We've stayed here twice in the past and this is the 3rd time. Each time we've noticed the place getting progressively worse! The first two times we booked through Outrigger which gives one pool privileges next door at the Outrigger hotel. The last time we were here (2 years ago) we were not happy with the location of the room... More

My wife and I stayed at the Waikiki Shore this past April and were thrilled with the accommodations. The first thing you must realize when picking a home-away-from-home in Waikiki is that most of the hotel rooms face other hotel rooms and that only a fraction of the available rooms actually face the water and let alone face the ocean...

Thank you for your endorsement of the Castle Waikiki Shore. Most of our units have unobstructed views of the ocean and the park. All units have a full kitchen, washer/dryer, wireless routers, etc. We are a condominium hotel and are much larger than any normal hotel room. we appreciate you taking the time to comment on your stay with us.

My daughter & I stayed here in a studio on level 14 with an ocean view. The view is certainly fantastic both day & night. We booked through The Outrigger so we could use the pool at the Outrigger Reef next door. We had an issue on check in, as we had requested a twin room but were shown a... More

Just had 6 nights in 1510 booked via Outrigger. We rang on our way from the airport and were met by a very helpful Outrigger staff member. He explained how everything worked - use of pool next door, who to call if need help, etc, etc. The view was amazing - ocean, Fort DeRussy Park and the city - and... More

We found the room exactly as described (Premier Ocean Front). It was rm 505. We had a nice view of the beach and ocean and could also see the park next door. It was very quiet. We stayed a week and the room was always kept clean. The housekeeping service left us extra towels when requested. The staff were all... More

This hotel is great value, especially with its location (literally right on the beach) and the ocean views. Pay for an ocean view room - it's worth every penny. Our room was a bit dated, but still outstanding for the price - the rooms have a well-equipped kitchenette, a washer and dryer, windows that open and a balcony. With an... More

This was our second stay here in #1010. I think one of the keys to booking the Waikiki Shore ( & being happy with it ) is to book with an agent who lists "specific" condos, or perhaps vrbo. We have booked with Captain Cook Resorts twice now. Their site allows you to see & then book exactly which condo... More

We had stayed here before in a privately owned condo, but it was booked this time during our stay. We were able to get reservations through the property itself, and although we had some trouble with our first room, the staff moved us when we called, and gave us a discount on the overall bill without any hassle. The new... More

Our hearts sunk when we arrived after a long flight. This 2 week trip was to be a trip of a life time ..the ONLY good thing about this condo is the view and location. We booked at great expense a deluxe 1bedroom ocean view apt..room 1008. It's old, dated and in need of some maintenance . It is not... More

I found this rental through Orbitz. We were looking for a one bedroom unit with a kitchen, washer and dryer and good access to Waikiki. Unit 906 was a great rental find. We paid $289.00 a night for 7 nights. It was clean with plenty of space for our family of four. The kids said the pull out was not... More
