My husband and I are newlyweds, came here for our Honeymoon, & we absolutely fell in love all over again at the Halekulani. While it was definitely a splurge, i considered it as an investment in our mental & physical health. Mental bc this hotel is tucked away from the hustle & bustle of other Waikiki hotels & physical bc you have to walk a bit farther to get to the nightlife. Even then, the Halekulani is still at the center of Waikiki & it was a pleasure to stroll down the beach boardwalk & walkable streets to get to our desired locations. We stayed in rm 537, which had an oceanview to the right side of our balcony. It was heavenly. The bathroom was equipped with a Japanese toilet seat (bidet, heated), which was always a treat to settle into. Besides spending too much time in our luxurious bedroom & balcony, we lounged by the pool everyday & ventured to the beach right by the pool. The ocean was perfect & Halekulani def has the best beach property among all the hotels in spite of its smaller size—it’s more secluded & therefore romantic. Especially with Covid, staying away from strangers was important for us. We only left yesterday, & already, our hearts ache for the Halekulani. OH & I forgot to mention— definitely opt for the everyday breakfast deal, which gives you access to two of the hotel’s three...My husband and I are newlyweds, came here for our Honeymoon, & we absolutely fell in love all over again at the Halekulani.

OH & I forgot to mention— definitely opt for the everyday breakfast deal, which gives you access to two of the hotel’s three highly rated restaurants. We ate at Orchids everyday except for our last day, we decided to try House without a Key. Also!! If you come to this hotel, highly recommend booking a sunset dinner at one of the restos (we would have done House without a Key if we knew better about La Mer, which was overrated to us.) they have live music from 5:30 to around 8! Sadly we spent this hour of time napping lol. Anyways, again, the Halekulani is a literal slice of heaven on earth. dont forget to tip the staff!!More
