Truly a gem!
Reviewed 13 september, 2022
I knew right away I made the right choice in hotels. As I write this from Aulani, I find myself wishing I was back at The Royal Hawaiian hotel. The smell all throughout the lobby was amazing. I believe it was plumeria and the smell was heavenly! I stayed in a king, historic wing, garden view which overlooked the pool area with a partial ocean view actually. The bed was so comfortable- i meant to check uf it was a heavenly bed since it is a Marriott brand hotel like the Westin. The room itself was big enough although, yes, the bathroom is small. I loved the location. I loved the beach. I loved the chairs scattered throughout. My only complaint was noise at night from Duke’s (I assume it was Dukes since my wing faced it). I was tired enough that it didn’t matter but it you’re a light sleeper it could be an issue. I really hope I get back there soon.

Our Return Stay
Reviewed 12 september, 2022
This was our 3rd stay at the Royal Hawaiian. This hotel opened in 1927 and now celebrating their 95th year! We loved the atmosphere of this special place. We stayed in tan Ocean view historic room which was well appointed and spacious. A fun fact, each of the doors to the rooms are handcrafted and no two are the same. We discovered a mini museum on the lower level where the spa and gym are located. There are a multitude of items, photos, news articles from the years past. It was very very interesting and there is a tour several times a week by an employee who I believe has been with the resort for 50+ years! Service was great, no complaints given some prior reviews I have read. Housekeeping went out of their way and if we saw them they always asked if we needed anything additional. Bellman were readily available. We had breakfast included with our package so we ate at Surf Lanai each morning. Love the pink pancakes!! I do wish they would offer a buffet again but everything was delicious. Visited the Mai Tai bar several times for both dinner and drinks…..very lively and busy but the longest we waited was maybe 10 minutes for a table. I note in prior reviews that people complained about having to pay for beach chairs and umbrellas. It’s there on the hotel website with links leading you to set up a rental. Yes we too were not happy with the $60 fee for the day, but the beach gets very crowded. If you are from the east coast, NY/NJ region, you know how crowded beaches get at home-same thing here. We were glad to have our own chairs and space set back from the crowds. We booked about 60 days out. Do not wait until you are there as it gets filled up. You can choose where you want to sit on the booking page. There are other options available and listed on the hotel website. Hotel grounds are as lovely as ever and didn’t see any worn/torn/stained furniture. If anything we saw employees always making sure the areas were maintained. I would love to see what the resort will be doing to celebrate 100 years!!

Gone downhill
Reviewed 12 september, 2022
First time back since 2019 and it’s gone downhill. There are cheaper places with just as good a location. It used to do the little things well but all that is gone. Just seems shabby. Our furniture had rips. Place seemed kind of sad. Not sure if this is just neglect from Marriott

What an incredible place to relax and enjoy a delicious tropical breakfast! We ordered, guava juice (fresh), the pink pancakes, eggs Benedict, an omelette, coffee & a smoothie! All delicious!! You’ll love it here! With sweeping views of Waikiki and the best service, you’ll be sure to enjoy that Aloha feeling. Janice was the very best part of our experience this morning! What a sweet lady full of kindness. Thank you, Royal Hawaiian staff and especially our dear friend, Janice! You made it unforgettable! Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Royal Hawaiian is our home away from home
Reviewed 10 september, 2022
We had a big family trip in Oahu and stayed at the Royal Hawaiian last year for the first time. The experience was amazing and memorable that we decided to stay here again this year! The staff is always so friendly, courteous, and personable. The valet service team is amazing and it’s wonderful to be able to see familiar faces! Nigel, at the concierge, really made our experience truly one of a kind and his kindness and charm with our little toddler was something we will never forget. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! Royal Hawaiian is truly our home away from home. Mahalo and hope to see everyone again next year!
