Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

Too expensive, outdated and crowded.

Liked: Hotel is quite big and the restaurant as well as pool are not catching up. Breakfast was nice, but they made you wait for table even though there were free tables available. Food was nice and there were enough options for everyone to choose from. Pool is just tiny for such a big place, but towels available with no problem.
Disliked: We ended up changing rooms, because ours wasn't cleaned properly and there were leftovers from previous guests. Moving to a reconstructed part of the hotel was super nice, the previous felt really outdated, but we lost one bed and had to sleep on the sofa, which was not that comfy. Waikiki is a very touristy area- if you like the beach lively (crowded) and streets full, go for it. If not, stay further away from this particular beach & area.

I don’t think I’d stay...

Liked: The hotel was right across the street from the beach, and we got a room with a partial ocean view. The staff was AMAZING!! Kanoe and Bryan greeted us every morning at the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Kanoe remembered our name the second day she met us. Both were super sweet. Dale has an important job of keeping the birds away from the tables since it was outside seating, and he was always very pleasant. We could tell when his days off were cuz birds were everywhere. Tessa was one of the wait staff and she always went above and beyond. She even took care of us when we weren’t in her section cuz we never met out waiter that day as he never came over to us. Antonio is one of the bus boys and he was so sweet, always smiling and in a good mood. The breakfast food was AMAZING every day!! The pool was also nice, great waitstaff as well. We got a cabana one of the days and it was well worth the money. Dado was super sweet, always checking on us to make sure we have what we need. Bishop was also very attentive, but once I closed out the bill at the end of his shift the person replacing him didn’t come over once. Dado made sure to replace our waters, which are free when you reserve a cabana.
Disliked: Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. However, the hotel is VERY dated. Looks like the 70s, smells like the 70s. We paid for an ocean view room, we were given a partial view, so we mostly saw building and a little bit of the ocean. I was expecting a full view for the price we paid. The carpet definitely could be replaced. It was warped in multiple areas, causing a tripping hazard. The sliding glass doors are very loud. You can hear every time your upstairs neighbor opens and closes the door, in our instance it seemed like every 30 seconds one of the nights. We didn’t realize that’s what it was, it sounded like they kept dragging furniture around. Security told us it was the sliding door. The bed was very uncomfortable, left with sore hips and back. If you need a good pillow I recommend bringing your own. The last thing, the elevators took forever!! And when one would stop on our floor, it was always be full so we either had to cram on or wait for another. If you aren’t too high up, I recommend taking the stairs as it would be much quicker. I would also recommend bringing extra hangers. I went with my sister and we both had lots of hanging stuff. They give you I think 6 hangers. Thankfully we brought some
