Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

Huge thanks to Evan the general cashier at the pool snack bar for going above and beyond to track down a water bottle that was on display in the hotel but unavailable in the gift shop! You made our friend’s day! Hotel mgr please recognize this young man for his service!

Updated lobby. Good location. Still has a nice sandy beachfront which are rapidly disappearing at the other Waikiki beach front hotels. Avoid the Banyan wing rooms in the original portion of the hotel and only book the Tower rooms which are newer and have balconies. Banyan wing rooms are smallish, tiny postage stamp bathrooms and no balconies. Pool area needs updating and new lounge chairs. Bed was very comfortable and wifi and tv very good.

Would not go back. The walls are paper thin. When my neighbors alarm went off in the morning next door it woke me up. No pool chairs because they let people leave towels all day and no beach chairs to rent because there are very few. They charge both a resort fee and a valet fee daily which are over $100 extra total daily. Not worth it. Moved part way through trip

Great historical hotel in a great location, unfortunately the noise in the room at night was unacceptable due to loud music and crowds, The pool chairs around the pool were also the worst and most uncomfortable I have ever seen at any resort, that's if you could get one there did not seem to be any preference given to hotel guest's for tables at the beach bar either, my other issue is the hotel over charged our card on file by hundreds of dollars and when we checked out they said that should be refunded but it can take a while, that is unacceptable to take more money than we had even spent before we even checked out.

Phenomenal property. Exceptional execution by all team members from valet, to bell hop, cultural ambassador, front desk staff, food and beverage team, breakfast restaurant, pool bar, pool staff, housekeeping, security, maintenance, general manager, EVERYONE! Special kudos to the ownership group, Kyo-ya hotels, for maintaining and investing in this historical gem on Waikiki. We’ve been coming here for almost 12 years now and it’s truly one of our favorite hotels in the world. There is not enough space in this review to write all of the wonderful names of the team members who have made this property our home away from home. We know who you are and I’m quite sure you know who this is! :) “Malasadas for everyone!” See you soon! Mahalo!
