Make sure to try the Moana Sunset tea , a heady blend of ohelo berries and mango with black tea . Don't miss the treat that comes at the end—a tiny scoop of lemongrass-green tea sorbet .
If you can get a table at the beach bear , this is a really nice spot for a cocktail and nibbles. Not so kid friendly as it is a little posh, but a memorable experience - LOVE THIS HOTEL ! Read more
The two best things about the Moana Surfrider are its prime beach location and The Beach Bar with its strong drinks , respectable food, and fast service . Also, a great view during lunch !
This is the first hotel to open on Waikiki Beach back in 1901. This is without a doubt the classiest hotel in Waikiki with a rich history. The architecture displays true Hawaiian style .
Excellent place to stay right on Waikiki beach and within walking distance of great shops and food. Service was excellent
Great for history buffs, not a lively place . Street side rooms are noise starting at 7am. Old photos and historic info on the 2nd floor. Rocking chairs on 1st and 2nd floor for people watching .
This is gorgeous hotel with great staff and service. The increase of street performers have made it SO loud in city view rooms. Not the hotel 's fault but it can negatively affect your experience!
This grandiose white-walled hotel was designed by the architect Oliver Traphagen in the old colonial style and opened in 1901, signifying the birth of the Hawai’ian tourism industry. Read more
You really can't get a more beautiful hotel in Waikiki than this one. Their high tea is great to share with your mom/daughter. And the views of the ocean are spectacular!
Amazing location. Right in the heart of Waikiki and on the beach . Rooms are a bit small. Hotel is over 100 years and a bit dated.
Opened in 1901 & became the largest hotel in Waikiki . In 1905 Jane Standford, Co-Founder of Stanford University died from poisoning in her room, making it one of America’s legendary mysteries.

Really nice hotel ! Oldest in Waikiki. Don't miss the cool little museum and balcony on the second floor
The hotel has a shower room you can rent for those who stayed at the hotel . This allows you to hang out at the beach well after your checkout. The room was very clean and nice.
Beautiful historic hotel , with such close access to the beach !!
Live piano lounge , lots of complimentary goodies, amazing restaurant , great customer service and a beautiful beach
The rocking chairs on the second floor balcony are a hidden secret and a great place to people watch .
Stay in the Tower, Ocean Front Rooms - totally worth it. Here is the view from 1184.
Relaxing at the beach bar...enjoying the warm breeze, the cold drinks, and the clear blue water.
The most BEAUTIFUL resort in Honolulu. Wake up early and relax with some breakfast on the back porch . Can't beat it.
Secret tip: great secluded sunset views from the east side fire escape stairs
Beautiful hotel . If you can afford it, you should definitely stay here for a couple nights.
The umbrellas and chairs on the beach are discounted after noon. We enjoyed the drink service and free ice cold pineapple while lounging there.
Awesome service and hotel . Especially recommend the AfternoonTea on the Beachhouse Verandah!
Magic place, ideally located in the heart of Waikiki .
The lobby is wide open windward. Take a seat and let the wind do its thing on you. So relaxing.
Older property but great location on Waikiki. Can't complain about it being touristy , as you know what you're getting with the location.

Beautiful hotel . Great staff but room service for food is only open from 630am to 10 and you can't get food again until 5pm to 10pm unless you go to the snack bar at the pool
The best place to grab a chill drink by the ocean with live music .
You don't need to be a guest to enjoy the porch chairs out front. Take a load off and people watch .
Beautiful, historic hotel , great staff , incredible location.
Everything! Do the photo-takes. They turn out beautiful.

Split the Waygu beef with your partner for dinner and try the avocado smoothie for breakfast
Cucumber ginger an excellent drink to end the day.
Go up the grand staircase a great history of the hotel . Watch the movie in the viewing theatre
Someone call the United Nations Human Rights Commission because these people just asked me to pay $28 for Eggs Benedict.
Want to play on beach after checkout? No worries! Use one of two free hospitality rooms to shower later in day before heading out.
Glorious view from the suites.
Nice hawiian history museum on 2nd floor also more chairs on the veranda
Chill at the rocking chairs at around 10pm to see interesting things across the street.
Strong and tasty mai tais here. The 10 bucks is worth it.
The line has gotten outrageous lately (thanks to Japanese guidebooks promoting the place). Still, their acaí bowls are large and delicious. Also, their speciality lattes are unique and tasty. - Luke Bornheimer
Classic sunset spot, friendly staff (special mention to Harry) & good selection. Really can't miss :) - Jeffrey Balanag
Ask for a table by the beach and enjoy some brunch. - Richard Jhang
Attended the Luau. The price is more expensive than others but I felt it was worth it. The buffet is delicious and well done. The show and view are the best you can get. Open bar with endless mai tais - Chris O'Brien
Amazing hotel. Service is top notch and the rooms are incredible. We had a spectacular beach view from the 16th floor with a sliver of mountain in the distance. Staff all over the resort were great! - Jay ????
Hot tub and sauna look out over the beach. You can bring your towel down to the public beach and leave your stuff in your locker. - Lily
Ice cream desert is awesome!! Chocolate/whipped cream and nut covered with Oreo crust. The Cajun chicken is better than the bueger also - Kelsey Miller
The change is phenomenal. Beautiful restaurants on the top floor. - flyflyaway ...
