Located in the heart of Waikiki, 2 minutes' walk to Waikiki Beach, Halepuna Waikiki is a luxury boutique hotel surrounded by shopping and dining. The property was designed by internationally acclaimed interior design firm, Champalimaud and features works of several Hawaiian artists in partnership with The Honolulu Museum of Art public art program. Excellent location. Very modern and clean hotel with friendly staff located just a few meters from the ocean. We had a room on the 18th floor with a direct ocean view, so we enjoyed watching the sunset over the ocean while sitting on the balcony. We were also able to enjoy live Hawaiian music every night from the sister hotel Halekulani across the street. There is a very good restaurant on site so the food was excellent. There are also really good restaurants in the sister hotel Halekulani and we were able to charge everything to the room from there as well. It was also no problem to extend our stay on the day of check out as our flight was at 9pm. Overall one of the best experiences we had on our travels. Highly recommended.

A fresh fruit bowl and signature chocolates welcome guests in each room at Halekulani - NO RESORT FEE. All guest rooms include a luxurious en suite bathroom with plush bathrobes, premium toiletries, marble vanities, deep soaking tub and a separate glassed-in shower. A flat-screen TV is also provided. 10 should not be a ceiling for rating some accommodations because Halekulani deserves more than that! From location, the luxury of the hotel itself, the staff (oh man, you can't describe in words how everyone made our stay a blast). The valley parking was super quick and our ride was always ready on time. We were also able to borrow beach towels and the best thing actually happened after our checkout. Due to our late flight we were still able to access the facilities like gym or amenities room for shower after a day spent at the beach and hiking. So yeah, this resort was wow and I have a feeling we'll be back!

Situated 300 feet above the sea with sweeping views of three Hawaiian Islands, Hotel Wailea, Relais & Chateaux - Adults Only features luxurious facilities and spacious suites.

Guests can enjoy the stunning views of the ocean. Everything about Hotel Wailea is amazing. The food is incredible - The Birdcage, The Restaurant, and even the poolside food. We also did the luxe picnic and that food was fantastic as well. The hotel really goes out of their way to provide a quiet, romantic, and unique experience. The suites are large, well furnished, and comfortable. There is even a small kitchen with nespresso, a toaster, microwave, plates and utensils, refrigerator, freezer, cups. No, it’s not on the beach… however, if you want to go, let them know which beach and they’ll provide you chairs and an umbrella and they’ll drop you off and come pick you up. It’s absolutely worth the price for the serenity: nothing is crowded, no fighting for pool chairs or dinner reservations.

A flat-screen cable TV, a refrigerator and electric tea kettle are offered in each bright, modern room at Shoreline Hotel Waikiki.

The personnel was also really helpful during my whole stay. The pool on the roof was the cherry on top.

Great staff and extremely clean room. The balcony was refreshing and great to step out on.
