This trip started way back in May 2009 when we booked early to take advantage of the 20% discount that Aqua advertises as a early bird savings.My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in Hawaii and we wanted to be close to the beach. We booked a room facing the beach and we asked for a room... more

If you want to spend your holiday in a wardrobe then you should choose Aqua Waikiki Beachside Hotel. We paid for a regular room but we get a room with absolutely no window an even the electrical lights are very dim. Our request for a room change was completely ignored. more

The view from the deluxe beachfront rooms is perfect for someone who loves to see the ocean and the breaking surf. Our room was on the top floor and we could see the entire beach. We would go down to the beach to get into the water, surf or for a canoe ride and when we were done we would... more

This hotel is not for everyone especially if they are looking for the hotel experience with restaurant, pool & spa. It suited us fine as we did not... more
