My experience at the hotel had its highs and lows. The beautiful historic building and decent room sizes were appealing, but the poor service and lack of essential amenities really detracted from the stay. Sadly, the dining options were underwhelming, and I felt the overall value for money was lacking, especially considering the resort fee that seemed unjustified given the circumstances.

Staying at the Royal Hawaiian Resort was a dream come true! The hotel's historic charm and beautiful surroundings made our experience special. While the staff was generally friendly and eager to help, we did encounter some service issues, particularly during breakfast times.

I'm truly torn about my stay at the Royal Hawaiian. On one hand, the historic charm and unbeatable location by Waikiki Beach are hard to overlook. However, the state of my room left much to be desired, with some signs of wear and tear that weren't expected for a luxury hotel. The service staff were generally friendly, but I encountered some hurdles, especially around the pool area where securing a chair was quite the task. Overall, it's a mixed bag; while the ambiance is wonderful, improvements are needed for the rooms and dining aspects.

The ambiance and decor at the hotel give off a nostalgic yet modern vibe that I loved. My room was spacious and well-appointed, ensuring a comfortable stay. The only downside was that the pool area felt a bit small at times. Overall, this hotel is a gem that I'd gladly visit again!

My stay at the Royal Hawaiian was memorable, with stunning views and a charming historic nature that added a unique touch to my experience. The rooms were spacious and quiet, and the atmosphere felt like a luxurious island getaway. However, I found the beach chair fees to be excessive given the daily resort charges, and the pool staff seemed a bit short-handed at times. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice if you appreciate a historical setting in the heart of Waikiki!
