We booked our whole holiday,flights transfers & accommodation, with MyHawaii.com and found that they offered great value for money & were very helpful and offered great advice ....next time we would make sure we had at least 3 hours in Sydney to make sure we made our connecting flights without drama, it was a very close thing both ways... The resort was is in a great spot, close to everything. The Expedia booking outlet near reception at the hotel were great organising tours for us.

We stayed at this hotel and loved the location. It was close to everything. Not being on the beach was no factor. It is as close to the beach as some of the hotels on the beach. The veiw from our room as breath taking. We will stay at the hyatt again.

I am a Hyatt Diamond member and love to stay at Hyatts all over. This one in Honolulu is quite unique, and I had a lovely suite with my wife in Feb, 2013. The setting, with built in open air shopping mall as well as its location right in the middle of lots of shopping adds a lot. The Regency Club is on the second floor and has a more extensive food selection than most Regency Clubs, however, it does close fairly early in the evening. The view of Waikiki or Honolulu from the upper floors is stunning! Gym is small, but up to typical Hyatt StayFit standards. Pool/hot tub in center of second floor between the 2 towers is small, but busy and fun (not very quiet, though). Beach is just across a busy street and is similar to the rest of Waikiki, i.e., the most crowded beach in Hawaii.

The Hyatt at Waikiki is right across from the ocean and situated inside a mall. Very good centralized location. There are lots of shops and restaurants within a short walking distance. Also close to the farmers market. At 6 pm you can see luau dancers performing across the street.

Check in was smooth and they offer bottled water. We told the Hyatt we were celebrating our anniversary so they gave us a voucher for sparkling wine at check in. That is very thoughtful of them. If you are celebrating a special event do let them know in advance so they can make it special.

I was somewhat disappointed the rooms were outdated. The carpet in Our connecting room was sticky. I liked that they stocked water in the fridge.

You can borrow lounge chairs, buckets and shovels, intertubes and floating boat toys.

There wasn't a kids pool area so that was a little bummer.

The food at the regency club was decent, nothing spectacular. We stocked up on milk for the kids.
