Let's start with the Pros: -The lobby and grounds are beautiful -It's prime location on the "main drag" through Honolulu -The room was modern and well appointed (but TINY, see Cons below) -The gym was very nice with fancy equipment -Oceanview was nice And the Cons: -We had a room on the historic part of the building. The room was... More

I booked this hotel after arriving in Waikiki and being extremely disappointed with my original booking at a hotel down the road. I had hoped to save some money on my honeymoon by choosing a hotel that was slightly less expensive so that I could spend more on dining and activities. After one night there, my husband and I decided... More

The Moana was as lovely in January 2012 as it was 10 years ago. If you are looking for beach front hotel in Waikiki, the Moana is an excellent choice. You can sit on the veranda and read a book, watch the people and enjoy the breeze. You can rent an umbrella and beach chairs on their private beach just... More

From the moment you pull into the front drive you notice the difference! Old school elegant and the porches front and back make relaxed contemplation of the moment refreshing. I love lunch under the huge banyan tree looking out across Waikiki beach. If you can't relax here partner...you need professional help! More

Moana Surfrider is a gorgeous hotel and the staff is helpful and friendly! The location can't be beat because it's in the heart of Waikiki Beach and is beachfront. More

From our arrival to our departure, this hotel failed in customer service, quality of room for cost and enjoyability. If you are a Japanese bridal couple you might enjoy the hotel as it appeared to us they were the only guests who were really catered to. The front desk staff were rude and unhelpful and our room was tired and... More

Nice hotel, rooms vary based on tower and view. True oceanfront rooms are limited and are expensive. Food is good, both drinks and food are not cheap but that's because you are on the beach at a Starwood property in Waikiki. This is not a resort so don't expect expansive grounds or stretches of beach. The property has a row... More

Don't miss the free historic tour of the hotel. Kehaulani Kim, the Director of Cultural Services, is an extremely knowledgeable guide & brings guests up to date on the hotels storied past. Great tour, ours lasted nearly 2 hours & we got to see a room in one of the hotel's historic wings. More
