Loved the location, it was a new location for us as we normally stay closer to the centre of Waikiki near the Duke Statue but late booking saw us stay here at the Aqua Palms Waikiki and we're glad we did as the change showed us a fair bit more of Waikiki that we had been missing! Directly across the road is the Hawaiian Hilton Village you get to access all the shops/restaurants/bars in there and the nearby Hale Koa Hotel bar as well which was fab but it's also close to what we only just discovered food truck area which was fab for some casual dinners. The Trolley stop is also just outside the door of the hotel which was also very helpful when getting around. The staff were also very accommodating, we had an issue with our room after the first night and they were great with accommodating us to another room which caused a mix up with cleaning but we got that sorted and the cleaning staff were great in communicating with us.

For the value there wasn't much to fault, the hotel is dated but it had everything we needed and wanted. If I was to be picky, the lifts take forever but that's expected when the hotel is full. Also to note, it's on a pretty busy main road so the traffic noise is pretty loud and when motorbikes come by it's pretty up there but after a couple of nights it didn't bother me and i'm a light sleeper. The ducks and roosters across the road though....they got me but it's nature and also was a laugh having roosters in the city wake you!

One of the better locations, it is across the street from Hilton Hawaian Village. You don't get a view of the beach, but it is still a great location. The Hotel restaraunt is IHOP, staying there gets you 15% off your meals at that IHOP. I have stayed many times in the Aqua Palms, first time since Covid. I really like the staff and the location. Both are great.

They do have parking (you do pay by the day). Checking into the hotel with a car can be tricky, it is on a busy 3 lane road and there isn't any parking in front, so you end up block one lane of traffic in order to checkin. Parking is in the first 3 floors above the lobby and IHOP. There is also renters in the building who have reserved parking places, so make sure you do not park in a reserved spot or rick being towed.

All of the above! The location was perfect. Walking distance to beach and shopping was a big plus...

Parking was quite expensive. If parking garage was full you were instructed to use a public parking facility about 3 mins away. This was very disconcerting for a solo woman traveler.

I liked it. I was ready for a typical 3 stars hotel but this one is better. You are close to the ocean and everything. Right across the street from Hilton Village at a much affordable price. Honestly I cannot fault it. The staff goes beyond. I was treated better than in a 5star hotel in NYC where I went after Hawaii. Worth the try.

Not much. It was great

The 1st room was kinda of like being pushed into a broom closet- asked to be moved and had no problems, the 2nd room had a nice sized couch So we did like the accommodation.

The 1st room was super small and had no balcony. I think it was too much bed for the size of the room maybe a queen would be just fine.

The location of this property was excellent. The proximity to the beach is fantastic, and we had a partial view of the ocean and view of Diamond Head from our balcony! Loved it!

Through no fault of the hotel, I found the street noise to be very loud. Especially bothersome at night when cars blared their sound systems without any consideration for anyone, and mufflerless cars and noisy motorcycles drove by. If you go to Waikiki, maybe you expect a noisy environment but we definitely appreciate a more peaceful atmosphere. We stayed for just under 2 weeks and although the pool was closed during the day time hours (for construction?)during the week days, my husband said that the pool was too cold to use and I didn’t get into the pool once. Maybe a hot tub would be nice?! Also, there wasn’t any shade pool-side on the deck. Maybe umbrellas were taken down during the construction? I was disappointed in the non access to the water!

The location was across the street from the Hilton, which is where my conference was. The staff was very friendly. The hot water was abundant! And, they communicated about cleaning services and checkout via text. The beds were comfy!

It was dated. Duct tape on the floor of the elevator, worn (but clean) bedding, and the balcony doors were hard to close/let in sound.

Location was great. Stayed 10yrs ago and had another positive experience this time again

Unfortunately, there were cockroaches in the bathroom and kitchenette area

The hotel has a perfect location, close to the beach, and everything you need. An added bonus is the extremely comfortable beds and a balcony. I appreciated the friendly and professional staff, with special thanks to Clarissa and especially Christian, who accommodated my request for a room change to one with two separate beds. I also enjoyed the flexibility of the housekeeping service, which offered text messages. The lovely staff ensured these services were tailored to my needs, without unnecessary resources being used.

It's not really a complaint, but I understand the hotel is undergoing renovations, and it would be more convenient if the carpet were removed to make floor cleaning easier

Location was excellent for bus stops, shopping, restaurants reasonably close to the beach. Our room had a deck with 2 chairs and a table which was lovely. Black out curtains, air conditioning, comfortable bed and pillows, reasonably sized frig., very good bathroom shower head with good water pressure and hot water as needed. Pool area very clean, hallways clear, vending machines and elevators that worked. The hotel is very well kept and hallways are quiet.

I would like the hotel to consider room cleaning every 2 to 3 days rather then the present 4 days schedule especially for a 2 week stay. Considering this a beach resort area the bathroom really does need to be cleaned every two days. The guest should also be given a cleaning schedule-at least the days if not the time (A.M or P.M.) as it would help plan their day. The lighting was extremely inadequate as only one desk lamp was available in our room. In the evening with the curtains closed it was extremely difficult to do any close work like reading or writing. Even one small lamp on the dresser would be most helpful. Bathroom lighting was adequate and two mirrors outside the bathroom was an excellent addition.
