Hotel's Favourite
Vive Hotel Waikiki exceeded my expectations. I solely based my booking on price and after reading a few reviews online. We booked an entire week and were a bit nervous that it wouldn’t be all that great. We were wrong! We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the hotel was. Starting with the complementary cold pineapple juice given to us at arrival. The check in process with quick and easy. They even asked us if we were celebrating a special occasion. We happen to be celebrating a late honeymoon and to our surprise we found a nice gift hanging from our room door the following day! I thought that was a nice touch on behalf of the hotel and staff. The hotel was really clean and nicely furnished. We booked a queen bed room which was perfect for 2 people. I really liked the retractable clothes hanger in the shower for you to hang wet clothes. I thought it was a clever idea. The bed was nice and comfortable. The lobby serves breakfast which was something that we were looking for in a hotel to save money on at least one meal a day. There are also a variety of board games and books in the lobby in case you have a rainy day. Another great amenity this hotel offers are beach chairs, beach umbrellas, body boards, beach towels and more for FREE if you book directly through their website. That’s a big saving compared to renting all that stuff each day and since the hotel is only a 3 minute walk to the beach it’s perfect! Now on to the staff! The staff is what really makes this place great! They are so friendly and made us feel right at home. From the front desk staff, Anderson, Bryson and another young man whose name I don’t remember to the valet staff, Arnel, Richard and Franklin, you guys were awesome! I can’t say enough good things about this hotel and the staff! Thank you you guys. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again and will recommend this boutique hotel to all of our friends who plan to visit Waikiki. Keep up the great work!…

This was a nice hotel that is close to the beach. I feel that It's fairly affordable and the easy access to Waikiki beach is the best-selling point. The only negative was the queen sized beds needed a thicker mattress, but the continental breakfast was very good. I enjoyed the fresh pineapple each morning. I think I would choose a hotel with a pool next time, but we were able to pay for a all day pass to the pool at another hotel.

We went to Oahu for a destination wedding. Vive Hotel should get Best Value! The location was perfect, close to everything. From the moment we made the reservation, the staff was incredible. Everybody that works there seems genuinely dedicated to clients having the best experience possible. The lobby has several comfortable areas to meet with friends and family, play board games or eat takeout. Daily breakfast was amazing! Tons of fresh fruit, bakery items, protein options and juices. Our extended family met for breakfast daily and were able to leisurely spend time enjoying the food and talking. I’ll admit that our room was small, we chose the cheapest option, but in Hawaii, who wants to hang out in their room! Common areas are sufficiently spacious and we were outside all the time. I would recommend Vive Hotel to anyone!…

Best customers service--Beautiful lounge--Good breakfas--Very convenient location I came here with my daughter. There were many worries for the first time to travel without my husband, but the staff was so supporting and welcoming. They gave me good advice and maps of where to go. Not only that, we were also provided with amenities like umbrellas, beach chairs and beach towels. We love the lounge with nice colorful decor and huge space, which gives a good vibe. We also like a little cute corner library even there are just a few books. My daughter and I like so spend time at the lounge to play chess and scrabbles whenever we want to rest and relax. Staying at your hotel makes our trip more pleasant and enjoyable. So, thank you!!!

I had a great experience with my family. We stayed for about a week. The staff was friendly & respectful. We were able to check in early which was much appreciated since we have a baby. We used their pack and play and high chairs. My baby had a great time and took very good naps. The beach umbrellas/chairs made the beach trips comfortable. Overall great place to stay!

We had an amazing stay at Vive Hotel. Excellent location, very competitively priced (booked almost a year ahead) and great facilities. Staff always helpful and professional. The hotel is ideally located for Waikiki beach, you can use the free beach gear (umbrellas, chairs) and it has good restaurants nearby. Bus stop just outside the hotel with direct links to the airport and Pearl Harbour. Good breakfast and free tea and coffee all day round. We really liked the idea of the water stations and the refillable bottles! Saved us a lot of money not buying bottled water from the shops.

Great hotel. Location is great, only a few blocks from Waikiki Beach. Staff are great. When we checked in with Princess, she asked if we had a special occasion. We mentioned it was our 30th wedding anniversary. Didn't think much about the exchange, that it was just pleasantries. The next morning, after housekeeping had been, our room had towels made out of swans and a box of chocolates, with a note from the management wishing us an happy anniversary. A little thoughtfulness we were not expecting. We had a rental and the valets were great. Arnel was always helpful and friendly. On his days off, Richard was also very friendly. There a lot of places to eat really close to the hotel. The breakfast buffet in the morning at the hotel was great. Lots of fresh fruit. The rooms are small, but we are in Hawaii, who stays in the room.…
