Top Waikiki Shell Hotel Reviews

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Liked that it is across the beach, proximity to stores, restaurants, and shopping areas. Since our flight was early and we arrived early, I understand that checking in early is a hit or miss...however, we didn't get checked in until it is 5 minutes to 4 pm. We arrived Waikiki at 10 am...yes, we were able to leave our luggages, walked around, ate lunch, and kill a lot of time, I called before we went back to the hotel, but was told we can try but not guaranteed, since my Mom and I are dead tired coming from CA and waking up at 3 am to catch our 7 am flight, we were praying and hoping that they'd let us check in at least by 2 pm, We got there, and was told the room is not ready and is guaranteed 4 pm check in. Why are guests required to check out at 11 am, and yet the rooms are not ready until 4 pm? And it does not help when the receptionist does not show any empathy (sincere or not) to dead-tired guests like ours. Don't put unfriendly employees in the lobby that checks in guests."

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay, the room was amazing and we loved everything about it"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Great location with shopping and restaurants close by. Beautiful beach right across the street. Will definitely stay here again when returning to Waikiki Beach."

Park Shore Waikiki

8/10 Good

"Honestly, this hotel is in a great location. We paid extra to have poolside which I thought would be really fun for the kids however, the sliding glass door was almost impossible to open and close not to mention guest from the hotel would sit in our lounge chairs that clearly said that they were reserved for our room or they would leave their stuff on our table out on our front lanai area. The room is also a lot smaller than what it appears on the photos but overall based off of the location I still gave this four stars and we would definitely come back. The kids loved going to the zoo across the street. That was a huge plus!"

Kaimana Beach Hotel

"My 3rd time staying at Kaimana Beach Hotel. I had some issues on my door as it wouldn’t lock all the way, I have to push it hard it order for it to lock. TVs should be upgraded to smart TVs. Overall I still love this hotel as it’s beachfront and I really enjoyed and loved my early morning swims"

EPIC 30th Flr Oceanview Studio B Waikiki-Bargain FREE Beach Gear w/True Kitchen
