Top Waipio Hotel Reviews

Waikiki Malia

10/10 Excellent

"Willa and victor are the best! The customer service was on point. We stayed for 4 nights. They had a mini fridge in the room, a microwave, ice and water in the hall. Only down side of the room was the firm bed for us older generation. We were able to get fresh towels frequently. The hotel is in a key street making it easy to get to destinations. The pool, jacuzzi, and gym were small but nice to use. I would say they did get crowded often. No breakfast only free coffee. Yes the room was air conditioned."

Airport Honolulu Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

2/10 Terrible

"I was greeted with bugs inside the sink when we first arrived, fridge wasn’t working and rotten our food, maintenance guy walked in our room to check on the fridge next day not knowing they switched out the night before. Unprofessional! Rooms need new pillows! Our pillows were worn out! Hand soap, lotion, gel, shampoo and conditioner was half empty when we arrived. Very poor! Get it together! This used to be my favorite hotel not no more."

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great price for a beachfront Waikiki hotel, the parking is a little costly, but the valet crew is pretty fast once you text them. The breakfast at the coconut club is a great deal and has an awesome view. The room was decent. One thing to note is that my room had a constant whistle from the wind blowing, with the sliding door closed. A little irritating at times and the first time I’ve experienced anything like it at a Waikiki hotel."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk

8/10 Good

"Visited this hotel as a family of four and stayed in an 2 bedroom suite. We loved the free breakfasts in the mornings, this was very helpful for us on a trip to Oahu! Overall, the food was good and the omelettes were really good. The breakfast staff were friendly and we looked forward to seeing them in the mornings. The rooms were clean and TVs were easy to use and the WiFi was stable. The ABC Store is right across the street which was convenient. The beach is a couple blocks from the hotel. We had a city view room but still had a decent view of the ocean from the balconies. Our only complaint was that we had to keep asking for clean towels but housekeeping would bring them pretty quickly. Other than that, no other complaints. Check in was smooth and all amenities well explained. The valet parking was a little pricey but the valet were quick and would open our doors upon each arrival and departure. Would stay here again if fortunate enough to visit Honolulu in the future."

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.
