My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Hawaii. We had wanted to stay somewhere clean and reasonably priced and after reading and sorting through many, many reviews we chose the Wave. I must say that this hotel was a good choice for us - our stay was very pleasant! Our room was on the 12th floor... more

Considering all I've heard about Hawaii and its rundown hotels, I really enjoyed being inside AWW. The front desk was friendly and helpful. We talked to the concierge once, upon arrival, and she wasn't that helpful. I'll just give her the benefit of the doubt. Overall the hotel is nice inside and the location is superb. Right next to the... more

We stayed at the Aqua Waikiki Wave the second week of May. We had a room on the 8th floor. Overall we had a great stay. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel did provide ear plugs and we brought our own after reading the reviews. My husband did sleep with them,... more

My family and I stayed at the Waikiki Wave this past Memorial Day weekend for a total of 6 nights. The issues already started when we booked through Hotwire. When reading the reviews online & found out that there were noise issues, we immediately called the hotel and asked for an upgrade to a higher floor and Chris the Aqua... more

Just returned today from a 1 week stay with my Mother and Sister to visit family on the island. The biggest reason we chose this hotel was the fact that it had large rooms available with 3 queen beds and had extremely reasonable rates (we got an awesome deal through expedia and paid around $920 per person which included fight,... more

This was a wonderfully comfortable and well located hotel. I needed to fill one night in Waikiki before our timeshare condo was available and the Wave was right down the street from our timeshare. At first it does not look like much but once you get in your room it feels very luxurious for the price. The bedding is wonderful.... more

The staff of the Aqua Waikiki Wave are all like "Ohana" (family) and they treat everyone who stays at this beautiful hotel like Ohana ... from the moment we checked in, we felt welcomed. George at the front desk was our 1st person contact, he is very pleasant, welcoming and informative. George was "right on" with his suggestions for restaurants... more

The Aqua Wave was great. Our family stayed there for two weeks in a Deluxe Suite (3 Queen beds). The room was very spacious. It was well decorated and very clean. The beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding. Location is about a block and a half to the main beach area -- a bit of a walk with... more

Aloha JB, I really appreciate your review. It is complimentary, informative and yet fair regarding some areas of the hotel. Being conveniently located steps away from the International Marketplace has its challenge but such a convenience for our guests! Thank you for also sharing with the readers that there is a coin laundry in easy walking distance, our rooms are...

My friend and I stayed at the AWW from May 1-9 and had a great experience. We booked this hotel based on the reviews on his site and we were not disappointed! This is a great place to stay. Fantastic location close to everything - beach was a 5 minute walk, public transport right at the door and plenty of... more
