I've read negative reviews of the Halekulani and I really don't understand why some of those guests were so picky. Our expectations were high, given the pricing of this hotel and its reputation, but not so high that we were expecting miracles. This is a wonderful hotel that is perhaps a little tired in places, but you surely can't beat... more

An absolutely first class facility with first class service. The best Mai Tai I had in Hawaii and the surf and turf (off the menu) at Orchids and it was FANTASTIC!! The room was smaller than we thought it would be but that is as to be expected in a metropolis. Would absolutely go back!! Important note: they have a... more

I am not a resort person but my husband is so we booked this for 5 nights at the end of June to celebrate our 4th anniversary and my son's 21st birthday. I knew when I booked it that it is in the middle of Waikiki but when we drove up I felt a bit anxious that we were driving... more

My husband and I stayed here for the last 2 nights of our 2 week honeymoon - this hotel goes above and beyond in many ways! The service is wonderful - everyone is very accommodating! The entire hotel is immaculate, the rooms are perfect! There are many fine touches - little surprises on our pillow left at turndown - as... more

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The service was amazing, we loved it. We don't normally stop in such nice hotels so maybe we were bowled over more than those who stop in 5 star all the time? But no one could fault the attention detail from the staff. They knew were on honeymoon and gave us a... more

This hotel is not just the best on the Hawaiian Islands, it may well be the best hotel in the entire 50 states! We can echo the superlatives expressed by other reviewers and our only regret is that, due to work commitments, we aren't able to stay at the Halekulani more often. There is no area where the Halekulani doesn't... more

At first I did not have an immediate good first impression of this hotel. You walk into the lobby and it is paneled and has the feel of 1970's Hawaii. We then thought we were in trouble when we were informed that we had only booked for two people so only had one bed in the room and we would... more

This is a truly amazing hotel. Wonderful oasis in the heart of Honolulu, and on the whole service was truly excellent - exactly what you would expect from a 5* hotel. Very relaxing. Restaurants were excellent - relaxed, great food, helpful and attentive staff. Was able to walk in to the spa with no booking, again great service. Nice rooms,... more

We arrived at the Halekulani for our honeymoon on 6/10/08. We were disappointed upon arriving with the crowded area, with so many hotels and buildings on top of one another, and the construction that was going on right across the street. We hoped that the hotel and room itself would be better. But our room turned out to be unimpressive... more
