I booked this place based on reviews here and hotels.com and I basically got what I expected. The location is very good, within walking distance to most you want to do in Waikiki, we did not even bother getting a car. I did hear some people complaining about the parking situation at the front desk, so I'm glad I didn't... more

I feel I have to disagree strongly with the author of the previous review. We booked the Aqua Aloha Surf Hotel to try to save on our costs and we were pleasantly surprised by the overall value. To be honest, we have had appalling service from some of the big brands (including a disappointing stay at the Crowne Plaza, Los... more

If you are looking for a super clean, modern place to stay and not so expensive, this is the place! Only 7 minutes from Waikiki beach. The walk is throu big streets with lots of people = safe. Pool is not so much, but nice to relax an hour or two after the beach. Breakfast: one sort of fruit, a... more

I received a great rate for my room (my family and I had the largest room they have) and it comfortably slept 4 adults and 1 child. Two adults shared a bed, the child slept in the other bed, and two adults shared the couch that pulls out into a bed. Although the beds were not the most comfortable I... more

The Aqua Hotels advertising portray a very modern hip look. The rooms are okay but the locations of all of their hotels are scary. Don't stay there. We had to stay one night because our flight was delayed and we could not stay back at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It was such a far cry from the quality at the... more

Aloha MaryBaker Hollywood, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. I am disappointed to hear that you think the locations of all of Aqua Hotels are "scary." There are 13 Aqua Hotels located in Waikiki and all of them are either within short walking distance of Waikiki Beach or right across from the...

I was a little worried about staying at the Aqua Aloha. However, the hotel exceeded my expectations. On the first day, from my room I saw a full and vivid rainbow, over Diamond Head. This hotel may not be one of the fanciest of places, but it isn't a dump. It is close to the beach and everything that a... more

My expectations of the Aqua Aloha Surf were shattered when we first arrived. Our check in was delayed by a receptionist who clearly didn't know what he was doing. We arrived at night and had been travelling all day so we were a little bit irritable. When we arrived in the room we found a single bed and what I... more

I was sent to Honolulu for a work seminar [lucky me!] and wanted to extend my stay for a few days. I booked the Aqua Aloha Surf through an online agency with a special offer. I found out just before my trip that my company made a mistake on the dates and was off by one day between hotel stays.... more

My stay at the Aloha Surf was very pleasant. Staff were very friendly which counts for so much. Check in was smooth and hassle-free. When we arrived at the room, it turned out that my travel agent had not requested the type of room I had specified. However, the front desk were very helpful with making new arrangements. The standard... more

After reading some of the reviews about this hotel I was a little worried that we would be staying there. But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. We were upgraded on check-in to a lovely spacious suite with a very comfortable king sized bed and a balcony with a view of the ocean and the mountains. The room... more
