Located in the heart of Waikiki, 2 minutes' walk to Waikiki Beach, Halepuna Waikiki is a luxury boutique hotel surrounded by shopping and dining. The property was designed by internationally acclaimed interior design firm, Champalimaud and features works of several Hawaiian artists in partnership with The Honolulu Museum of Art public art program. Liked everything in this hotel! Staff are pleasant and always smiling, our room is super clean, and the swimming pool is super clean as well that the water is so clear! Location is near the waikiki beach and the Royal Hawaiian Center. Also liked that across the hotel is a public access to the beach which is not very crowded. We appreciated that they allow access to the washroom and on the eight floor even after we checked out while we are waiting for our flight. Hotel has luggage storage service too!

Located on The Big Island of Hawaii, this accommodation is less than 5 minutes’ drive to Volcanoes National Park and Volcano Art Center Gallery. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all rooms.

Offering a fireplace, each room also includes a refrigerator, tea and coffee-making facilities and an en suite bathroom at Volcano Village Estates. Select rooms features a bar area or a bay window. We loved staying at the Village Estates the night before our wedding. The cleanest air on the island. The room was quiet, neat and clean. Very cozy cute place. The owner gave us a nice bottle of local delicious wine to help celebrate our wedding day! Thank you very much - we can’t wait to come back!

Situated 300 feet above the sea with sweeping views of three Hawaiian Islands, Hotel Wailea, Relais & Chateaux - Adults Only features luxurious facilities and spacious suites.

Guests can enjoy the stunning views of the ocean. Well, this is was a real and very pleasant surprise, since I didn't expect the hotel to be so good and luxurious. The are is so green and lush with waterfalls, trees, intimate lighting. Small buildings with 2-3 rooms in each are located far from each other to give a really secluded feeling—we never felt like we're in a huge resort facility with tons of other people. The pool is spacious, yoga and fitness center is very good, plus, you have free yoga classes every morning. Valet parking is free, and the staff will take you to the nearest town in their Mercs and Range Rovers, if you want to have a drink in a bar or a restaurant. The room had all the amenities, including a very fancy Dyson hairdryer, with a ton of free sodas and snacks (that were restocked daily). The service and the attention we got was beyond any expectations. You do feel special here. The hotel restaurant was superb. We had a chance to compare it to the famous Mama's Fish House, and just trust me on this, the latter is too overpriced for the quality and the service you get. We also got to visit the Four Seasons that was nearby, the one where they filmed the first season of The White Lotus, and boy oh boy was it disappointing. Four Seasons is an enormous anthill without any feel of a luxurious resort. So trust me on this, if you travel without children choose Hotel Wailea.
