The incredible location makes this place a prime spot, with the beach views from the room being particularly stunning. However, the rooms are rather small for the price, and the beach tends to get crowded. Customer service was noticeably lacking, with few friendly greetings from staff, which detracted from the overall experience.

The stay was fantastic, especially lounging by the relaxing pool and enjoying the sunset views from the beach access! The spa treatments like the full body massage and sauna were perfect for unwinding after a long day. Just wish the soundproofing in the room was a bit better, but it didn’t take away from the amazing experience! 🌴

We had a wonderful family experience, enjoying the beachfront access and trying stand-up paddleboarding right outside the resort. The historic charm of the hotel combined with large rooms made our stay even more special, particularly for the grandkids who loved the pool activities.

In my wife's opinion, dining options were pricey and service could improve during busy hours.

I enjoyed my stay in the Historic Banyan Deluxe Larger Guest Room with a city view. The staff's hospitality made my visit memorable. The location offers great beach access and easy walks to local shops. The atmosphere was inviting, especially with the iconic banyan tree. 🌴

Recommend for a momentary pause

Charming location, comfortable accommodation, with stunning views of the sandy beach, allowing for an enjoyable cocktail experience under the historic banyan tree during sunset.

Limited amenities and some service inconsistencies.

Beach location is fantastic. Enjoyed the canoeing activity. The room smelled musty. Limited pool seating not great.

The Moana Surfrider's charming historic architecture and the large banyan tree create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. The rocking chairs on the porch are perfect for relaxing while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. Accessibility was good, making it easy to navigate the property.

More accessible seating at the pool would be helpful.

The beachfront views were amazing and the rocking chairs were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. It’s also easy to walk to nearby shops and restaurants.

The location was fantastic, right in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore nearby shops and enjoy beachfront views. The hotel's historic architecture created a charming atmosphere, and I particularly loved relaxing in the rocking chairs on the porch while listening to the sea breeze. Although parts of the hotel were a bit outdated, the beautiful banyan tree and the inviting ambiance more than made up for it. Overall, it was a lovely stay and an excellent choice for a couple's getaway.

would definitely return here

The hotel has a beautiful beach access with stunning ocean views. Our room, Historic Banyan Deluxe, had air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a wardrobe. The pool area is nice, and there’s a great poolside bar. Plus, the spa facilities offered relaxation after a long day of exploring Waikiki.

Staying here was delightful! The beach access provided fantastic views, and the staff radiated warmth and hospitality. Although I faced some delays during check-in, the beautiful surroundings made up for it. A little pricey but worth the splurge for the experience.

This place suits me perfectly with beach access, a fitness center, and 24-hour reception. The staff even helped with restaurant recommendations on my first stay. I’m looking forward to my next holiday here!
