A hidden gem in Waikiki – I didn’t want to leave I honestly loved everything about Kaimana Beach Hotel. Even though it’s a known name in Waikiki, it still feels like one of those places you want to keep to yourself because it’s just that good. Mornings here are something else – I’d step out onto the balcony, take in the view, and feel like I was right in the middle of the ocean. Then it was straight down for a swim in the most beautiful, calm water you can imagine. The sunsets? Absolutely unforgettable. And the location is spot on – peaceful and away from the noise, but close enough to walk into Waikiki whenever you want. The ocean breeze keeps everything fresh, so no sticky heat and no mosquitoes – just comfort. The staff are genuinely kind and clearly take pride in what they do. And having Hau Tree right inside the hotel is such a treat – it’s one of Waikiki’s coolest spots, and you can just wander down for a drink or dinner without leaving “home.” Evenings had this lovely buzz – the lobby would fill with people, music and laughter drifting in, and it felt like you were part of something special. On a couple of mornings, a Hawaiian monk seal swam by, totally at ease, and everyone watched quietly – it felt like such a privilege. And right behind the hotel is Kapiʻolani Regional Park, perfect for a morning walk. The fact that the resort fee includes yoga classes was the cherry on top for me.

I had the one-bedroom room with a swimming pool view, and it was absolutely worth it! The room was neat, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a retro-chic vibe. The staff, especially the wonderful Hawaiian girls at reception, were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to meet all my needs. From check-in to check-out, the service was truly impeccable. The parking was also very attractive—both in terms of convenience and price, which is rare for Waikiki! It was such a relief not to worry about parking in such a busy area. The overall vibe of the hotel is laid-back yet stylish, and the pool area was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for an amazing stay in Waikiki. I’ll definitely be back!

The hotel is in the perfect location if you want to go to Honolulu central and Waikiki beach. The staff was very accommodating. My father was on hospice and I had to keep extending my reservation, and I had to get my husband to pay for my stay remotely, which took a lot of coordination with the staff and authorizations, etc. We had to do this at least 4-5 times over my stay, including parking. They made it very easy and I was able to stay in my same room the entire time. The room was great, and it's so nice to be able to open the doors of the lanai so the whole wall is open to the outside. Also, the mini-kitchen was very helpful to have and the laundry was useful, plus the cleaning staff was really friendly. Any issue I had was quickly addressed.

This hotel exceeded our expectations! The price is super low, the rooms are spacious, the staff above and beyond friendly, everything was great. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling with kids or a group, or have an extended stay. Our room had a full kitchen with cookware, even a rice cooker! Full size fridge, all of the amenities one could want. The dining area was large, and the view from the balcony was amazing! The pool floor is very fun, with a clean pool and two jacuzzis, even a playground area for little kids and lots of bbq grills to use. This is a no-frills place that still keeps a nice level of comfort. I now highly recommend staying here, and we will be back! 😊

We were visiting my son and daughter-in-law, who live on Wheeler Airforce base. Kapolei is 20-25 minutes from Waihiwa so they could easily come to us for dinner (hotel is next to a mall with lots of restaurant options); we were also close to Honolulu (30 minutes) and the Bishop museum; pearl harbor; Honolulu art museum; and the West beaches like Electric beach. North shore about 35-40 minutes. Kapolei is a central location away from the tourist craziness of Waikiki.

The property itself is very run down and old needing a lot of love. The construction that was going on was not an issue. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The ac they speak of is a window unit which no where near reaches past the living room/kitchen and bed. The kitchen was not complete with decent cooking pans. I certainly would not stay here again. The only nice thing about this condo was the beach access.

Beautiful beach, that was the best part.

Beautiful beach, that was the best part. The prices in Hawaii are ridiculous. Very high. The are grocery stores that you can buy your own food and cook if you have a kitchen. Nice people. My fav was the taco truck that had such good fresh healthy food. I would eat there everyday. He was on Kihapai st and oneawa st , late in the evening. Best recommendation. Its mostly safe, some homeless here and there not much in the residential areas. Few bars from high end, to crossroads to Kailua tavern that has the best karaoke bartender you have ever heard. He sings and makes your drinks. Food is ok, if you are a foodies it's hit and miss.. in the restaurants.. Super fun, you can get amazing surfing cheap lessons with Mike and Andy at 808 Surt School by Kamehameha Hwy opposite of the shrimp shack. Lot of great experiences, so much beautiful sun. Beautiful place. We'll be back.

This can be a good place to stay you may have to over look some of the issues this location has. THIS IS NOT A JW MARRIOTT don't expect it. Even pricey hotels aren't perfect. The beach is close and turtles do land on it in the evenings. The water is very shallow all the way out to the reef - probably good for beginners. This location is close to the Polynesian Cultural Center and is about the middle of all North Shore points of interest. We did not stay in the room much because we were away seeing the rest of the island during the day.

We hated the bus system and should have rented a car although parking is expensive and limited. Waikiki beach is not a walkable beach with all the breakwaters to stop erosion, and the sand is very grainy and not packed at all. We're used to walking the beaches for miles but not here. Honolulu (the city) is full of multistory buildings, so GPS is useless. The streets are clearly marked so a map on your phone can get you where you want to go. The sun is hot but there are plenty of trees everywhere, so shade is easy to find. There's a lot to do and see here which is great but relying on the bus system is extremely frustrating. Restaurants are plentiful with just about everything you might want to eat. I would try some of the other islands, but the 13-hour flight was difficult, and I wouldn't do it again.
