Beautiful pool, rooms, hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 7, 2025
I splurged and allowed myself a stay in the beautiful Halepuna over a conference weekend. I've stayed in several different hotels in the Waikiki area and I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The fitness room and pool are top-notch, and the bathroom is modern and bright. I've enjoyed soaking in the spacious tub every night. The one thing I wish the room had is a microwave. Otherwise, this place is close to perfect!

The resort is quite lovely and modern. However the rooms are very small and the balcony was literally 10 inches wide. If you are traveling for business, it would be an adequate, perhaps even nice, hotel. However if you are traveling for sun, surf or pleasure, keep in mind that there are no facilities outside of the rooms . . .no lounges, no amenities, and the pool is in shade until 3:00 pm. There are 6 chairs that in the sun during the day, and all the rest are shaded except for 60- 90 minutes a day beginning at 3 pm.

Wonderful hotel in Waikiki. We really enjoyed the building and the friendly staff! The location is great and easily accessible to everything. The only thing that is needed is some room maintenance. Wallpaper peeling in both the rooms we had seems fixable.

This is our third time in Halepuna for our anniversary. The staffs are extremely welcoming and made us feel like home. The location and the view from the room are amazing. We love it as always and will definitely come back.

Halepuna is supposed to be a brand new hotel (3 years old) but when you look around you see things not working quite right.

We'll start with the good. The location right near the main strip is excellent. Everything in Waikiki and even ala Moana is walkable.

The hotel is nice and clean. They give you nice reusable water bottles at check in.

But let's delve into the weirdness and negatives;
* They are super cheap with the soap and shampoo. Like you get one tiny tube for each day per room. You can ask for more but really this is annoying.
* The coin operated (yes you read that right) washing machine didn't work. I wasted $4.50 and an hour of time waiting for a machine that didn't actually get my clothes wet. I asked for a refund from the front desk but the lady asked me if I put detergent in the machine. Yes I did but why does it matter? They finally coughed up 18 quarters but what am I supposed to do with them ?
* The gym is a joke. Tiny and chopped up with minimal equipment. You want water or need to go use the bathroom? You need to go outside. They have Christmas carols playing nonstop 4 days after the actual holiday. The metal fence outside the gym is literally rusted.
* The front desk staff is generally rude. They do the absolute minimum with a lousy attitude. Seriously I'm in paradise on vacation and I've had better hotel staff interactions in the Central Valley California.
* one day they forgot to clean the room. I called the front desk at 9pm and they only offered to send new towels. Not awesome.
* the pool looks ok in pictures, but it's actually small and shaded by surrounding buildings. You have to squint to see the sliver of visible ocean from this poolside.
* the phone charger on the clock phone thing will take a week to charge your iPhone.
* you need a phd to figure out the light switches in the room.
* the thermostat display is almost unreadable. So set your own preferred temperature by pure guesswork.
* the bathtub walls are just tall enough to bump into or trip over every time you enter or exit the shower zone. Seriously it's an accident waiting to happen.
