At first I did not have an immediate good first impression of this hotel. You walk into the lobby and it is paneled and has the feel of 1970's Hawaii. We then thought we were in trouble when we were informed that we had only booked for two people so only had one bed in the room and we would... more

This is a truly amazing hotel. Wonderful oasis in the heart of Honolulu, and on the whole service was truly excellent - exactly what you would expect from a 5* hotel. Very relaxing. Restaurants were excellent - relaxed, great food, helpful and attentive staff. Was able to walk in to the spa with no booking, again great service. Nice rooms,... more

We arrived at the Halekulani for our honeymoon on 6/10/08. We were disappointed upon arriving with the crowded area, with so many hotels and buildings on top of one another, and the construction that was going on right across the street. We hoped that the hotel and room itself would be better. But our room turned out to be unimpressive... more

My wife and I stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon in early May. It was the perfect place to be pampered by the pool after enjoying a week on the more rural/exploratory/hands-on island of Kauai. I booked this place based on the reviews on tripadvisor and its reputation of having top-notch service, and I must say... more

Visiting Honolulu to celebrate my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary--we chose the Halekulani hotel for its perfect location, and understated accomodations. It was the amazing service we received that will bring us back. Check in took place in the room rather than in the lobby. The hotel had offered us a choice of an ocean front room or a suite. We... more

We had three wonderful nights at the Halekulani 24/5 - 26/5. We travelled with two other couples and we were celebrating our 50th birthdays. We booked through our travel agent and requested ocean front rooms. On arrival we were greeted with smiles and friendly humour by the porters but as we arrived early morning our rooms were not ready. Reception... more

The Halekulani is a pretty nice hotel. They greet you and take you up to your room to register. I booked a "DiamondHead" Ocean Front room which was about $600/night. Not sure it was worth it, but I haven't stayed anywhere else in Waikiki. The view was pretty amazing. They give you a bottle of water on arrival, along with... more

Great location...beautiful room..my husband and I came with friends for a 3 day stay..We had a jr suite and we had ocean views on both sides of room with a beautiful balcony. The service was not as personal as I would have expected..Beautiful pool area..We all prefer a beach..but the beach was so small only a few people could sit...Visted... more

As previous reviews have noted this is an excellent hotel in the midst of the crowds and chaos of the beach. Service is excellent. Pool is generous considering the location and hotel size. Surrounding area has had a facelift. There are numerous dining options of all price ranges in the immediate area--no need for a car. Rooms are understated polynesian... more
