouldn't stay on that side of the resort again if I had a choice. The room we stayed in was dated yet partially renovated. Some newer fixtures and furnishings however the hinges on all of the doors were rusted, shower fixtures had really bad limescale buildup, and the wallpaper seemed like it was lifting at the seams. A little disappointing for the price point but it has an ABC store connected to it so you don't have to leave the building for last minute needs, which was really convenient. Housekeeping staff was super friendly and accommodating. 3.5/5"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Waipio?

While Waipio Valley is a stunning natural wonder, it's important to note that access to the valley floor is strictly restricted to residents and permitted vehicles only, making it unsuitable for overnight stays for most visitors. Therefore, the best areas to stay for those wishing to visit the Waipio Valley overlook and explore the surrounding region are the nearby towns of Honoka'a and Waimea.

Honoka'a, located about 20 minutes east of the Waipio Valley overlook, offers a good base for exploring the Hamakua Coast. This small, historic town has a main street, Mamane Street, lined with a few local shops, eateries, and art galleries. It provides a convenient and quieter option for those who appreciate local charm and want to be close to the valley's viewpoint.

Waimea, situated further inland and about a 45-minute drive from the Waipio Valley overlook, is a larger and more developed town. It's known for its ranching heritage and offers more dining and accommodation choices, from boutique hotels to vacation rentals.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.
