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. Made the time cut short for us rather than searching thought the brochure and flyers... And the hotel over all was great except for the... More

We're visiting family in the island, and I got this hotel for two nights for Mother's day weekend by using my Amex points, so I know we will get a basic room. We were put in the 3rd floor, facing Kuhio Avenue. I asked the guy in front to see if we can get a higher floor, and he said... More

Aloha, Parking at the Waikiki Banyan is a good choice if you are able to walk the four blocks. I apologize about the demeanor of the front desk and will bring that up with their Supervisor this morning. We stand on the excellent level of customer service, and what you observed is not the norm for our operations. Our hotel... More

I am due to check in on 5/26/12. I called the hotel to confirm my reservations. Person who answered the phone told me that they do not have a reservation in my name, and shipped me off to the reservations department. What do I get when they transfer me? A voice mail. A flipping voice mail. Left a message and... More

Beautiful location, great hotel, best holiday ever! We had a bit of a bargain with the hotel and were so pleased with it. It was really clean, the rooms were a great size and we were offered a choice of rooms, both with fabulous views. The staff were really friendly too. I could have stayed forever! More

Service was wonderful, but the lack of adequate parking facilities brought down the hotel rating. Was requested to park in an adjacent facility, but was turned away because it could not accommodate mini-vans. Very inconvenient. Location adjacent to the International Marketplace and all Waikiki attractions was perfect. Not a first rated hotel, but more of an economical/less frills hotel. More

Aloha, I am glad that you enjoyed the great service from our team. The parking is what it is and we inherited those challenges when we took over the management of the property.
