I was a little worried about staying at the Aqua Aloha. However, the hotel exceeded my expectations. On the first day, from my room I saw a full and vivid rainbow, over Diamond Head. This hotel may not be one of the fanciest of places, but it isn't a dump. It is close to the beach and everything that a... more

My expectations of the Aqua Aloha Surf were shattered when we first arrived. Our check in was delayed by a receptionist who clearly didn't know what he was doing. We arrived at night and had been travelling all day so we were a little bit irritable. When we arrived in the room we found a single bed and what I... more

I was sent to Honolulu for a work seminar [lucky me!] and wanted to extend my stay for a few days. I booked the Aqua Aloha Surf through an online agency with a special offer. I found out just before my trip that my company made a mistake on the dates and was off by one day between hotel stays.... more

My stay at the Aloha Surf was very pleasant. Staff were very friendly which counts for so much. Check in was smooth and hassle-free. When we arrived at the room, it turned out that my travel agent had not requested the type of room I had specified. However, the front desk were very helpful with making new arrangements. The standard... more

After reading some of the reviews about this hotel I was a little worried that we would be staying there. But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. We were upgraded on check-in to a lovely spacious suite with a very comfortable king sized bed and a balcony with a view of the ocean and the mountains. The room... more

This budget hotel is good for its price, usually under $100/night. It is centrally located in Waikiki, so you can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes. The rooms are renovated with a modern look, each having a flat screen television. The rooms are a little small, but you're not going to be indoors most of the day anyways.... more

Don't believe the hype on how nice this hotel may be. This Hotel is soooo no frills and the pool is tiny. My home pool is bigger than this hotel's (which is really sad). The interior is cool and looks exactly like the pictures but it doesn't really entice you to hang out in the lobby. Plus a cool decor... more

Good place. close to the waikiki beach and pretty close to good food and all the shopping. This is like the perfect location in Waikiki. It is also close to the H-1 (reasonably), so you can get out of Waikiki reasonably quickly. The rooms were decent (well decorated), but weirdly organized. Worth the money. the staff were friendly. got free... more

When you first walk in, the place looks great and exotic. The man working in the front desk was nice and gave me water. I needed that after a long plane ride. When I got in my room it still smelled like Windex since they just cleaned it, it kinda bothered me, but its okay...better smell than smoke or something.... more

I hated this hotel. I have stayed in other Waikiki hotels and found this to be poor value for money, even considering it is a budget hotel. The room was dingy, unclean and poorly maintained. The staff were rude, abrupt and not helpful at all. It seems that renovations have concentrated on making the foyer funky and bright but no... more

Aloha Mack1975, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. It is concerning and astonishing that you thought our staff were "rude, abrupt and not helpful." I am interested in finding out more details about this, so that we can address this issue appropriately. We always strive to make our guests stay as enjoyable...
