I stayed at the Aqua Waikiki Beachside from August 27th - September 1st. I do alot of research on hotels before booking online, and using Tripadvisor, I found the reviews for this particular hotel to be 50/ 50. Because of the great price I got through Expedia.ca, I decided to take my chances on the Aqua Waikiki Beachside and was... more

Oh my god, what a disapointment. The photos on the internet were so misleading. We had asked for early book in but was told that that was impossible unless we upgrade. After discussing the price and rejecting the idea we were then told $50 cash would see us into a room. I know that this went into the guys pocket,... more

The front desk guys are all so friendly and helpful, anything we needed they did for us and any where we wanted to go,... more

I knew a bit about the hotel before heading in, so I wasn't overly disappointed. However, there are some things that the hotel could be doing to make a more pleasant stay for their guests, that they're not doing at the moment. I and two others stayed in two separate rooms for 4 days this July. The desk manager was... more

I must admit I was scared to death to stay here after reading some of the reviews. The hotel manager was kind enough to respond to my emails and calm my fears. Nothing really worked until we walked in our room and looked out the sliding glass doors to the lanai!!! It was a gorgeous view! Although we were on... more

We felt a little duped last week when we arrived in Hawaii last week and checked into the Aqua Honolu Prince Hotel. The bones of the place are pretty gross and I can only imagine we selected that hotel based on the wrong review or something. Fortunately they were kind enough to allow us to transfer over to Beachside. For... more

Ok, so here is the deal, if you are look for a luxury expierence......this is not the place for you! However if you are looking for a clean room, KILLER views (floors 6 and up are best) and within walking distance to all waikiki activities.....this is your place. We knew starting off that we would not be spending much time... more

Literally across the road from Waikik beach, easy walk to all Waikik has to offer. Understand hotel has recently been bought by Aqua chain and looks as if it will be undergoing renovation in the near future - scaffolding all around hotel during my stay with workmen there friom 9 - 5. Interior does need updating and is rather worn... more

aquaalohasurf, area general manager

Aloha Deggy, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Your assessment is correct in that the value received at the Aqua Waikiki Beachside for the location is something that cannot be found in the near vacinity. Work to the building is moving along ahead of schedule. The balcony construciton work has been completed and the exterior painters...
