Though it's across the street from the Kuhio Beach section of Waikiki, the Hyatt is actually on the oceanfront, as there's no resort between it and the Pacific Ocean. A pool-deck staircase leads directly to street level, for easy beach access. An open-air atrium with three levels of shopping, a two-story waterfall, and free nightly live entertainment make this one of the liveliest lobbies anywhere. An activity center offers kids' programs, including lei-making lessons, ukulele lessons, and field trips to the aquarium and zoo. Pros: Public spaces are airy and waterfall is spectacular. Cons: In a very busy and crowded part of Waikiki.

My husband and I stayed here when we had our wedding at a nearby beach. We are going back this year and are planning to stay at the Hyatt again. They have a great breakfast buffet and the food was good at all the restaurants in the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in.
