      Beachfront cabana rental for private space was very nice. Great view of Diamond Head. Water, juice and snacks included. Menu for food from hotel was nice for beach food. Service was good. happy that we did this.

      A bit disappointing
      We stayed at Royal Hawaiian and rented one of the cabanas at the Sheraton, number 9. As much as the website mentions water aerobics may cause you concern for some cabanas by the pool, there is no mention that the ocean front ones have a walkway in front of you and the cabanas don’t provide proper shade during the hottest part of the day. We rented a cabana to have shade. Needed to go to the bar to have lunch to get out of the sun. We also did the umbrellas on the beach and they cost less! We will go back to them on the next trip. Go buy better cabanas that provide shade. Also get rid of the red and white towels with all the threads. Looks like the dog played with them.

      Obstructed cabana view at Sheraton pool
      View from cabana 2 at the Sheraton adult poolis 50% obstructed by a pool lift. This should really be disclosed before renting. Recommend cabanas 3 or 4 to avoid obstructed view. Photo is the half that is unobstructed. Otherwise, great service and good privacy.

      Chairs/umbrella not worth it for us.
      Reserved chairs/umbrellas in advance which is what you need to do. Nice, friendly service. However, it is not something we would do again. The setup is quite a distance from the shoreline and we really didn’t have a view. Umbrella was small by most standards and barely offered shade for only one chair. $70 + tax, a lot to pay for what we got. This was through the Royal Hawaiian hotel where we stayed.

      Great service and good quality
      Kind and courteous staff, friendly and helpful! We used them three times on our trip and were pleased each time. My wife left her hat at the beach and they called us to tell us they’d have it for us whenever we wanted to pick it up. So helpful. Chairs were comfortable enough and umbrellas were the best we saw on Waikīkī Beach.

      Refreshing water activity
      I highly recommend this activity and I would do it again. Aaron, Russell and Connor were fabulous! They explained how we need to paddle first and we paddled out to a good spot. Paddling over big waves on the way out was fun. The best part was of course catching waves and riding them towards the shore. I got drenched. SO refreshing each time. The guys were generous bringing us out more times and for longer to get better waves. I really appreciate that! Doing something active on the water right away in the morning was a great start to my day. TIPS: meet at towel stand by the pink umbrellas. They will hold your belongings. My Rx sunglasses stayed on and my husband’s hat stayed on.

      Relaxation Made Easy at Waikiki Beach!”
      5-Star Review: Waikiki Beach Services Highly recommend renting chairs and umbrellas from Waikiki Beach Services! They made our beach day so much more enjoyable and relaxing. The setup was super convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My only wish is that the chairs were available a bit later in the day so we could fully soak in the sunset. Overall, a fantastic experience!

      A Blast
      While hanging out at the beach I see this canoe go by with a bunch of people smiling and laughing. The next day I just happened to be in that area and decided to book it. Boy was I surprised once we paddled out and caught that first wave, it was exhilarating along with the water blast and the speed we got. I have to say it was probably the most fun thing we did while we were there. Thanks for adding some excitement to my trip

      Incredible experience!!
      Mason was awesome and had my teen year old daughter up and surfing for the first time in minutes. I ended up getting a lesson with him as well and he had me surfing in minutes, we even had a great conversation and he showed me how to watch the waves. I learned a lot in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend them to any one of any skill level or age!!

      Loved the mini cabanas!
      We rented two of the mini cabanas (#8 & #13) at the Sheraton's Helumoa pool & couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time at the pool. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Views of the beach from #13 were absolutely awesome! Our boys used the #8 cabana because it was closest to the water slide & just a few steps away from Baskin Robbin's. Oh, & they'll serve drinks/food to your cabana too!

      Nice beachside cabana
      We rented a 2 person mini cabana at the Helumoa poolside in the Sheraton Waikiki. These mini cabana are dotted around the family pool so you can expect a little noise, hustle and bustle. We chose #11 which faced away from the pool, towards the ocean. We were quite happy with this choice, the only minor irritant being that there is a path between you and the ocean so you get a constant trail of people back and forth. If you want tru privacy - go to the cabanas at the EDGE pool (we did the next day). There is regular attendant service from about 11am to 4pm with the menu essentially being whatever is available at RumFire in restaurant in the hotel. Overall, a rental fee of $125+tax for the day is not too bad.

      We rented chairs and umbrella at the Sheraton Waikiki. Staff is friendly. Just beware that your neighbor’s umbrella may block all your sun. We left early because of that. Disappointing waste of money.

    My 15 year old son and 13 year old daughter had a surf lesson with Mason and had a fabulous experience! They both came back all smiles and this was one of their favorite things of our whole vacation. He was a great instructor, patient and fun! Both successfully got up and rode some waves!
