We stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks and here are some notes for future travelers: * before booking via Expedia or other sites, it is a very good idea to check the hotel web site, become a loyalty member (no cost) and then look for the rate, especially if you are staying 7 days or longer, if you plan on renting a vehicle. They may waive the resort free, all or part of the valet parking charges etc. so you may be better off. Of course, check the other web sites for comparison. When combined with flights, you may still be better off with Expedia or Booking.com etc. * Breakfast is included and it's pretty decent. The hard-boiled eggs every 2 of 3 days get somewhat boring, but it's a great money saver and you can start your day early! There is fresh fruit and great cinnamon bread. No scrambled eggs or over-easy, sunny-side etc though, if that's your fancy. * The sitting arrangement for breakfast is a bit of an issue if you have back problems and you don't get to sit at one of the few 'normal' tables. * They have a couple of water dispenser machines in the lobby for free. It's great tasting, cold water that also helps you keep costs down. * The hotel is literally 3 minutes from Waikiki beach! The hotel provides free of charge all sorts of beach stuff: umbrella, chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. Take advantage. * The rooms are not very big, but decent and cleaned every day. They also change towels/bed sheets etc. on your request every day if you desire. * Staff is very accommodating and helpful. We were especially impressed with Arnel who worked at the valet parking. * There is no pool at the hotel (of course the beach is very close). This may be an issue if you travel with young children and want to relax for a few hours by the pool-side at the hotel without packing everything up for the 3-minute trip o the beach with small kids... Overall, the friendly staff, free breakfast, being close to the beach make this hotel a good option if you are on a budget. Recommend!…

Hotel's Favorite
Vive Hotel Waikiki exceeded my expectations. I solely based my booking on price and after reading a few reviews online. We booked an entire week and were a bit nervous that it wouldn’t be all that great. We were wrong! We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the hotel was. Starting with the complementary cold pineapple juice given to us at arrival. The check in process with quick and easy. They even asked us if we were celebrating a special occasion. We happen to be celebrating a late honeymoon and to our surprise we found a nice gift hanging from our room door the following day! I thought that was a nice touch on behalf of the hotel and staff. The hotel was really clean and nicely furnished. We booked a queen bed room which was perfect for 2 people. I really liked the retractable clothes hanger in the shower for you to hang wet clothes. I thought it was a clever idea. The bed was nice and comfortable. The lobby serves breakfast which was something that we were looking for in a hotel to save money on at least one meal a day. There are also a variety of board games and books in the lobby in case you have a rainy day. Another great amenity this hotel offers are beach chairs, beach umbrellas, body boards, beach towels and more for FREE if you book directly through their website. That’s a big saving compared to renting all that stuff each day and since the hotel is only a 3 minute walk to the beach it’s perfect! Now on to the staff! The staff is what really makes this place great! They are so friendly and made us feel right at home. From the front desk staff, Anderson, Bryson and another young man whose name I don’t remember to the valet staff, Arnel, Richard and Franklin, you guys were awesome! I can’t say enough good things about this hotel and the staff! Thank you you guys. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again and will recommend this boutique hotel to all of our friends who plan to visit Waikiki. Keep up the great work!…

Vive Hotel is located a 3 minute walk from central Waikiki beach. It is nearby to many food options ranging from nice restaurants, quick meals and fast food. The hotel is located a short walk from many shops, restaurants, convenience stores and surfboard vendors. The hotel provides a great breakfast of freshly made foods and all day coffee. The breakfast is easily the best hotel breakfast I've had, especially considering the price of the hotel. It saved us both money and a lot of time trying to find a suitable breakfast before our daily activities. The hotel provides beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, matts, and boogie boards, free of charge or deposit. The parking was the cheapest I could find in the area, was onsite, and confident and hassle free. Our room was facing the street and road noise a little loud at night. Overall I was extremely impressed with the Vive Hotel's services and price. 100% would stay here again. …

Had the best time here - the hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We switched to this hotel as there were issues with our original spot and they accommodated us quickly and were over the top nice and helpful. Can’t say enough great things. They also left a little birthday surprise in the room as I was celebrating while there. Very thoughtful.

Really nice, comfortable and clean hotel, with breakfast included. 3 blocks away from beach. Rooms are small and AC is noisy, but is a small issue for what you can get with a fair price. Staff are really nice and attentive, they can offer you beach elements like towels and chairs.

Although our room was very small, the friendly staff, the excellent breakfasts and the availability of beach equipment made up for it. We enjoyed conversing with fellow travellers over breakfast and it felt more like a home than a hotel.

Can't say enough about the Aloha Spirit that the Vive staff show and exemplify. They are willing to help in so many ways and go above and beyond. Vive is conveniently located. . . walking distance to Waikiki Beach, the best musubi, poke, international cuisine, and shopping. Though the rooms are small, everything appears to be quite clean. I'll definitely stay here again.

The downstairs area and complimentary breakfast were good. The room was a reasonable size and comfortable, but I could hear noise from the street through the window and the air con unit was loud, so I had to sleep with ear plugs in. The staff were very helpful and friendly, including Princess, who checked me in. The location is within a short walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. Overall, what you would expect for a 3* hotel.

I will be relay your feedback regarding the AC to our maintenance team and we will do our best to address your concerns. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future. Mahalo, Vive Staff and Management
