Top Makiki Forest Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra

8/10 Good

"Decent rooms. Long wait times for most things: valet, elevators, etc. Amenities okay"

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The overall experience was amazing! Everyone was very friendly and willing to help you at the drop of a dime. The food was absolutely fantastic, a bit pricey but what isn’t in Waikīkī? Get the regency club it’s worth it for the breakfast alone. I would suggest if you’re going to get a car you rent it in the hotel so you get valet parking at no additional cost. The parking deck sucks! There was a free performance right outside the resort on Saturday night. The views are spectacular all the way around the resort so there is no such thing as a bad room. The room was clean with plenty of linens. The lobby is just breath taking, with lots of plants and trees and a couple of waterfalls coming down from the third floor. There is a small shopping center inside the resort with a pretty good coffee shop that I visited a few times. You’re within walking distance of all the great shops, restaurants, farmers markets and my personal favorite Dukes ally. The pool is slightly heated and the hot tub is huge, and the perfect temperature. You are only a few steps away from the ocean and the drive to all the cool snorkeling spots and sights are manageable from this location. I would highly recommend the Hyatt and I will be staying there again."

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this Hotel. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Located in the perfect spot, everything was within walking distance especially the pick up spots for all the activities we booked."

Pagoda Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and big. I didn’t like the air conditioner turning off and on. It was loud and I couldn’t sleep well. Parking was convenient."
