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

Originaly booked the Aqua Coconut Plaza but were upgraded to this hotel due to closure of the former hotel. What a bonus, couldn't fault it. Staff very helpful, clean, roomy, air-conditioned, and mini kitchen as well. Too tired to let outside early noises keep me awake, and grateful when they did alert me to the wonderful sunshine I was missing.... more

We stayed at the Aqua Aloha Surf and Spa for two nights (26-28/4). Due to an early morning flight from Sydney we arrived at the hotel around 10am. Upon check-in we were informed that the room was not ready and to come back around 3pm. As we had signed up to receive the Aqua Resorts newsletter we had a voucher... more

We stayed at the Aqua Aloha Surf for 3 nights 4/28-5/30. The lobby is very welcoming and so was the front desk attendant. Providing two bottled waters was a nice treat. As people had forewarned, the parking garage was tiny and when we arrived, there were two spaces that had been reserved by phone, but unclaimed. He told me to... more

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay! I am happy to hear that you thought our staff were friendly and nice, but I am disappointed that you did not feel the same way about the Expedia Local Expert staff. The Expedia desk is meant to assist our guests with their activity needs during...

It was clean and comfortable. The staff was VERY accomodating and helpful. The only downside is that the bed was uncomfortable (way too soft) and the continental breakfast was minimal. I would highly recommend this hotel. Good location, great value. Parking was a problem. They do not have enough parking for all the guests, so the first night we had... more
