"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 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

"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

"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."

"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."

"Halekulani's little-sister property, this 297-room tower isn't beachfront... and has no grounds to speak of. What it does have is terrific bang for your buck."

"The guest rooms in this high-rise complex have modern minimalist furnishings but give a nod to the tropics by keeping plantation-style shutters that open out to the lanai." Full review

"Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price."

"Located across the street from its stellar sibling Halekulani and a two-minute walk from the beach, this is a trendier pocket-size version of its neighbor." Full review
Gayot Gayot
