Fodor's "This historic beauty—the oldest hotel in Waikiki—is still a wedding and honeymoon favorite with a sweeping main staircase and period furnishings in its historic Moana wing." Full review

"As Waikiki's first hotel, the 1901 plantation-style oceanfront Moana Surfrider offers a dose of historic charm on one of the nicest -- albeit most congested -- stretches of Waikiki Beach." Full review
Lonely Planet "The hotel's selling point is the historic main building: non-guests as well as guests are free to sit on the nostalgic, front-porch rocking chairs." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Meticulously restored 1901 Beaux-Arts property—the first hotel on Waikiki Beach—with an Old Hawaii vibe (afternoon tea is de rigueur), plus one of Waikiki's only beachfront spas." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Teatime on the Banyan Veranda will carry you back in time; enjoying contemporary Hawaiian entertainment in the same stunning setting is a highlight of any visit."
Star Service "Located in the heart of old and new Waikiki, this hotel shares this famous stretch of the beach, as well as the top of the ranks, with its historic peer, the superior Royal Hawaiian." Full review
Gayot "Built in 1901, this hotel deserves its title as The First Lady of Waikiki."
BlackBook "At more than 100 years old, the Moana has retained its graciousness over the years. Heavy dose of charm offers relief in a jungle of post-70's behemoths."

""Sip high tea on the veranda" of this "beautifully maintained" beachfront "legend", and be sure to "snag a rocking chair" on the porch to soak up the "gracious" "old-style Hawaii" ambiance."
Condé Nast Traveler "The hotel is one of Waikiki's most historic, having opened in 1901; despite renovations and rebranding, it has maintained its classic appeal." Full review

"With its all-suite guest rooms (one and two bedrooms), this Embassy Suites is a favorite among travelers looking for extra wiggle room and easy access to the beach." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Just a block from the ocean, this all-suite hotel consists of two 21-story towers framing the Waikiki Beach Walk shopping mall, which houses 40 stores and six restaurants." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the mixed-use Beach Walk development, this all-suite operation is one of the cornerstones of Beachwalk Street's 21st-century renaissance." Full review
Gayot "In a town where hotel rooms rule and larger accommodations usually mean two rooms adjoining or adjacent, it is great to know that Embassy Suites has moved into the Waikiki Beach Walk area."
BlackBook "What a great addition to suite starved Waikiki. The modern and bright one and two bedroom suites provide ample room for those with Hawaii family vacations in mind."
Lonely Planet "Near the beach, restaurants and nightlife...beige and brown suites big enough for families or groups. Each suite comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, sofa bed, one or two bedrooms and balcony." Full review
