Fodor's Expert Review Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki
444 Kanekapolei St., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96815, USA
This affordable property two blocks from Waikiki Beach appeals to the young (and young at heart) with surfer-chic rooms and suites, a cool blue-and-green color scheme, and lounge chairs throughout. Most accommodations have a lanai, mini-refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Note that although the resort fee includes beach towels and chairs, the hotel does not offer daily housekeeping services (and also charges a one-time cleaning fee); replacement bedding and towels are available upon request, however. Parking costs an additional $25 per day and is limited.
PROS
- in-room refrigerators and microwaves
- pool with sundeck and cabanas
- on-site coin-operated laundry
CONS
- somewhat dated in places
- no daily housekeeping services
- no view and 10-minute walk to beach
