Great location close to the beach. Great price for the area and quality. Wonderful breakfast each day. Only suggestion would be to work on the drainage for the AC units. The condensation drops from the above unit onto the unit in the room making a constant dripping noise. Great place overall.

The beds we comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. I didn't like that the bathroom had barely any counter space for my stuff and the only plug was on the far side of the toilet. Had to place my toothbrush on the toilet tank and hair dryer cord barely reached the mirror to see what your doing.

I loved the staff and environment, I always go for a boutique style hotel to support the small businesses and I thought it was amazing. And a really good price also. To whoever is in these reviews saying they wanted it to be more resort like and BS like that should have booked at a resort if they wanted all the perks. I would just say everyone should stay here when going to Oahu because the staff where so excellent.

Newer Hotel in Hilton Hawaiin Complex. It is very beautiful and clean. The staff was always very helpful. There were plenty of restaurants and shops. The fireworks on Fridays are a must!
The beach is great but it is tough that you have to pay for a chair and umbrella.
Overall I would recommend the hotel if you are going to Oahu.

The location and ocean were nice. It was very quiet except for the sounds of the ocean and you didn't know if guests were next door or in the hall.

The way the resort is set up its as though the beach is private, even though all public beaches in Hawaii are public. All of the staff knew my name, even those I hadn't talked to. All of the staff was great. The manager of Hoku's was the best.

When you book with Hotels.com, we'll indicate if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it's on the higher side, we might suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels located near the city center usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Honolulu's excellent public transportation system, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further out that is still well-connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighborhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often excellent value for money. Choosing these alternative destinations may provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
