The hotel is relatively basic. The reception is very small. I did not see anywhere for eating. The room was large and clean but again quite basic. However the location and price more than made up for this. The hotel is only a few blocks from the beach and there are plenty of bus stops right outside that make getting... more

I am a real estate agent in Canada. I really needed a break and at the same time, since I was in Honolulu for two weeks with my son, I was looking for a clean place, close to everything without having to rent a car. We spent 14 nights at the Waikiki Wave Hotel and let me tell you, what... more

Reasonably priced hotel near Wikiki Beach! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Neat and clean, first class rooms. This is a hotel without all the frills that you never use. Restaurants nearby at all price ranges. Since you are in Hawaii to tour why spend money on things you don't need! more

We were very pleased with our stay at the Aqua Waikiki Wave. The hotel was spotless. Our very large room (jr. suite) was on the corner of the hotel. We had two balconies which proved great for drying beach towels. The staff were very nice and friendly. We spent 9 nights at the hotel and because of the size of... more

We are return guests having previous stayed at this hotel in February. I am writing this review to express our disappointment at our recent stay in this hotel Aqua Waikiki Wave Resort (11th July- 18th July). We had a very unpleasant experience at this property starting with the shuttle service that was highly recommended by the hotel. The shuttle driver... more

I am disappointed as well that we did not meet your expectation, especially since you are a return guest and have a frame of reference of our service. I have investigated your experience that you shared about the shuttle and found that...

My girls under 19 soccer team were selected to play in the AYSO National Games in Waipio, HI, this meant that we had to find a hotel that could accommodate a group of 17 girls and parents. After our travel agent delayed our booking at another hotel I found the Wave on Trip Advisor and suggested that we stay there.... more

I've stayed in many hotels in the Waikiki area and found that this hotel was the best for its price. The location was good, beds were comfy, free internet, and daily paper. The only things i disliked were the high priced parking ($18 per day was kinda pricey), the pool was tiny, and the lights in the bathroom were too... more

This was the 2nd time I had stayed in this Hotel. I loved it. The staff were amazing. Very friendly and nothing was a bother (so rare these days) The hotel is located in the middle of Waikiki so it was easy to get around. Will definately be returning in the near future. more

Our family of four, including our 19 and 22 year old children, stayed at the Aqua Waikiki Wave Hotel in mid June. After an incredibly long flight from the Midwest, and the loss of one piece of luggage at the airport, we were greeted by George at the Aqua Wave front desk. George understood our frustrating day and offered to... more

After reading some reviews, I feel compelled to write and tell what a wonderful hotel this is. Our family travelled to Waikiki with another family in April of 2008. We have been to Hawaii several times and absolutely love it. When we arrived and throughout our stay we were greeted by very friendly and helpful Bell Men (Darryl and James... more
