Waikiki, Honolulu's beach district, offers over a dozen resorts from all-suite family properties to luxury beachfront icons. Many sit on Waikiki Beach or a short walk away, providing pools, spas, and multiple dining options. The Embassy Suites by Hilton features suites with free breakfast and a heated pool. The 22-acre Hilton Hawaiian Village includes five pools and a lagoon. For luxury, the Halekulani (Superb 93) charges no resort fee and offers fine dining and an oceanfront spa.
Travelers should factor in nightly resort fees, which vary by property. The historic Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort, has the only oceanfront spa in Waikiki, while the pink Royal Hawaiian offers two pools and cultural activities. Hyatt Regency Waikiki teaches hula and ukulele at its cultural center. Budget-conscious visitors can consider Hyatt Centric Waikiki Beach for a modern, streamlined experience.
