My family stayed at the Wave for four nights, 2 in June and 2 in July. We had to make our flight connections in Honolulu for our trip to the big island and Kauai so we added an extra night each way to enjoy Oahu. Overall it was a great deal and the location is fantastic, right next to the... more

We were in Hawaii for what was to be a week of fun and relaxation, and we were supposed to stay with someone we knew who has a condo in Waikiki. It worked out very badly, so we were in need of a hotel QUICKLY, and the Aqua Waikiki Wave was the only one that had a room that wasn't... more

Myself, my wife and two kids (14 & 10) stayed at the Aqua Waikiki Wave for four nights from the 26th to the 30th of June, 2008. After reading dozens of reviews we chose the Aqua Waikiki Wave and booked a Junior Suite for $113 a night plus taxes direct from the hotel website. We checked it often and altered... more

Beware of bed bugs..again....room 703!!!! We stayed here for 11 nights and on our 2nd night we had bed bugs bite/rash on our legs. We informed front desk and asked them to change the sheets hoping that would solve the problem but it did not. They offered to move us to another room but the idea of bed bugs in... more

This place is great! From the time I flew in to HI, called and requested early check-in after flying through the night (from Tokyo to HI with 2 young children), it was no problem and the staff was always around to help. The hotel was welcoming and had a homey comfortable feel. Really treated you like family instead of "guests".... more

My husband and I stayed at the Wave while we were in town for a family wedding. The price was good for being so close to Waikiki Beach - only a block or two away - and near shops, restaurants and about 8 ABC stores. Because it's in downtown Honolulu, it can be pretty loud at night, but the staff... more

Just stayed at the Wave 25-30th June and it was pretty good. First of all i am a travel agent so i can say i would honestly send my clients here if they were looking for a moderate accomodation. Front staff were friendly and efficient, rooms were very clean and comfortable (great beds), i would say it is a very... more

We spent six nights at the Wave, from June 17-23. We rented a car and finding the hotel was easy. Finding the parking was not. After our fourth trip around the block, we finally figured out that the parking was the driveway just past the hotel if you are heading west on Kuhio Ave. There were no spots in the... more

Wow!! If you want a less expensive hotel off the beach, this is it!! Sit back this may take a couple of minutes. We were here 3 nights. We had a King bed suite on the 9th floor, so the garbage pick up was not very loud. The room was really clean, and the bed was very comfortable. After we... more
