We saw a last minute deal to Hawaii (from Sydney) for $1200 return for two adults. Even though we were not planning a trip at this time having just been to the mainland US 6 weeks earlier this prices was just too damn good to pass up. With this in mind and depleted funds from our earlier trip were were... More

I stayed with friends recently at this hotel. After a long flight and being solo at that point, I struggled with bags up stairs at the entrance to hotel. After being greeted by someone at reception I was promptly told to read the sign behind him which said check in 3pm , he even pointed to it. To which I... More

Aloha, I agree with you, GREAT LOCATION. Your arrival experience did not meet my standard for our team and I apologize for that. I am glad you enjoyed the spaciousness of the room that you were in.

This was our second stay at the Wave. We hit the summer rush and got a good deal for a partial ocean view room on an upper floor with a king bed (special $5 upgrade at the time). Very comfortable bed, nice furnishings, clean. Every person on the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel... More

We recently spent a whole week at the wave and I must say, I went into it really nervous about the noise according to other reviews. Yes it was noisy, even at night. However it wasnt so noisy that it disturbed our sleep. The waves location is amazing. Right next to International marketplace. Close to the canal and other shopping.... More

I don't usually write a review after staying in hotels but I was definitely impressed with the way Aqua Waikiki Wave treated us. After a long flight, getting dropped off at the wrong hotel, and finally arriving at the correct hotel, all we wanted to do was to check in to our room and start our vacation. Imagine our disappointment... More

Waikiki Wave was very clean, the top floor room (as requested) was quiet and our housekeeper, Linda, kept our room in perfect order and helped us with some small requests. The day manager, Flora, was especially helpful and friendly, we met her at the Wednesday afternoon "Welcoming Party" where there was free entertainment, beverages, snacks, and a masseuse! The staff... More

I thought the hotel is a good place. The front person named Greg was very helpful with giving us locations on where to go and where to eat. It really helped us out a lot.
