Located in the heart of Waikiki, 2 minutes' walk to Waikiki Beach, Halepuna Waikiki is a luxury boutique hotel surrounded by shopping and dining. The property was designed by internationally acclaimed interior design firm, Champalimaud and features works of several Hawaiian artists in partnership with The Honolulu Museum of Art public art program. This was honestly, one of the only times where I've stayed at a hotel and the room looked EXACTLY as it's shown in the photos-- Every other time you can tell the photos have been strategically taken, but not here! The location is great, the room was exceptional; the view was stunning, it's wonderfully quiet, the pool is beautiful and all the staff were incredibly helpful.

VIVE Hotel Waikiki is a 100% non-smoking boutique hotel, just 4 minutes’ walk from Waikiki Beach, offers free WiFi and modern guest rooms with mountain, city or ocean views. Diamond Head is 3.2 km away. We had a very pleasant experience staying at Vive hotel Waikiki. Our first stay was for a week in a Junior Suite Ocean View room, and we were very happy with it. The size of the room was perfect! It was clean, well-maintained, and the daily housekeeping was excellent. The room had a spacious bathroom and a view of the ocean. The location of the hotel is unbeatable—you can walk to the beach in just 5 minutes, which made our stay incredibly convenient. Additionally, there’s an amazing poke place, Maguro spot, located right across the hotel, which was a delightful bonus. It’s hard to imagine a better combination of location and quality for a stay in Waikiki. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist, which added to the overall comfort of our stay. After spending a few days on the Big Island and Maui, we realized even more how great this hotel was in terms of service and overall experience. We decided to come back for a few extra days and stayed in a standard room this time. The standard room size was perfectly fine—despite some reviews mentioning it being small, we didn’t find that to be the case. It was clean, comfortable, and met all our needs. Overall, this hotel offers an excellent combination of location, cleanliness, and quality service. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waikiki.
