Agoda 9.6 Family

Booking.com 4.0 Solo

Perfect post-marathon relaxation. Amazing staff, gorgeous facility.

Trip.com 7 Family

Room large with good view.

Free-style service, privacy invasion, overpriced basic breakfast, inhumane dolphins.

Castle Waikīkī Shores

Expedia 10.0 Couple

Having a washer and dryer in-unit was great due to the humidity. Proximity to the beach and restaurants is unbeatable.

Agoda 9.6 Family with young kids

Spacious room with kitchen facilities perfect for families. Staff responded quickly to our request for a crib.

Only one elevator, so wait times can be long.

Trip.com 8.0 Family

Great value for the location and view. Very convenient to be right on the beach.

Cleaning fees are separate, and don't expect full hotel-style service.
