I enjoyed the building and the grounds but ate, drank, and had fun at other places in Waikiki.

Liked:My room was great. The hotel inside and out is beautiful.

Disliked:The bar had terrible food and not so great drinks. We ended up just drinking the Hawaiian beer on tap and that was good. Nobody ever came to take my drink order while at the pool and I had to go to the bar to get our drinks. The worst thing about the hotel was the coffee and waiting in lines to get a bad cup of coffee. I feel a luxury hotel should offer coffee free in the lobby to their guests. I never felt that having the pink wristband offered me anything. I understand there are lots of people wandering through the lobby and hotel grounds and the hotel doesn't want to offer free coffee to people not staying at the hotel. Why give us the pink hotel bands? Oh, I know, that's for the honor of reserving an umbrella with chaise on the beach. However, to reserve an umbrella with chaise, I must stand in a line. Just like the coffee. This is a beautiful place and I love old hotels but this is not luxury when I must be in line by 7am to reserve a chaise or get a cup of coffee. People who stay in luxury hotels DO NOT want this kind of experience.

unique and special

Liked:We were guests in a 2 double premier ocean view room in the Mailani Tower on June 3 thru June 5, 2026. The room was lovely, the view from the balcony was spectacular. Comfortable mattresses, spacious bathroom, and an unusually large balcony (lanai.) The pool was small and yet still charming. Actually the pool size didn't matter because Royal Hawaiian guests have access to the Sheraton's large pool playground. And frankly we weren't there for the pool, we were there for... the beach. There are 2 reasons that the Royal Hawaiian is such a special and unique hotel: 1) the proximity to the beach. The vast majority of the hotels in Waikiki are across the street from the beach, whereas the Royal Hawaiian is right next to the sand. 2) the gardens. This may seem like an unimportant detail, because most people (myself included!) don't pick their hotel because of pretty flowers. But the landscaping is what sets this hotel apart from every other Waikiki hotel. Once you arrive at the Royal Hawaiian, you're no longer in urban downtown Honolulu. You step out of a big city and into a pink Moroccan palace inside a lush tropical rain forest filled with singing birds and enormous trees and exotic plants. It's tranquil and beautiful. You're walking into a surreal dream that's genuinely awe-inspiring. It's all an illusion, of course, because actually you ARE in a big city full of the traffic and noise that every big city has. Nevertheless, the illusion is convincing and satisfying, entirely because of the architecture and the gorgeous gardens. Finally, a word about the service. Every employee we encountered was friendly and professional. We never had any problems with the staff, everyone delivered great customer service. In particular we were especially impressed with Dana, a server at the Mai Tai Bar. We dined at the Mai Tai Bar twice, and the second time there was an unpleasant situation that was entirely our fault. Dana helped us solve this problem, even though it was not easy to solve. She handled the situation perfectly and we appreciate her efforts.
