Location, location, location. The housekeeping was great, front desk was helpful and overall a great stay. My only complaints were the lack of amenities in the rooms. It's 2026 and the lack of a coffee maker and microwave in room was disappointing. Also, while not in hotel management, I imagine it's relatively cheap to get some way to access streaming services on the tv without having to bring a laptop and hdmi cable. Otherwise great, the staff in particular. Although the lack of front desk staff in the later hours wasn't great. They were there, but there was no bell or anything to ring them. I get not having someone literally at the front desk 24/7, but if you're going to do that at least have a way to ring them instead of just waiting until they happen to see you on the camera or whatever. Also this is more Expedia's fault, but self parking was advertised, however valet at $55 a day is the only option unless you want to chance the street metered parking the entire stay.

My wife and I have been staying here on and off for 30 years. As a Pacific Islander I am used to “aloha spirit.” In my opinion your hotel has lost most of that. Also the $45 resort fee was outrageous. There is no poor, no leisure room, no work out equipment, so what are we paying for?
No coffee machine in room even Hotel 6 has coffee for their guests. And valet parking $$$$
It seems like you are nickel and dimming your guest at ever turn. We used to love this hotel however we agreed that this would be our last stay.

And friendly at check in. The hotel is dated with some normal beach wear and tear but everything was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I chose this hotel specifically because GPT said it has the best beach snorkeling in Waikiki. I found it just below average. Too many people (myself included) to keep good reef health, I suppose. The hotel had a great vibe and is in a neat location next to several giant parks which makes for great morning walking!

Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I paid for the breakfast and it is so worth it! It includes a voucher for the restaurant, which gives beachfront access and perfect views! The hotel offers FREE amenities such as beach towels and chairs, which is a great plus. The ocean view room is the BEST. Comes with the perfect balance of city and ocean views. I spotted sea turtles while standing on the beach right outside of the hotel. The location is nicely placed across the street from Diamond Head Volcano, which offers trails if you’re interested in nature walks. The Waikiki Aquarium and Zoo is walking distance, along with shopping centers in close perimeter. I enjoyed my stay! No rental car was needed.

Don’t stay here. We were staying for 5 nights. We had a park view room which was in an attached building with no elevator, narrow stairs case, & the AC was a mini split that didn’t work. When I spoke to the front desk about it, we could upgrade the room for $117/night. They finally gave us a Mountain View room for 1 night which wasn’t any better except the AC worked. Rooms are very tiny, they only have 1 ice maker which was on the 8th floor. The beach was roped off so you had to walk down the road a bit to get to a beach which was very dirty and sketchy. It cost an extra $55/night for parking & $45/day for a resort fee. We stayed 1 night & got our money back & went to a safer, cleaner location up the coast a few miles.

We stayed in a queen, ocean view room and we had an amazing view of Waikiki Beach. We also were able to see the momma monk seal who had her baby on the beach. Initially we were disappointed that the beach was closed, but it was amazing to watch them throughout our stay. We struggled to get in at dinner without reservations, but we did have a drink at the bar. There is no coffee in the rooms, but there is a convenience store at the end of the parking lot. We didn't know there wasn't free parking available for hotel guests, it was $50 a night for valet parking, or on street parking with free parking from 6pm to 10am. This worked well for us.

Checked in for a local staycation - a couple of items to should of advertised prior to booking my stay, there main restaurant was closed due to a private event which also meant the kitchen would be closed for room service. The beach access in front of the hotel was closed due to sea monk activity, which was not an issue but perhaps that info could have been posted on the hotel website? Lastly the room had some issues, the tub was dirty and the drain was not working properly, the AC did not work nor did it turn on, it was an uncomfortable stay with the room being warm. I also did not receive the sparking wine that my Expedia silver status promised. Overall, will not stay at this hotel again.

The staff was great but the room had a few issues:
- To get to the second floor we had to go up stairs. No elevator. So all our luggage has to be carried up the flight - all 150 lbs of it

- We killed about two cockroaches each night. They were either in the sink or bathroom floor

- The beach in front of the hotel was closed. It was roped off which was the main selling point of the hotel

- We pre-paid for breakfast but it doesn’t open till 8:30 am which is too late for all our activities and tours so we ended up eating out anyway

We stayed 3 nights over Mother's Day and were unimpressed. The lobby looks wonderful and our room was nice and had a beautiful view of Waikiki. But the beach was not accessible because of monk seals and you could not eat at the restaurant (which was very expensive) without a reservation. And once you got off the elevators, the central atrium looked like a prison cell block or a Motel 6. There were no decorations of any kind to make the hotel look as inviting or as luxurious as the price would suggest. And while their website suggested there were bicycles for use by guests, it turned out you had to walk to the nearby aquarium, check out a city bike, pay for it, and then the hotel would reimburse you. The trouble was there were rarely bikes available there.

After staying in many other places over the years I finally tried the Kaimana Beach Hotel. I really think it's the best located hotel in all of Honolulu, on the best beach, and away from the crowds of Waikiki. I like how you can borrow a beach chair without any extra charge. The little Russell's convenience store on the property is well stocked with just about anything you might want or need, including morning coffee and the daily paper. And I love the koi pond at the entrance. This will definitely be my default choice from now on. It's like an old style Hawaiian hotel and I hope they keep it that way.

The room was very clean, and the resort fee included daily cleaning service. The dresser was older and had a mismatched drawer that didn't stay shut.

The bartender, Cramer, was awesome! The coffee shop baristas and convenience store workers were also so friendly. It was pretty handy having the convenience store right there, and it was open early amd closed late.
One thing we didn't realize until we were there was there was no covered patio to just hang out on and watch the ocean. You had to have lunch or dinner reservations to sit at the covered patio outside.
Most restaurants and shopping were walkable for us being about 1-1.5 miles away.

Stayed on April 12th in an ocean view room at Kaimana Beach Hotel.

The room itself was beautiful, with breathtaking views of the ocean, park, and surrounding mountains. I originally booked a park view room but requested an upgrade to the main hotel, as the “annex” building did not feel safe due to people hanging around the entrance. The staff accommodated the change, but I did pay for the upgrade.

Unfortunately, my experience took a serious turn. The air conditioner unit in the room leaked water onto the tile floor, and I slipped and fell hard on my side. My ankle became swollen and my hip was bruised. Because of this, I missed a planned hike with my sisters that day and had to cancel a Jurassic UTV excursion the following day.

What was most disappointing was the response from management. The hotel manager did not seem concerned and largely brushed off the incident, which made an already bad situation worse.

While the views and location are beautiful, this experience has made me reconsider staying here again.

Location on the Beach was beautiful. The hotel is in serious need of remodel. I feel the list of amenities was not correct. Our bed was smaller than a queen, the fan in bathroom didn't work. There is no gym, or bike rental on site. They only have one person at front desk doing 5 jobs, if you want towels for beach, or need help you have to wait while they are checking people in and answering phones. Our door to our room along with rooms by us won't shut. You have to slam them, because the door jams are off. Carpets through out old, table on linaii cracked, needs to be painted. Rust. The worst was the room had a wierd smell. The bar has 4 chairs to sit, all the other tables are empty with reserved signs for restaurant use only. The small lobby is open air, no place to sit outside, other than on the beach. Since no pool there is no outdoor space.

Clean though somewhat dated property.
Beach access and the beach was not crowded.
Had some issues with the property charging the same room balances more than once and placing large pending charges throughout our stay. The manager compensated us for the inconvenience of having this excessive depletion of credit card funds by giving us free parking though.
Restaurant was half closed due to weather and supposedly “fully booked”, but there were empty tables for almost 2 hours because the guests “called they are running late”: haven’t heard of a restaurant keeping your reservation for more than 15 min but this is not the case for Kaimana … So, make a reservation well ahead of time and they will keep their other guests unaccommodated even if you are extremely late.
The restaurant offers room delivery and take out too, which is helpful esp. when they are “fully booked” waiting for guests arriving late. Even if you take out they automatically charge you 18% gratuity… and expect you to add a tip on top too…

We stayed in the Parkview walk up building, as we have before. I always reserve the Parkview King Suite to suit the 3 of us. Room was clean and comfortable with daily excellent maid service. The restaurant has only pre made reservations, so we made one prior to our trip but could only get in late one night past our 6y old bedtime, so no restaurant for us. It was rainy our whole 9 day stay, so restaurant not open most of our days anyway. Breakfast was at least day old reheat food at menu price. Avoid breakfast there. So, no amenities other than in room fridge and microwave. But, we stay here for the location. San Souci is the best town beach. I recommend Kaimana for location, cleanliness and above average service.

The staff was excellent, the building was always clean. There was a storm while we were there, in fact it was a historically bad storm. The building lost power, the generator came on but did not supply power to our room or any of the rooms in the park wing as far as i could tell. The Hou Tree restaurant and bar is mostly outside & what is inside is open air so they had to close it to walk in customers & move the hotel service up to a ballroom upstairs. That wasn't an issue, what was an issue was we paid for the breakfast package which entitled us to 2 entrées & 2 non alcoholic drinks every day but they closed the kitchen completely one day, and the rest they only served salads or limited menu items. I paid for 14 days of breakfast but only had access to 10 days. The air conditioner in our room kept going out but it would come back after several power off cycles. It was a battle to keep the room cool once we got power back. All told, it was a good hotel stay but it could've been better.

Love love love the Kaimana Beach Hotel. I almost don't want to do a review because I want to keep it a secret! This hotel sits on the perfect spot, not quite in the hustle of Waikiki and it has all the charm that once was. Best beach and right by the park. It's a local favorite.

Many amenities missing: no microwave, coffee/tea maker with cream and sugar, no printed instructions on how to use the air conditioner, no printed TV station guide, no overall hotel information, had to even ask where the ice station was (on the 8th floor???), parking too expensive.

We received no assistance taking our luggage to our room when we arrived. We had to use a bell person cart to do it ourselves. The bed in the room had a huge dip in the middle where we sunk into it. We woke up every morning with sore backs.

The room smelled musty. The host is for the restaurant wasn’t exactly friendly. The wait staff in the restaurant in the bar however we’re extremely courteous and friendly. The mattress on one side of the bed had collapsed springs. If you slept close to the edge, it felt like you were going to roll off.

My recent stay at Kaimana Beach Resort was overall enjoyable, with the hotel offering a beautiful beachfront location that truly made the vacation feel luxurious. The property itself is very nice, and having a restaurant on-site with direct beach access added a lot of convenience and charm to the experience. I would rate the hotel a 3 out of 5, mainly due to service issues that did not meet the expectations of a 4-star hotel. Mark, who checked us in, was very professional and welcoming, but unfortunately the morning and evening staff were disappointing. On several occasions, I had to wait 10–15 minutes just to ask for beach towels. One night, the fire alarm rang in the middle of the night and no staff came to check on the situation. Additionally, I waited about 30 minutes on the phone just to inform the hotel that our Uber Eats driver was three minutes away and to ask if they could hold our food—by the time someone answered, the wait was already excessive. Overall, the hotel itself was fantastic, but the level of service needs significant improvement to match the quality of the property.
