I had a really enjoyable experience at this hotel, especially with the direct access to Waikiki Beach and the incredible views of Diamond Head. The staff were mostly cheerful and hospitable, adding to the overall positive vibe. However, I found the dining options on the pricey side for what was offered, and the noise from the nearby hustle and bustle was a bit distracting at times. All in all, it was a lovely stay, but be ready for those extra costs.

The Moana Surfrider boasts stunning grounds and a fantastic beachside location. While I appreciated the beautiful outdoor areas and the range of cultural activities, the rooms left a bit to be desired, feeling a little outdated and not as clean as expected. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the dining options, although high-quality, could be pricey for some. Overall, it's great for those looking for a picturesque stay but be prepared for a few shortcomings in the rooms.

The Surfrider offers a blend of historical charm and modern amenities, making it a unique place to stay. I've enjoyed the cozy ambiance and proximity to the beach, but I experienced significant issues with my check-in process that left a less-than-ideal impression. The quality of dining is decent, although the service can be slow at times. Overall, it's a lovely hotel with room for improvement in certain areas.

7.0/10

The Moana Surfrider has a rich history that makes it an interesting place to stay, right in the heart of Waikiki. The location is superb for accessing the beach and local amenities, and the room quality is comfortable, although on the smaller side. Service has its ups and downs, especially around the pool area, where we encountered issues with chairs being reserved and not available. Dining options are decent, but the cost feels a bit high given the amenities.

Rooms

The rooms are somewhat small but nice and comfortable, particularly those overlooking the courtyard. While they provide a pleasant stay, they don't offer a vibrant city view.

Service

The hotel's location is fantastic, with direct beach access and close proximity to numerous shops and restaurants in Waikiki.

Dining

The hotel has decent facilities, though the pool area is often crowded and lacks management to free up loungers that are not in use.
