South O'ahu Pet-friendly Vacations

super cute boutique hotel

We had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. We didn’t know they were undergoing renovations, and that meant the gym was closed during our visit. They also charge for wifi, and a $50 resort fee per day for “amenities” that were largely closed during our visit due to bad weather. While I totally understand they can’t control the weather, charging people for it when everything is closed is in poor taste. When I inquired about it, they said it goes towards things like the coffee in the room and sunscreen at the pool (pool was closed the whole time, and coffee? That’s a normal inclusion at any other hotel. Some of the staff were helpful and some were not. The servers at Dukes were lovely, as was the breakfast buffet (albeit pricey). The valet was great. Some of the front desk were great and some were not. Overall, it was just an ok hotel. If I was to stay again in Waikiki I’d pick the beachcomber across the street with better facilities and friendlier staff.

The housekeeper we would ask for assistance was excellent!

everything was great!

We had a Dolphin Lanai for a week and it was amazing. The room was quiet, spacious and scrupulously clean. The entire staff resort were so helpful and courteous. Shuttle was convenient to downtown Waikiki. Beach was lovely. Hotel restaurants were delicious if a little pricey.

We had a wonderful 4 days at turtle bay. We were able to see whales from our hotel balcony and really enjoyed the beach and pools.

The staffs were very nice. The rooms were neat with beautiful views. But most of my shows were canceled. For example the Luau show was canceled, no extra activities were created indoor for other intertainments. No welcome activities for the new guests. After that everything was well.

We feel right at home at the Royal Hawaiian. We will not stay anywhere else. The hospitality and kindness of the staff are beyond perfect. Many of the staff have worked there for many many years and we enjoy seeing them every time we go. They obviously must treat the employees as well as they do the patrons!

Great location and staff!

I had corner unit so I overlooked at Bay great firework show on Friday night from Balcony loud cruisers in evening with blaring music heard all the way up to 16th floor not in properties control, Shopping Ala Moana mall almost attached convenient bridge to walk across with out have to cross streets

A bit dated room but good location. Amenities are great and beach access was very close.

This is a special place, and I really enjoyed my stay here. The morning yoga classes on the floating dock were exceptional. Just be aware it is a 3-star resort, so don't expect the units to be in top condition. Cleanliness could be better (corners, top of the fridge), though overall acceptable (linens and towels were clean). Overall a very peaceful spot with amenities to offer and friendly staff. Oh, and the daily banana bread was delicious (and vegan, which was a pleasant surprise).
