Kualoa Ranch

We LOVE this hotel. This was our 7th time staying here, and we will continue to stay there well into the future. From the minute you get there, you are treated with respect and like family (ohana). The grounds are immaculately maintained and there are flowers and good scents around every corner. I will note - prices are outrageous. Drinks at the Mai Tai bar are great, but service is a little slow and very pricey. We ate at Azure for breakfast and it was a GREAT experience. Elaine, our server, was amazing and made it that much better. If you can swing it, get a beach umbrella. It gives you guaranteed shade and a place to sit and that is priceless. The hotel is located in a prime spot. Great breach, but also right in the middle of the city. You can walk anywhere. There are plenty of spots to shop and eat within walking distance. Don't be afraid to get off the main street and try a little restaurant and offers local food. Well worth it. Royal Hawaiian - we can't wait to come back next year.

Ocean view room with balcony was great. Lovely pools for adults and for families with children. Fun for all. Good food. Plethora of shopping and Resturant’s. Wonderful Waikīkī beach.

The property is close to the beach but it seems outdated.
