Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

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 280000 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.

The front desk staff was unfriendly upon arrival. The presidential suite was NOT clean. When requested to have someone come to clean, they NEVER showed up. We made "spa" appointments for massages expensive... NO SPA it is literally a masseuse in a stinky GYM. You are exposed to all that randomly show up to work out. $500 spent. Unsafe,… Read more
The front desk staff was unfriendly upon arrival. The presidential suite was NOT clean. When requested to have someone come to clean, they NEVER showed up. We made "spa" appointments for massages expensive... NO SPA it is literally a masseuse in a stinky GYM. You are exposed to all that randomly show up to work out. $500 spent. Unsafe, Unrelaxing, and Overpriced! No way to cancel, because you have to do that 24 hours in advance. The Pool was Freezing and had about 2 hours of good sun. And, do not go into the LONG board room and pay $40 per person per day. Well, if you like runny eggs and dry muffins.... not worth the cost. Read less

I had an amazing stay at Alohilani Resort in Waikiki Beach. The valet service was outstanding—quick, friendly, and attentive, offering helpful local tips. The resort itself is beautiful, with top-tier amenities like an incredible infinity pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and excellent dining options. Its prime location, steps from the beach and surrounded by shops and restaurants, makes it ideal for both relaxation and exploration. I highly recommend Alohilani for anyone visiting Waikiki!

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was clean, the towels were so soft, the bed was comfortable and every staff member that we encountered was very friendly. The Swell Pool area was amazing. Great location. Would highly recommend!

This was my fifth stay at the Alohilani. It is a wonderful hotel at the convenient, peaceful location and is a great value for the amenities available. I particularly appreciate the service, the gym and the pool. I experienced some issues and they were rectified

The recent reviews had me a little worried about my stay but I am happy to say I made the right choice booking here! It is not a 5 star hotel and you can see the wear and tear of the property but it is clean, the location is AMAZING and the amenities are superb.
