Oahu

We arrived late to check in, but were very welcomed by staff. Surprised by the daily parking which cost nearly as much as the rental car! However, that issue aside, our stay was incredible. They have thought of everything and we could have stayed on site and never suffered. Beautiful views of the sunset every evening! Thanks, Disney.

Love the place!! I can't wait to plan another trip with the family!!! We're definitely saving up for another trip next year...

Due to somewhat disappointing weather for our week in Hawaii we had the chance to drive all around the island. This is the best location to be close to everything yet far enough away to not feel like you are in a big city. Staff was very helpful and fun. Lagoons offer a perfect spot to sun bath and swim. On the down side if you are interested in surfing you will need to drive to a different beach but this is a good short day trip to many of the beaches on the north shore of Waikiki. The room has a great view and great layout. But we we very disappointed by the digital room controls which seemed to take 3 second to respond to light switch changes.

Fun an extlting,thank you,did not want to leave,wood want to come back,

We picked this properly with very little planning. I knew of the area from being here in the past (years ago) for meals. Paid probably retail for our King sized room. It was a ocean view, but come to find out that it really faces the pool and not much of the ocean. I needed to be higher to see the actual ocean. I was on the 6th floor. Higher floors are supposely reserved for the time share people. So, right off the bad, I felt like a second-class citizen. But, I do have to say that the staff have been tremendously helpful and as accommodating as they can. We loved the fact that it's quiet, and away form the craziness of Honolulu and Waikiki. This is a great place to relax. But, we weren't too impressed with the food. We didn't go to Chuck's, since the description doesn't make it sound too special. And the Long Board place was just averge bar food type, with ingredients probably all purchased from Costco. Plus, we weren't surprised with the high cost since it's on the hotel property. So, what we ended up was to drive outside of the property--as far as back to Honolulu for the real good island/local foods. We didn't mind that at all, since once we get back to the property, we get to relax. The gym was nice, and we really enjoyed the walking path along the laguns and outside for running. Of course, the Oahu weather was simply gorgeous, even though it was a bit windy around the end of the year. Lastly we weren't too impressed with the lagoons. They sure all look very nice. But, we went into the water and it smelled funny, like sewage smelling. And the water felt stale for some reason. It just didn't feel like the real ocean water. For real Hawaii ocean experience, we went up to North Shore a couple of times and that was 10 times better. But, if you just want to layout on the sand near your room, the Lagoon is the best bet. Just don't into the water and expect fresh ocean water. If you want some quiet time for a couple, this may not be the perfect place because there are plenty of kids and it gets very noisy during the day. But, if you do have kids, bring them! All the kids seemed to be having a great time in the pools. Anyway, over all, this property is a great get-away from the busy Honolulu. Very manicured and nicely maintained. When coming here, you may also want to compare with the other properties like JW or Disney. And if you're a time-share person, it's better value than a "hotel" person. We enjoyed our times here.

fantastic,very nice location, really nice beaches , rooms were really clean when we got there and service was really great and friendly. definetly going to be going back soon.

We did not want for anything! Outstanding staff! We were on our 25th wedding anniversary and the setting did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this Villa!

This was a wonderful 3 days and I would recommend to a friend. I am planning another visit next year. There are a couple of reasons that the rating was not a 5 across the board.I made my plans in Feb. and requested a king size bed with an Ocean View. I got a room with a (1) Queen size bed with a view of the roof below me and the pool area. I could lean out over the railing on the balcony and see the ocean but not quite up to what I was looking for. There were a lot of rooms with the view that I was looking for. I did not request a different room; that was my fault. Like I said I am planning on returning and I know which room/villa to request. Regards, D. Commons

Great place for the family. Good location (away from the crowds) and kid-friendly. Loved it!!!

When I arrived they could not find my reservation, which had been made through and confirmed by a well known travel site (O). There was a long wait, but they did find a room. Area is very commercial/industrial but close to airport and very convenient if that is a priority. The room was fine, very clean, good value. On-premises restaurant not open every day.

The hotel is nothing special about the hotel but if you need a place to stay for the night before catching an early morning flight it can't beat. Rooms are clean and it does just fine for a night.

The location is perfect. It is a 7 minute walk from Ala Moana Center and even shorter for Walmart. The hotel itself is old, so you shouldn't expect too much. At least the room has a nice, cold air conditioner, mini fridge, and coffee maker. I also had a vehicle for the first 4 days and the parking was very convenient because the garage was right across the street ($10 per day charge). Unfortunately, the internet as well is not free. Overall, I still had a wonderful time visiting Hawaii for the third time and I would stay at Pagoda again.

First, the staff were wonderful, friendly and efficient. Location was okay for us. Walking distance to the Ala Moana mall (it's huge!), short drive to Waikiki and Diamond Head. Acceptable (though pricey) restaurant on the premises. The room was really spacious. We got what we paid for. Sleeping space for five, a kitchenette and nice sitting room, all for $50 per night less than anything else we could find. Unfortunately, they've let the place deteriorate to where it's hard to imagine it can be made attractive again without a significant renovation. Seems the property would be worth the investment. Lot's of young people (college age?) staying there cheaply. Never a problem for us though as they were quiet and considerate where we were at.

I just returned from a 3-night stay at the Executive Center. Pros: 1. I love the location with close proximity to downtown Honolulu. I was glad to away from all the crowd in Waikiki. 2. Rooms were spacious with small kitchenette, dining table, and separate bedroom. Now comes the bad news: the unit I stayed had roaches in the bathroom and its window rattled each time wind blew. I'm not sure if the windows weren't properly sealed, but I couldn't sleep well with all the howling wind and windows rattling each time. And do I need to elaborate on roaches?! I was told the condotel had full occupancy and could not give me a renovated unit. I'm not sure if renovated unit would solve the roach issue, but if you must stay in the downtown area, I'd definitely insist on newer units.

The rooms were spacious and clean. The room was outdated and could use some updating but was otherwise. The downtown location allowed us to explore some of Honolulu while still allowing us to be near the airport for our flight to Maui the next day. The free breakfast was very basic with bread, few pastries, juice and coffee.

After two nights in a huge hotel complex at the other end of Waikiki, the Otani was a quiet relief for two old child-free WWII babies. No line at the desk and exceptional service from all the staff. Decor, linens in bedroom not as updated as, for instance, the Hilton Hawaiian Village. But comfortable. No coffee pot in room! Free coffee downstairs at 6:30 a.m. The 3rd floor ocean front room aok , apart from loud banging from construction until 5 p.m. the day we moved in, Friday, May 4, 2012. No banging on Saturday, thank goodness. The Hau Tree patio restaurant was very good, as was the bar. LOVE that you can walk from here to Kapiolani (sp?) Park, and wonderful restaurants and shopping.

Helpful staff, beautiful location. Room size good, although not much storage area.

The staff was very pleasant and extremely helpful. Our every request was met in a timely and friendly manner. Went to the lounge locatedin the property and had a wonderful evening. Great place to stay if you have a layover in Honolulu. Merely a short 5 minute ride to the airport.

The hotel restaurant was closed for repairs/revovation (?). I don't konw but I understand that is necessary at any facility over a period of time. What I don't understand is the hotel's refusal to help guests find a replacement resuaurant . I am a diabetic and need to have food on a regular basis. This hotel is located in a light industrial area where restaurants are few and far between. The hotel staff offered no help Since I had no car I was told I would have to walk or call a cab to get to a restaurant with no specific receommendation as to where i should go. I ended up walking. conconsderable

Beautiful location, near enough to the busy area but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Near a breath taking beach and park and close to the Aquarium. The room was amazing, on the 12th floor, corner room with a view of Diamond Head and the ocean. The only drawback was the late check-in. The check-in was confirmed for 1 PM and we were not in our room until after 3 PM. Sitting around in the lobby for 2 hrs. was not a great way to start our stay especially when we had arrived from the cruise ship at 09:30.

Hard to believe how quiet the hotel is and it is so close to all the busyness of Waikiki.

This hotel could use additional shelves installed above the toilet. There isn't enough room for storing toiletries for two people.

Stayed here so we could visit Pearl Harbor in the morning and fly to another island later that day. The shuttle was prompt and the staff was very helpful.

Rich with history. If you need anything just ask. I would stay there again. I would suggest frineds to stay there

The Iliki location is perfect with so many restaurants and shops within a short walking distance and a few steps to the beach. Staff were friendly and more than helpful when a family emergency arose. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. Would love to stay at the Iliki again.

Good value for the money

Advertized as "one bedroom" but only had an inexpensive accoridian folding partition. AC unit blew directly on pullout hide-a-bed and throughout the unit there were notices that said "BIG FINE" if you move ANY furniture or break even a glass. They had a huge inventory of the items listed in the room to be marked off. Over all, this gave it an un-home like feeling. Pool did not look inviting but it was clean. Nice staff ,but off at 5pm so no night time help at all!

Service was very nice and staff as well. Would be nice to have wi fi available with your stay at the hotel. Continental Breakfast would be nice to have at this hotel. Overall stay was good. Would recommend to friends.

This was our sixth trip to waikiki and this hotel was fabulous ! Great location, friendly staff, covered any and all of our needs.

The location was perfect for us- just two blocks from the main beach road. The room had a decent view of an inlet and golf course and a pretty night view of the lights of Honolulu. The downside was the fact that the room was pretty aged and the A/C wasn't that great considering it was a window unit. Overall, it was a great stay and for the price, you can't beat it. Just beware that you are not heading for luxury when you rent this condo.

Problems: 1. Hotel is near Alawai St., even though I was on 19th floor, I still could not stand the noise. It made me difficult to slep. 2. Hotel provided some towels, but of cheapest quality, it felt like rag. You can get decent bath towel at JC Penny or Sears for under $10. I think the management should not scrimp on this. 3. The bedroom and living room are smelt old. A new coat paint or some cheap cabinet would make it acceptable. 4. I had to kill some ants a few times. I would rather take my chance next somewhere else.

Room was very comfortable and specious. The 2 balconies were great. Location was right in the middle of all action.

My husband and I made a last minute trip to Oahu and stayed at the Aqua Wave. This is a great hotel for couples. This is not a hotel you want to have your children stay at. The reason I say that is due to the clubs and noise form the clubs and the "women of the night" that are right outside on the street. These problems are in no way the hotels fault. It's just not what I would want my children to see. The location is great for going to the international market place and getting to the beach. I also liked that I was just a block down from Denny's. The rooms are very nice but the elevators have a mind of their own!!

The hotel is terrific! Staff friendly and seemingly interested that your stay is wht u thot it wud b. The beach is directly across the street and the partial ocean view is all you need unless you wish to pay more for the full view. Will stay there again...no doubt.

the staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is nothing to write home about. The aquarium is fun to watch during feeding. Overall, not a bad deal compared to other hotels.

When we arrived we got there about 1:30pm and the lobby was crowded as a lot of tourists had just came off a cruise ship and it was chaos in the lobby, obviously our room wasn't ready my only complaint is we where told we would be called and it was pretty obvious this wouldn't happen due to the fact staff started dealing with customers who arrived after 3pm, so I had to get in line again and had to complain as quite a few older customers thought their age excused them the need to queue, we got in our room a little after 4pm we got room 1509 and it had a great view of the mountains, overall our checkin experience was not great but not actual staff's fault as their was no way this hotel seemed prepared for such a large influx of guests, also if we hadn't already stayed at hotel we wouldn't have been aware of the free internet or the free coffee as it wasn't mentioned at checkin We used the laundry room in our 10 day stay and it was okay the staff where helpful, we never ate at hotel although breakfast buffet was still $4.95 each and dinner buffet was $13.95, we did get a couple of hot dogs one day they where huge for only $1.50 and the bread was fresh, Edwards Cafe on site opened rarely despite the sign showing their hours, don't really see why the hotel allow a tenant that doesn't enhance the hotel at all, on our arrival they would have done a roaring trade as the lobby was full of people waiting but it remained close, we also used the pool area it is small but clean and nice to relax in, the internet went down once in our 10 days for a few hours so it was pretty reliable,house keeping was good and reliable and also said hello,we attended the Tuesday Reception it was nice and the staff where friendly, wipeout cocktail was plentiful, and the entertainment was nice as well, we did have someone try to get into our room 1 night due to fact they had been given wrong room number by check in staff we did get a call to apologize for this incident, at check out I was disappointed that the girl at the desk never asked if we enjoyed our stay or even hoped we would return, overall we had a great room,a good stay and would return my only complaint be a little more personal with the guests who don't complain

This was really nice hotel for the money, not luxurious, but it was clean, beds were comfortable, clean room. We didn't have any bug problems at all. It was two blocks walking distance from the beach, and close to Kuhio Ave, where there is a lot of restaurants, and stores to check out. I would stay there again.

I was hesitant to book through an on-line service from some of the reveiws I read but glad I did!!This was the BEST condo resort we could have picked..We had the delux ocean veiw unit, it was GREAT and the price was right..When booking try to pick a room on the 18 th floor or above (because of larger buildings may cause obstruction).We had room 1803 and we were really, really happy with it, Some of the funiture is outdated, but so what. It was very,very clean and the staff was wonderful,very accommodating to all our needs.We were within walking distance to shopping, dining and right across the street from the beach. We would like to come back some day..Truly a paradise I would highly reccomend this hotel.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Beach Tower! Quiet and great for families. Great location. Close to restaurants, shopping, beach, trolley stops, and St. Augustine by the Sea Catholic Church. Entire staff was friendly and always helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will definitely stay there again if we ever return to Waikiki.

- Bed, shower, balcony, pool, convenient store, laundry facility. - Very basic and cost of my 1wk there wasnt so bad if that's what you're looking for. I was able to walk to everything I needed/wanted. - Our tv remote didnt work and our A/C didnt cool the entire room. - Parking is $25/day for guests, ouch. - My balcony overlooked the Ala Wai golf course and i was able to tan in the morning since the sun shined directly through my balcony in room 1211 by 730am.

Within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, beach, tours and convenience stores.

I only had problems when I reserved the room on the phone through [...], the agent called the hotel directly and said early check-in is fine but when i went to the hotel they said it hasn't been requested.

The location is superb, right across the street from the $800-a-night Halekulani hotel. We booked the Imperial for that reason, as we attended a wedding held at the Halekulani. We were able to stay close during the week of wedding festivities, while paying about 1/3 of what others who stayed at the Halekulani and Outrigger on the Beach paid. The Imperial is perfectly adequate if you don't intend to spend a lot of time in your room. If you think of it as a three-star hotel, you will be pleasantly surprised. If you think of it as a four-star, you may find some aspects disappointing. The weak points: our room was designed as a semi-condo style with kitchenette, sofa, coffee table and dining table. All that furniture, though, left room for about one open suitcase. The bed was a murphy, along with the sofa bed, which would be an efficient way to go if you wanted to pack four people into the room, but you'd really be tight. Might be good for very young travelers and was quite adequate for us: a couple with a 2 year old. The pool was tiny, though the view is nice. We didn't use the gym, but had to pay a $6 a day "resort fee" regardless. Bell staff were cheerful and helpful. I had trouble logging onto the Internet and they sent someone up to help me within 5 minutes. I'd stay there again, if being in the center of Waikiki at 1/3 the price was my goal.

great location. Pool closed due to renovations but overall good deal

Good hotel but no pool due to renovations. Great location and friendly staff.

The hotel and staff at the Courtyard Marriott Waikiki Beach are incredible! The rooms are spacious and the staff is attentive to your needs. For the price of this hotel in a centrally located area - about a 5-7 minute walk from the famous Waikiki Beach, 4 miles from Diamond Head, 10 miles to Hanuama Bay, and 8 miles from Pearl Harbor and the Aloha Stadium Swapmeet this place can't get any better. The hotel also only offers valet parking but at $29/night (as of April 2012), it was a price well worth it to walk to all the main attractions in Waikiki. For a first time visitor to Oahu, this hotel offers location and affordability. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 7days and found everything satisfying. The service was good, the location is really good, the facility was clean and sufficient and the one bedroom we upgraded to was roomy and the kitchenette proved useful. If you are staying here more than a few days, choose one bedroom and you will not regret it. The cost was minimum. Also make a visit to the relaxation room where they offer free massage chairs and q big screen wii playing experience. Also, if you rent a car and drive more than twice a day choose valet parking. It cost money but it was worth it. Recommended!
