If you're on a tight budget with some class, I would recommend to stay at the STUDIO hotel rooms at the Sand Villa Hotel. Hotels with kitchens can be a problem anyways so I usually don't pick that criteria especially if I'm going to be out and about all day. Service was great and the people were very nice. I... more

After a week's stay my family and I were watching TV one evening when suddenly a rat ran across the kitchen floor. The family screamed and scurried up onto they beds while I contacted the desk. They were polite but unsurprised and moved us to another room. No hotel staff so much as came up to help us move or... more

waikiki sand villa has an easy to navigate website and a responsive email help desk which was part of the reason i booked a room there. the price was attractive too. the hotel pool was the scene of many late afternoon naps, and not just by me. other guests had cottoned on to this excellent activity. the pool was cold,... more

We have just returned from 14 days in Honolulu, staying at the Sand Villas. We cannot fault this hotel, the rooms are clean, the staff friendly. The breakfast is enough to start the day, you can always add fruit/yoghurt if need be. We will stay again when we return for another holiday. Thank you Sand Villas for making our holiday... more

I had room 1207 which was a standard room on the 12th... more

I stayed at this hotel for a week with my fiancee in July of 2005 and it was ok. I know it has been a while but I am on here now looking at our honeymoon destination, The El Dorado Royale, for October and I thought I would write up my review. Let me start with the good things. The... more

I just came home from a 10-day stay at the Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel, which was also my first trip to Hawaii. I was looking for a place that was decent, clean, and close to everything, but wasn't going to ruin my budget since I didn't plan to be in the room much anyway--and I was pleased that it more... more

Hello all, I stayed at Waikiki Sand Villa in June 2005 and June 2006. The first time I stayed here in June 2005, I was pushed out of the Waikiki Gateway due to overbooking. So they gave me a corner view and a beautiful room at the Sand Villa. No regrets here because the room was clean. I loved the... more

Despite the previous 2 reviews, I thought this hotel was perfect, from the location to the amneties to the price. I would recomment staying in the main part of the hotel, and not the part with kitchenettes more
