“Great Location & Value for Money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

This hotel has such a great location, right across the street from the beach at Waikiki and just outside the high-traffic area, but close enough to be in the thick of everything in just 2-3 minutes walk. With an ocean-front room this is just made even better, wonderful sized balcony with perfect sunsets every evening.

The hotel is clean, fresh, (if ever so slightly dated) and all staff are friendly and helpful. I don't understand any of the previous negative reviews. During our visit the majority of guests seemed to be from Japan. This gives the hotel a wonderful atmosphere of actually being somewhere "exotic" and gives the added bonus of green tea in the rooms.

Would I stay here again? Definiteky!
Was I content with the stay? Absolutely.
Would I recommend this hotel to a friend? Yes, yes, yes!

Room Tip: We stayed in room 1025, an "end" room facing the beach with a balcony view in two directio...

“pac beach hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

The hotel was good, it is right in the middle of everything on wakiki beach- you can shop 5 mins after leaving the hotel and of course the beach is right across the street. We had great maid service beds were made with clean sheets and they provide beach towels so no need to pack beach towels. We stayed on the 9th floor and the only drawback was our room backed up to the elevator,it was a little annoying at times but hey we were in Hawaii so we didnt care. They did charge $20/ night for parking which is weird since you already paid for the room. You have to remember which floor you park on in the parking garage and you cannot get to the inside of the hotel from the parking garage elevators which was a pain if you had packages...we had a complimentary b-fast every morning even thou it was the same everyday we ate it. They do cater to Asia/Japenese but then again the whole island is full of them and they tend to be rude, dont say excuse me when they walk into you or cross over in front of you. Overall we plan on returning in the future and would stay at Pac Beach again. P.S NO FREE WIFI!

“OK HOTEL, NASTY OVERPRICED FOOD”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Ocean front rooms have a nice view of the beach, and of the street bums camped out on the park benches. The hotel is across the street from the beach. The food is overpriced the bbq is served cold, and the breakfast buffet is terrible. Expect to pay $20 a day for parking, and $10 a day for wired internet. Also the elevator in the beach tower is very slow and no A/C, all in all skip Waikiki and head for the north shore....

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

10 day stay at the top of the tower. Spectacular view from our balcony and the room was large and airy. Perfect accommodations. My only concern was that the pool deck closes early and we could not enjoy an evening swim or access laundry facilities.

“Perfect Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Although stayed here for a night after signing off from ship , but loved the spacious room the hotel had provided ..Loved the dinner area with aquarium where a girl was diving and had a board in her hands on which it was written "Happy Birthday" ..I think it was for guests who were staying there and had their Birthday on particular date ...Loved that very much ...There were lot of fruits on offer and just loved that ....Staff was very friendly and a very nice service from them ....Hotel was at walking distance from beach and it was at a perfect tourist location with lots of shops around...Although we were looking for Indian Restaurant /Pizza hut , but couldn't find any nearby ...Just loved the stay at this hotel and would love to come back again !!!
