The bar under the banyan tree in the back of the hotel is my favorite - go have a drink even if you don't stay here. Easy access to the beach - no crossing the street. I have stayed in a room that faces the street - it is a bit noisy, but with the window closed you can still... More

We looked at the photos here on the advisor that other people posted and we almost did not book. But we did and HAPPY we did!!!! The food at the Beach Bar and Service Great ( but on Hawaiian time ) Relax and Enjoy!!! It's On the Ocean. Housekeeping staff the Best and Friendly. Every time we requested something from... More

Pros: right in the center of Waikiki Great access to beach Beautiful Resort Hotel has Victorian style Decent restaurant You don't need a car Close proximity to shopping and nightlife High-chairs available for babies Cons Rather expensive (this probably kept my rating from 5 star) No microwave No dvd player If you want to see the famous Waikiki beach, and...

Beautiful old hotel right on Waikiki Beach. Our room was in the original hotel, and we loved it. Nice ocean view, roomy, nice linens. We really liked the Beach Bar under the Banyan tree. Great drinks, snacks, music, people watching.

Was a perfect place to stay. From the check-in to check-out, our stay was the best ever. This hotel offers refreshing drinks in the lobby for guests. A nice touch. Hotel staff was helpful and courteous. Our oceanview room with lanai was beautiful. Beds were heavenly. Bathroom was spotless and very large. Spa was wonderful and relaxing but water was... More

For a long time I've dreamed about staying at the legendary Moana Surfrider. As non-guests we've always stopped by and cocktailed under the famed Banyan tree, walked the inviting lobby and verandah and enjoyed people-watching from front porch rocking chairs. Two weeks ago we finally broke open the piggy bank and decided to cough up the over $450/nt rate for... More

My husband and I stayed here over the Easter break for our honeymoon, this isn't usually the type of hotel we would usually go for, but we pushed the boat out. The hotel front and lobby are very well presented, with easy access to Waikiki beach through the beach bar. The hotel was clean and we had a great view... More

We stayed at the Surfrider for a week and on Friday, they closed the pool for a "photoshoot" from noon until 3pm. The photoshoot never happened!!! Amazing lack of service as we asked the manager of the hotel to call us and they never returned our call. It was our last day of sun in Hawaii and left us with... More

On May 9th, 2013, my fiancé and I were registered guests at this hotel. We were sunbathing in front of the hotel and decided to jump in the ocean to cool off. We asked Hays, an employee, if we could leave our bag under a tree while we went a few feet away to the ocean. She did not tell... More
