"What a nice introduction to Hawaii. The Moana Surfrider is a great old style hotel. Wonderful service, lovely room and much easier to navigate than most of the other large hotels on Waikiki."

"Stayed overnight on my way home to Maui from Japan. So thankful that I was able to check in early and had a very nice ocean view room on the 4th floor with amazing heavenly bed. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and they were able to accommodate a late checkout for me with my Bonvoy Platinum Elite status. Would highly recommend this hotel when staying in Waikiki."

"Beautiful hotel, clean room with a fabulous view of the ocean, Waikiki beach and Diamond Head. We had the brunch and ate lunch in the bar… both a little expensive…. but also very good food and excellent service."

"The positives We stayed in a diamond sea view room which was clean, spacious, well thought out and comfortable with a view that will stay with us forever . A lovely touch on arrival to be given a beautiful fresh Lei made from fresh orchids- beautiful and memorable. The location could not be better, staff over all (I will come back to that) are so friendly and attentive - the breakfast crew are off the charts great. Breakfast is good value with a great team that look after you so well . 49 dollars buffet sets you up for the entire day. The negatives Tiny pool with so very few sun beds with shade that are all taken first thing in the morning. Half a dozen or so on the beach, again all taken first thing … Meaning that you have to pay 100 dollars for two beds and shade at the next hotel or lay on the sand with no shade in red hot heat - it’s a big big big let down . Secondly pay 20 percent tip on everything - but - ask for a small cup of milk for the morning brew in the room ( we ran out of the free pots provided) and you might as well ask for the moon , the reply, politely - no - ask at the bar - ask in the morning - but no one will go out of their way to help - after paying everyone a 20 percent tip - that leaves a sour taste . On balance a good hotel - we will remember the many positives and put the negatives aside . It was a memorable stay - one we will cherish"

"Amazing hotel in an amazing location. We spent there one week and we eould like to do that again. We really like colonial style hotels and Waikiki is absolutely amazing."
