Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort
Direct access to the beach, and beautiful pool with hot tubs. However, I expected transportation to and from the airport as it was announced online, but there was no shuttle at all for this hotel.

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
The room had a perfect view of Diamond Head and did not disappoint. The room was clean and staff was very helpful and accommodating. The beach was steps to the beach and would stay here again!

Prince Waikiki
If you like access to Waikiki, but don’t want to be in the middle of it all this is a great place to stay. Easy walking to parks and beaches and you’re within a mile of many good restaurants. We thought the room rates were very reasonable for Ocean view of the harbor.
