Situated 300 feet above the sea with sweeping views of three Hawaiian Islands, Hotel Wailea, Relais & Chateaux - Adults Only features luxurious facilities and spacious suites.

Guests can enjoy the stunning views of the ocean. Everything about Hotel Wailea is amazing. The food is incredible - The Birdcage, The Restaurant, and even the poolside food. We also did the luxe picnic and that food was fantastic as well. The hotel really goes out of their way to provide a quiet, romantic, and unique experience. The suites are large, well furnished, and comfortable. There is even a small kitchen with nespresso, a toaster, microwave, plates and utensils, refrigerator, freezer, cups. No, it’s not on the beach… however, if you want to go, let them know which beach and they’ll provide you chairs and an umbrella and they’ll drop you off and come pick you up. It’s absolutely worth the price for the serenity: nothing is crowded, no fighting for pool chairs or dinner reservations.

Offering an outdoor pool with a sun deck and BBQ facilities, Luana Waikiki Hotel & Suites, is 10 minutes’ walk to Waikiki Beach.

A flat-screen TV is included in each air-conditioned guest room at Luana Waikiki. Select rooms offer a balcony, kitchenette or full kitchen. This hotel is in a good location if you don't plan on using a car but just going to the beach and walking around the area. There is a military museum right next to the hotel as well as lots of shops and cafes. The room we had was spacious and comfortable with a great selection of TV channels, of course if you're staying in a hotel room although I don't think anyone would stay in a room when in Hawaii. Even though we were on a lower floor and the room faced the street we didn't hear too much noise. The room was clean and had everything you needed to cook basic meals, a small kitchen with everything you need. The pool is ok but you have to be careful if you're not a swimmer as one part is shallow and then you go straight into the deeper part. The gym is small but has everything you need to stay in shape. You also have a barbecue area which I highly recommend as you can have a barbecue with your family and enjoy the view of the park. The hotel staff are excellent and all praise for them. If all hotels had such smiling and helpful staff, no hotel guest would ever be dissatisfied with the service. They deserve all the praise and a pay raise.

The beachfront LuLu's Waikiki serves Island and Asian-American dishes all day and offers late-night entertainment and dancing. A quick-service restaurant offers casual fare and organic, gourmet picnic fixings. Loved the super helpful staff and the location. Room was a little noisy due to loud music coming from vehicles at night which is no fault of the hotel. Great access to surf beach
