Kaimana Beach Hotel

Bad

Disliked: Everything was great until the last day! On the last day of departure they charged us an additional $1,200 - just a scam! Wherever we go, I always pay the full cost of the stay in advance on Booking and no one else has ever charged a single cent!!! And these guys said some kind of extra percentage for each day.

It’s pricy for the value...

Liked: Close to beach away from density but near Waikiki
Disliked: Room is basic could use an update

This place has the perfect...

Liked: A hidden gem in Waikiki – I didn’t want to leaveI honestly loved everything about Kaimana Beach Hotel. Even though it’s a known name in Waikiki, it still feels like one of those places you want to keep to yourself because it’s just that good.Mornings here are something else – I’d step out onto the balcony, take in the view, and feel like I was right in the middle of the ocean. Then it was straight down for a swim in the most beautiful, calm water you can imagine. The sunsets? Absolutely unforgettable. And the location is spot on – peaceful and away from the noise, but close enough to walk into Waikiki whenever you want.The ocean breeze keeps everything fresh, so no sticky heat and no mosquitoes – just comfort. The staff are genuinely kind and clearly take pride in what they do. And having Hau Tree right inside the hotel is such a treat – it’s one of Waikiki’s coolest spots, and you can just wander down for a drink or dinner without leaving “home.”Evenings had this lovely buzz – the lobby would fill with people, music and laughter drifting in, and it felt like you were part of something special. On a couple of mornings, a Hawaiian monk seal swam by, totally at ease, and everyone watched quietly – it felt like such a privilege.And right behind the hotel is Kapiʻolani Regional Park, perfect for a morning walk. The fact that the resort fee includes yoga classes was the cherry on top for me.
Disliked: Like everywhere else in Waikiki, the combination of resort fee and valet parking tops $100 a night. It feels like all the hotels got together on this one – a bit of a “bitter sweet” aloha. But honestly, the charm of Kaimana almost makes you forget it. Almost.

Great beach location. Quiet and...

Liked: The location on the beach was fantastic!
Disliked: The front desk rarely answered the phone. Tasks were done slowly or not at all. The hotel restaurant had terrible breakfast food.
