This hotel would rate a 21/2 stars in my book. It definitely "grew on us" as our stay went on. Location (just a couple of blocks from Waikiki Beach and shopping and restaurants) made it a good find forus. The staff is friendly and helpful. We would return, but yo need to be aware that it is not on the... More

Hotel was close to everything, the beach, the shops and the restaurants all were within 1 to 3 blocks of hotel. Front Desk personal were very helpful and we were checked in and out very quickly.

My family and I stayed here on our first trip to Oahu last year. When we arrived, their were two employees behind the desk. One was helping another customer the other seemed to be avoiding helping us. She walked away from the desk a few times, then unhappily asked us if we needed help. When she looked up our reservations... More

Aloha "CindeeC", I am sorry we were not able to meet your expectations. Arriving at the hotel after traveling with children must be exhausting. And then to find we did not have your reservation.

I traveled alone from Japan, so I was anxious about staying. But once I checked in, hospitality of this hotel really moved me! 1)Japanese female staff was quite considerate; she speaks Japanese very well and gave me a lot of information about staying. When I asked her to change the room because of noise from the next room, she was... More

My husband and I stayed here a while ago. The location is great. It's within walking distance of cool waikiki shops (pretty much the only reason we'd hang out in waikiki), close to the beach and other nicer beachfront hotels that have lovely bars you can easily walk down to and get a cocktail at sunset. Our first room was... More

We booked this hotel and stayed last week. The room is on 2nd floor with no views at all. There's a fee for parking but we are lucky to find free spot on street. In room wired internet access for free. But the room itself is too tiny, bathroom could only fit in one person. It has microwave, fridge, etc.... More

I have been to Oahu approximately 17 times and have stayed at the Aqua Aloha Surf 7 times. My last visit was the week of 1/10-1/17/2012. I was extremely surprised at the poor service.
