Top Waipio Hotel Reviews

Airport Honolulu Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"From the shuttle to the check in/out, everything was great!"

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay did not work out so we had to find a last minute lodging. We relied & trusted reviews & chose Holiday Inn Express at Waikiki which we were very grateful of. PROS: 1. The lady in charge of the 15th floor did not miss cleaning our room daily. We did not need to ask. She even asked if we needed anything else. She was very nice, always present & approachable. 2. Buffet breakfast is exceptional. We were amazed with lots of people staying in this hotel & staff catered to everyone’s needs. They picked up plates & trays & cleaned tables promptly to be available for the next guests. 3. Since we were there already in Honolulu with our luggages, we were accommodated for early check in & were in our room by 12 noon. 4. Since our flight was scheduled late evening, we were allowed late check out at 1pm. They held our luggages for free while we tried to continue to visit other spots. We ended up staying in their comfortable lobby the remainder of the time until it was time to head to the airport. Lady at the front desk even lent us a key to the bathroom during our wait. CONS: 1. There were only two elevators serving our floor. One was down. There were three other elevators but serving different floors. There was a wait & elevator is mostly packed especially after breakfast. But it was okay for us. They have a lot of guests. 2. Front desk is always busy and has a long line. If assistance is needed, it would be better to be there in person and fall in line. They will gladly help."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very conveniently located across the street from the beach and the view from the ocean front room is fantastic. Chairs and towels are readily available to bring to the beach, which is included in the resort fee. Staff is helpful and polite. However, this is not a luxury property. The rooms are pretty basic with limited storage so pack light. There is only a buffet restaurant, for dinner which is very limited and the beach cafe which is outside dining. The beach cafe is a convenient and casual option and the food was good. One other note, the layout is confusing and you need to use escalators plus the elevator to get to your room. So, if you forgot something it's a hassle to go back to the room. Overall, it is pleasant place to stay. It's everything you need, as long as you are not expecting a 5-star experience."

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.
