Hotels near Saint Augustine by-the-Sea in Honolulu

I paid the resort fee and deposit with my card when I checked in in the morning, but when I went to the front desk to pick up my room key in the afternoon, I was charged the resort fee and deposit again. Even if I told him that I had paid when I checked in earlier, he insisted that I could pay. It's not for me, it's for my husband. Even though I said it was strange that I had reserved only one room for two people, I was told to pay. I asked someone who could speak Japanese to take over the phone and explain things to me, and they finally gave me the room key, but there was no explanation or apology as to why it happened. I was handed the room key with a defiant attitude. And, as expected, I was charged at the restaurant even though I made a reservation with a plan that included breakfast. If the front desk is that much, well, I thought it would be like that. I'm scared of what I'll be charged next time when I check out tomorrow. Is Marriott a hotel like that? I come to Hawaii every year, but I will never stay at a Marriott again. It's a shame because the location and facilities are fine.

The hotel is an affordable price with simple and clean environment. The room looks new and tidy which make me pick for my four nights stay. More importantly they offer cheap parking charge compared to other hotels in Waikiki. There are two bottle of water to be provided each day and you can redeem for free in front desk which is appreciated, you can also take the refilling water in lobby. Microwave is provided in each room too.

This's my first time booking through ”trip” app. I glad i did. Our room is corner views where we got both the view from diamond head and oceanfront. This's the best experience i have. We arrived at the hotel on a Friday night around 7pm Hawaii time. Didn't expect they were doing fireworks around 8pm. I got to see it right from my window view. Omg.....i was breaking in tears where i haven't experience of fireworks this close before. I wish they allow video reviews in here where i can share my recording of the fireworks to you all. My daily views from my room are the best everyday and night throughout our stay. We walked around the beaches, restaurants and stores around the hotel area everynight before bed. Anyway, thank you for the awesome experience and memories. Love it so much and totally recommend.

It is a hotel with a very nice view, probably because I am on the 17th floor and have a corner room. I can see the sea and the entire bustling city. The room is clean and cleaned every day, so it is good. There are many Japanese people in Hawaii. Generally, the overall service in places where Japanese people gather is not bad, so it is relatively reliable. If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely continue to choose this hotel.

It is newly decorated in a Japanese style. The fixed seaside view is that the beach is not a full sea view. Most of the Japanese customers also have exclusive services. It is friendly to children. There are children's pools and water play facilities, and there is also an infinity pool with an adult bar. It is great not to disturb each other. There is a Lawson convenience store, an ice cream shop, etc. just below, with complete facilities, it is worth living in!

Stayed here for 1 week,location is great. Right on Waikiki. This hotel doesn’t have its own beach but offers free sitting chairs to bring with you to the beach and towels. Takes 20secs to the beach.Really tall hotel so you can see sunset over the ocean,staff is SUPER friendly. Building is old like all of them on Waikiki,furniture needs updating,mattress is hard but they give you 4 pillows,asked for our room to be freshened up when came back sheets and duvet cover never got changed.Asked next day to freshen up and left sheets same way.Not sure why,cleaning staff spoke perfect English!Mon&Wed they got farmers market downstairs,outrageous prices a Coconut for $20US, a small cup of fruits for $20US,youll also find bracelets and other junk! Overall it’s affordable and central,we didn’t eat on the resort nor used their spa so can’t recommend!

Booked this in 2019 for our 20th anniversary and had to cancel due to COVID and they said they would honor my booked rate for the next year. Had to cancel again and they honored my price for 2022! I was impressed with that. Hotel is in a great location-you can play in the ocean and see Diamond Head and we were lucky enough to spot two sea turtles. (one was a baby) You can walk to International Market Place, Al Moana shopping center, and Beach Walk Street with many good Restaurants. and Lewers Street. Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center down the street also. We didn't get a rental car and took an uber 4 times and had several tours booked where you get picked up and dropped off. Much cheaper than a rental car and having to pay $50 a night just to park the rental car at the hotel. Hotel was in definite need of a remodel. Was told would have a higher level room and put on first floor. We requested to move next day. Moved to 9th floor. Room was clean, hotel was clean, restaurant was very clean. People were friendly. Lots to do on Oahu. A lot of people here.

Review of Alohilani Resort where we stayed for 2 nights! Location: The location is really great. It's right in front of the beach, so it's great to play, swim, and come in from the beach There is also Cheeseburger Paradise, one of the top 3 burger restaurants in Hawaii, right next door. Maguros Spot, famous for its poke, and the famous Musubi restaurant are also nearby. Room condition: Clean, but cleaning is done once every 2 days I already knew about the cleaning part, so there was nothing inconvenient - I stayed here and moved to the next hotel, but they clean it every day! Was it good for nothing? Toothbrushes are not provided separately! I didn't even have slippers, so I brought them to my room. It's quiet, and each room has a balcony, so it's good to dry your swimsuit. Breakfast: Additional tips!!! (One star off because of him!) They said the breakfast was buffet style, so I even paid an extra fee (I thought it was 30 dollars per person). It was the worst breakfast of my life.. They say it's served like that on the weekends.. Give me a plate of fruit and a plate of bread and you're done! You can't choose the price, you have to eat what they give you. If this is the case, even if you go to a nice brunch cafe and eat it, the price is half the price and it would have been much more satisfying. Totally disappointing Additional facilities: Infinity pool is good. The infinity pool is good, and in the evening, do a DJ performance at the bar next door. There is a beam projector on the building side of the pool, and the a**osphere is good. At night, I bought a cocktail at the pub next door and ate it while swimming in the pool. There were many stars in the sky and it felt good. There is an abc store on the 1st floor, so it's convenient, and there's also Kai Coffee, one of Hawaii's top 3 cafes, so I drank one kai latte a day during my stay. Hawaii hotels are all too expensive - The entire stay was very good because I liked the location, facilities, etc. But no matter how much I think about it, the breakfast was too good - deducting one star.

Staff were great. Initial room was disappointing as the AC was in the wall causing a lot of street noise and discomfort because of where it was positioned next to the bed. We spoke to hotel staff who, offered us a higher room and we noticed the AC was a newer system, not in the wall causing open window and it was overall so much more enjoyable. The hotel is of course not 5* but the rooms were tidy and comfortable. The entrance to the pool is slightly difficult and strange with improper signage and a staircase to get there (not wheelchair friendly). In terms of location, the beach is incredibly close although the hotel is situated on a more (dodgy) street than where I stayed previously. I would stay here again if I knew I was going to be in the same room due to its price and location 😊

What do I need to say? The completeness of the trip is greatly enhanced by the scenery of the sea and sky that changes every moment in the morning/lunch/dinner. The staff here are very friendly, and the shopping/restaurants are great, especially since it's in the center of the city. The sea can be reached on foot, so be sure to rent a sunbed/parasol/beach towel (free) on the first floor and go to Waikiki Beach 👍👍👍 My next trip will definitely be here 😍
