Need recommendation for best oceanfront hotel in Waikiki please

[Linny]

I've stayed in Waikiki a few times now but the last time I was there was in 2000 so my memory of where the top hotels are located is hazy (and we stayed in a hotel a few blocks back from the beach.)

My husband and I are going to Waikiki as part of his 40th birthday celebrations next year and would like to ideally stay right on the beach in a location central to restaurants, international market place, etc.

I would be very interested to hear your recommendations please? We don't want to spend more than $300USD per night for a room if possible.

Thanks

I stayed at the Hyatt and it is perfect for what you are asking. Great rooms. Nice open air feel. and cross the road and beach sand is in-between your toes

Stayed at the Sheraton last Xmas - has been renovated and is perfect for location. Right on the beach.

Have a look at the Trip Advisor website.
Do a search for Honolulu & look at their Forum ( left hand side of the page).
Excellent forum for hotel information & lots of advice from locals & travellers as well.
There are plenty of hotels there that suit different needs & budgets.

We are going in July. Staying at Outrigger on the Reef this time.

Enjoy

This is what I was talking about.

Linny, I've just returned from Hawaii & stayed at Westin Moana Surfrider, & would highly recommend a partial ocean view room if your budget allows. I've also stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki which has lovely spacious rooms, but can be a little noisy (thin walls). Can also recommend the Hyatt, but that's not directly on the beach.

Sheraton is right on the beach and Hyatt is one street back. Both very nice with the Hyatt closer to shops etc

Thanks everyone. Ranger, thanks for tripadvisor suggestion.

For $300USD per night I would go straight to the Royal Hawaiian - do not consider anything else IMHO

Have a look at my detailed hotel review below, where I've reviewed 3 of the 4 hotels that are sitting on top of Waikiki Beach!

We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village last new year's eve in the Aliiaa Tower directly on the beach with great views. Aliia Tower has its own pool and club area where they serve canapes in the evening. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the village.
