Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, Honolulu

Advantages: Beach Front Location
Disadvantages: Expensive food

...The Marriott Waikiki Beach is in a prime location directly adjacent to Wakkiki Beach. Beautiful views and central to the Wakkiki life of Honolulu. If you want a true Hawaii experience then Wakkiki is not for you. Wakkiki is an excellent spot for surfing and lounging on the beach although avoid the sun aroun mid-day and if tehre are no locals surfing dont surf!!! The Marriot itself has spaceous rooms and many have views of the hillside of the sea. There are two places to eat in the Marriot, the restuarant which has a rather limitted menu and is quite expencive and the terrace cafe on the thrid floor. The cafe is next to one of the swimming pools so the fabric seats are often wet and the menu is also limited and again expensive. The cafe has live music which may not be to everyones taste but is a great atmosphere if you have... Read review

...on the carousel. We decided to take a cab to our hotel rather than the cheaper option of the shuttle. It was going on midnight and we just wanted to get to the hotel. It cost about $25 for the cab and the cabbie did the usual trick of taking the tourists to the wrong hotel. “Sorry, I thought you said The Park Hotel, not the Waikiki Parc Hotel “, yeah right! Hubby still gave the man a tip though which didn’t go down well with me at all. We checked in, got to our room and crashed. The hotel (Waikiki Parc) was excellent and I highly recommend it to one and all. ~ FIRST IMPRESSIONS ~ When most people think of Hawaii, images of Waikiki Beach generally pop into mind. Images of grand hotels on the beach front, white sands, blue skies, Diamond Head in the distance and hordes of people all enjoying the delights of the beach. Well let... Read review

...What can I say about this hotel - Wonderful!! I went last year with my daughter and all services were outstanding. Room service very speedy and food was delicious, however some meals were on the pricey side, and as the hotel has a few places to eat you'd be better off eating in one of those. Restaurants in the hotel - are the Shore Bird Restaurant & Beach Bar - amazing one of the experiences you have to try - you get to broil your own food (broil? you maybe thiking - I was! well it's similar to Bar-B-Qing but on a hotplate of sorts) first you choose your own food, (mainly fresh local fish) season, and throw on the "broiler". Then you choose all your extras and sit down in the beach front restaurant and enjoy the sun setting over waikiki beach - PERFECT! Most nights you have entertainment, generally hawaii local music - very low... Read review
