Ka Laʻi Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Room 3102 - Best Hotel stay we’ve ever experienced! We celebrated our upcoming November, December and January birthdays by staying st the Ka La’i LXR Waikiki. We can’t say enough about the service we’ve experienced. The valet people, the front desk staff, the breakfast staff were all friendly and helpful. Our two bedroom suite was excellent. We loved the floor layout and the fully equipped kitchen. I’m not a swimmer but I really enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and the chaise lounge chairs. The king and queen beds were very comfortable. If we have another opportunity to come back we’d choose the Ka La’i again.

Not only are the views spectacular, the staff is too! The concierges, valets, and pool attendants were friendly and helpful, always with a happy greeting. The beds were so comfortable, the rooms spacious, and the food by the pool was really good. It's a minute walk to the beach. It's a few minutes walk to shops, convenience stores and restaurants. We spent our mornings exploring the island, afternoon siesta by the pool, and walking Kuhio beach area in the evenings. Want to specifically mention Jason, one of the valets. He had great local info for us, and was absolutely charming. The valets are the first staff you encounter when you arrive, and the last when you leave....I've never met friendlier. Kudos to this group!

The hotel staff is great! However, the pool is too small and the hotel apartments are a bit run down. The sheets had holes and were rough. The cooktop is old electric which half of it was not heating right. The drapes’ condition was like a motel, where you grab to open and close was all grey and dirty. They say Hilton is to do a serious renovation on the entire hotel, so there will be construction noise. I guess I will not return till after they are done and has improved the conditions.

It used to be Trump tower and it was changed to LXR Hilton. All units are a bit outdated but I could see they have a upgrades to start soon. It is a residence, meaning you have a kitchen in your unit. As all residences the F&B is limited in choices, but it is not a problem as it is located at the heart of Waikiki with a lot of F&B to choose from. Staff are nice and service from valet, concierge to housekeeping is professional and efficient. The only main downside is the swimming pool, disapointing for a large building like that. Overall excellent stay

Total luxury. From the welcome to the restaurant and large room we were surrounded by Aloha. Better than more expensive beach hotels best. As a former Kamaina the location is better as it is across from green open land of Fort DeRussy. Just a short stroll to the best beach. Use a Uber to get everywhere.
