Pure paradise if you’re heading to Hawaii for its beaches, Alohilani boasts contemporary design and is steps from Waikiki Beach’s exclusive ‘Kuhio’ stretch. You can be snorkelling, surfing or swimming just moments after you arrive. If that’s not enough water, Alohilani Resort’s 280,000 gallon Oceanarium is filled with Hawaiian reef fishes, creating a soothing setting for drinks at O Bar and island breakfasts at Lychee. And, if your aquatic thirst still isn’t quenched, the fifth floor pool deck’s an impeccably chic setting, with its infinity pool, paddling pool, bar, overstuffed teak loungers, driftwood sculptures, and ocean views. You could even splash out on a cabana or water lounger. By night, it’s a magical space with lanterns, fire pits, and live music, ideal after dining in one of its two restaurants led by world-famous ‘Iron Chef’ Masaharu Morimoto.

Where it is lacking--a little run down rooms and a big issue for me not being clean. also the rental items that are available you have to walk 3 blocks to get them and carry yourself down to the beach (which is across the street if you want to stay in the lagoon area only. Also there was a DJ party with some outside hotel promotional even that had questionable audience and was not appropriate to use the pool with the kids during the day.

Unacceptable security breach and zero accountability

One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had, especially for a “5 star” property.

One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had, especially for a “5 star” property.
I stayed at Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach on 1 January and paid around USD $650 for one night. Check in staff were dismissive and unfriendly from the start.
Within about 15 minutes of checking in, an unknown man walked straight into my room with a key. As a woman travelling alone, this made me feel extremely unsafe. After that, reception called asking if I was “a guest” and told me to come downstairs to verify myself, despite the fact I had just checked in. Being questioned like I was an intruder immediately after a stranger entered my room was completely unacceptable.
I raised this directly with the hotel and through Booking.com and received no response. The hotel later publicly replied to my Google review asking me to email guest services, and I emailed multiple times, but still received absolutely no response. Their public replies are ONLY for show, not real customer care, and they clearly do not care about providing any resolution even after a serious safety breach.
A serious security failure, poor handling, and then complete silence. Do not stay here.

Location great, rooms basic
Mar 30, 2026James W
The reception looks amazing but the rooms are not 5-star. The linen was basic and the mounted bathroom product on the wall felt like a 3-star hotel. Location is amazing right across street from beach.
Love this hotel.

Great hotel, incredible food. Would stay here again.
Amazing hotel, amazing staff

We love this hotel. The staff from the front desk to sales and catering are all amazing with great hospitality! The hotel location is perfect- close to the beach, shops and restaurants that are all within walking distance. I highly recommend!
