Prince Waikiki

Good location, good in-room facilities, good view, nice staff

No beach

Our stay at Prince Waikiki was fine in some respects, but ultimately disappointing for the type of hotel it presents itself to be. The room and views were pleasant, and the location can be convenient depending on what you want to do in Honolulu. The staff we interacted with were generally nice. That said, the overall experience did not feel like a true luxury stay, especially after coming from a much more personal and peaceful property earlier in our trip. One of the biggest disappointments was the pool experience. We specifically valued the idea of an adults-only infinity pool, but that was not meaningfully enforced during our stay. There were teenagers in the adults-only area and loud children in the adjacent pool area, so the pool deck did not have the serene, elevated feel we were hoping for. For travelers who are choosing a property partly for a quieter, more adult atmosphere, this is important. We also found some of the marketing around the views to be a bit overstated. The ocean views are nice, but the hotel overlooks the marina/harbor rather than offering the kind of direct, immersive Pacific Ocean experience the language might suggest. Breakfast was another weak point. The food itself was not the issue so much as the operation. There was a long line, and it appeared that only one host was managing room and breakfast verification, which created an unnecessary bottleneck and made the experience feel less polished than expected. Overall, Prince Waikiki is not a bad hotel, but it did not deliver the level of quiet, service flow, or luxury atmosphere we were hoping for on an anniversary trip. For the price point and positioning, I expected more. We would likely choose a different property on a future visit to Oahu.

We were here from June 16-25th and we had the best experience with Kim Ibay. She was accommodating and very knowledgeable on the topics we needed to know.

Exceptional place to stay! All of the staff were friendly & helpful and check-in was quick and easy. The views from our room and the pool were beautiful. All areas of the hotel were very clean. We will definitely stay here again.

Enjoy the buffet! Our waitress Willene are the best waitress ever met! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! We’ll be back.

Returned after 5 years, from Honeymoon to now as a family with 2 kids. The staff are still amazingly friendly, especially the front desk, bellmen and Jorge at 100 Sails! I hate to say this but the property has not been maintained well since the last stay. Pool deck has loose planks all over popping up, which caused me to slip. Staff were quick to cover up the broken plank but it clearly was not the first time it’s happened. This is while exposing rusty nails in a family area. Not sure if it’s the design of where the pool is situated between the two towers but the wind level is just unbearable. Can not relax at all and too cold for young kids to stay for too long. Overall, I would not choose to come back as a family. As a couple perhaps still ok but definitely not a family friendly hotel.

Peter was very helpful, welcoming and kind. This is our second visit and he was assigned to our table twice and treated us as family. Kindness can never be taken for granted. I hope other workers can learn from his sincerity.

We love it here! From check in to check out, our experience is always top notch. The view, the beds, the Mālie soap (mmmmmmm!), the pool, the cabanas, the service — we love it all!

We recently stayed at the Prince Waikiki and had a fantastic experience from beginning to end. We were on the 29th floor, and the views alone made the stay memorable. Waking up each morning and seeing the ocean and marina from such a high floor was absolutely beautiful, especially at sunrise and in the evenings. The hotel itself was very clean, modern, and well maintained. Our room was comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the overall atmosphere of the property - it felt upscale without being overly formal. One thing that stood out was the service. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The staff made us feel valued throughout our stay and added to the overall experience. We also loved the location. It was close enough to enjoy Waikiki beaches, shopping, restaurants, and activities, but it felt a little more peaceful and less crowded than staying right in the middle of the busiest areas. It was a nice balance of convenience and relaxation. Overall, the Prince Waikiki exceeded our expectations and helped make our trip even more enjoyable. We left with great memories and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for beautiful views, excellent service, and a relaxing Waikiki experience.
