I always try to assume the worst so when I get there and all the complaints I read about don't exist, I'm even happier I stayed here. This place was wonderful. First off, you are staying on Waikiki so the compaints about the noise, get over it. Stay somewhere else if you don't want to hear the street performers. I... more

We really enjoyed Hawaii and the Moana Surfrider is probably the nicest hotel i've ever stayed in. It has the perfect mix of modern luxury with an almost colonial historic atmoshere. We had a superb stay. Everything about the hotel is luxurious. We were on our honeymoon and the staff couldn't have been been more helpful. We were offered a... more

I should know not to talk things up, but after booking a room in the Tower Wing at the Moana Surfrider, I told my wife several times that this would be the best hotel room we have ever stayed in. Since the rate was $500 a night, and since we've stayed in some really nice hotels in prime locations for... more

My husband and I stayed at the Moana Surfrider from June 4th -June 10th (2008). We stayed in an Ocean front room in the Diamond Wing of the resort. I have read a few negative reviews about the Diamond Wing of the Surfrider. We loved our ocean front room. It was very clean! No dirty carpets, no broken air conditioner,... more

We stayed here for 5 nights and had 2 rooms in the tower with the partial ocean view. I think they have a great way to greet you with the Guava Juice and warm towel. We also were allowed to check into the hotel early. Both rooms were big enough for the amount of people we had. The hotel itself... more

This review comes a little late but is in keeping with most of the other comments on the Tower Wing outside room. We could NOT get the room cool enough to sleep in. My lovely wife is always cold even in an 80 degree room and she couldn't sleep because the room was too hot. Maintenance brought a fan and... more

We just completed a three day stay at the Moana Surfrider, having checked out this morning. I can say without exception that it was the best hotel stay we have ever had. Those with an appreciation of historic, (circa 1901), architecture would likely be thrilled with a room in the historic Banyan Tree or Diamond wings of the hotel. Folks... more

My husband and I stayed at the Moana Surfrider one night on our way from Milwaukee to French Polynesia. We booked our room through Starwood using points and we were very pleased. Our reservation was for a Diamond Wing room. We arrived about noon on a Friday and were delighted to find that our room was ready. We found all... more

Since I was a kid, I always felt a certain mystic for the Moana Surfrider hotel. The Banyan Tree and courtyard, the pillars as you enter. 30 years later, I finally stay to celebrate our 15th anniversary. Wow, what a disappointment! We had an Ocean View Room in the Diamond Wing. While the view from the balcony was spectacular, the... more
