A local favorite in the heart of Waikiki across from the beach

Comfort meets convenience at Pacific Beach Hotel, one of Waikiki's favorite, locally-owned hotels. Find yourself in the heart of the action on famed Kalakaua Avenue and across the street from the best swimming and sunning stretch of Waikiki Beach. More than 800 rooms offer island-style relaxation and remarkable ocean views. The Pacific Beach Hotel is one of only a few Waikiki hotels with a tennis court and the three-story, 280,000-gallon indoor aquarium is a trademark attraction.

Highlights
  • SNUBA dive with more than 70 sea creatures in the hotel's 280,000-gallon aquarium
  • Tennis courts with tennis pro on staff
  • newly renovated 24 -Hour Fitness location onsite

 

Location

The Pacific Beach Hotel sits across the street from Waikiki Beach's best stretch of sand and swimming and right on Waikiki's most happening shopping and dining strip. The Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium and 200-acre Kapiolani Park are about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the hotel.

Dining

Even locals line up at Oceanarium, the hotel's signature restaurant. Surrounding a 280,000-gallon saltwater aquarium, the restaurant attracts visitors as much for the views as the extravagant island-style brunch, dinner and weekend buffets.

Rooms

Choose a room in the 17-story Beach Tower or 38-story Oceanarium Tower. Each air-conditioned, island-themed room includes a private balcony, 37-inch HDTV, high-speed Internet access (fees apply), refrigerator, coffee maker, clock radio, hair dryer, voice message and data port telephone.

Loved it

This is a great starting point for all the island's attractions. You can anywhere on the island from here in 45 minutes or less. It's on a busy hotel strip, so expect the street noise - some people like that - and great street performers. It's right across the beach, but we preferred visiting the other quieter beaches. The staff was really great there - and we got an upgraded beach view room due to the availability. The restaurant's food was supreme. I would recommend Pacific Beach Hotel - it's probably an 8 or 9 on a 10 pt scale, but a definite value.

Location, Location, Location

Our first time staying on Waikiki. Will go back in a minute and stay at this great hotel. Value was wonderful, location fantastic. Out the front door, crossed the street and was on the sand. Dukes for breakfast, Cheesecake Factory for lunch and Bubba Gumps for dinner. It doesn't get any better than that. Room was clean, even had new toothbrushes and toothpaste waiting for us at check-in in our room. New flat panel TV, newer carpet. Was really hard to keep the balcony sliding door open when we were there because of the pigeons. Bold little guys just strut into your room looking for food. Couldn't keep the door open at night because of the street noise drifting up 27 stories. All in all, the best weeklong vacation we've ever had.

Short walk to many, many eating places. Explore and you'll find them all within a few minutes. Be prepared to spend a fortune to eat anywhere.

Great location

Our experience at Pacific Beach was great. We had a great view from our room. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. Enjoyed the convenient location to the beach and many shops. The hotel was within walking distance of the zoo, aquarium, and many shops. The pool was small but the area around the pool was very relaxing place. Did not use the fitness center so I can not comment on it.

Good value for money and great location

Great location (if you like Waikiki - which we did not), very efficient check in and out, unfortunately one restaurant only open on weekends, other "oceanarium" restaurant food was good but breakfast needs big improvement. But really nothing to complain about. Would stay again for stop over only -as we did not like the rumble of Waikiki

Budget Hawaii

It is in a great location, right by the beach. Maybe it was the person we ended up having to check-in with but she was rather unaccomodating at first with our room specifications. Other than that, the staff was very nice and friendly. The cafe of the hotel was convenient but the offerings were low on selection and quality.

Take the bus to AlaMoana Shopping Center. The bus stop is half a block away and the local flavor is worth it .
