This is a great Aqua property. Rooms are good size, clean, and staff is very helpful. Price is very reasonable and worth the value. Many restaurants nearby, shopping within walking distance.I would definately stay here again.

Stayed at the Aqua Palms for 3 days prior to taking a cruise from Hawaii to Australia. Room was huge and clean. Great bathroom as well. Staff very helpful and there was a great restaurant down the block. Breakfast (next door iHop - slow but friendly service) was included. One evening (Thursday perhaps), there was a reception/party in the lobby,... More

We are only spending one night here. We found it by chance and are very happy we did. The room was very nice. It had great bed, great bathroom. They have been modernized and are nice. It has a IHOP in the same building so nice place for breakfast. I would come back.

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were a bit small but clean. The beds were comfortable and we had a fridge and microwave.

Stayed one night. Check in, per-paid for room, was pretty quick. Parking is adjacent and attached for access via elevator is $20.00 per day. About three blocks from Ala Moana Shopping Center. If your looking for typical fare in terms of restaurants, this is OK. If you ate seeking more upscale or Hawaiian cuisine you'll need to travel several blocks.... More

Aloha TravelingNurse12: Mahalo for sharing your experience at the Aqua Palms in December of last year. Unfortunately being in the city does have its downside with traffic and street noise. Hopefully with the tinting of the window that we recently completed will help buffer some of the noise as well as the heat from the direct sunlight. All of the... More

We were in Honolulu the night before our cruise so we wanted something clean and reasonably priced; no frills; and that's what we got. Aqua Palms is in a great location across from the Hilton Hawaiian Village so you can just walk across the street to those shoppes and beach. It's also across from Ft. Derussy Park so it makes...
