The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection

"100% recommend staying here in this absolutely stunning classic hotel. You don’t feel like you’re in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki when staying here. The lush Gardens and ambience of the hotel are so relaxing. The room was a good size although the bathroom was definitely small for four people. The gorgeous wood doors were absolutely stunning and our view of the gardens was gorgeous. The lobby hotel is a stunning way to start your trip. There is a small pool on site, but we decided to use the pool next-door that you are allowed to use as it has water slides for the kids and much more family friendly. The beach is gorgeous and we will see the most beautiful sunset there. The hotel offers sunscreen and towels. All in all we had an amazing day and I would definitely recommend this hotel. Definitely get breakfast at the Royal Hawaiian bakery located just outside the lobby and don’t be afraid of the line if it’s 100% worth it."

"Had a most pleasant experience at this iconic resort. Outstanding service. Breathtaking views. Truly at the center of Waikiki; beach on one side, the hub-bub of incredible city life on the other... yet ensconced in a serene garden setting. We stayed at the "newer" Mailani towers. Room facilities were slightly dated, but the layout was most thoughtfully designed. Opened to a large balcony (lanai) with direct view of the expansive beach and ocean. On-site restaurant Azure offers a French inspired island cuisine, 5 course price fixed. Pricey, but delectable, innovative and unique, that I dint think you will find anywhere in the island. The same restaurant setting serves breakfast in the morning, try the pink pancakes. Great setting right by the ocean."

"My wife and I loved our stay and will definitely be back. We booked our stay through a travel advisor and did not know what to expect when we showed up. We were blown away by the lovingly maintained building and fantastic staff. The housekeepers were very kind and asked us multiple times if we needed anything. We had an issue with overpayment, due to a miscommunication between our travel advisor and the hotel. I have never seen a team so devoted to fixing a monetary problem when they had already received payment. They worked to fix the issue with our travel advisor directly and kept us informed throughout the whole process. The manager reached out directly to ensure we were taken care of and everyone was very apologetic. An establishment could be 5 star rated and if there are monetary issues at the end, it ruins the experience. They ensured this would not happen! We even got home this evening to a gift the hotel, mailed to our house, again apologize and welcoming us back. 10 out of 10 for your flawless customer service. Thank you for the fantastic stay!"
