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.

Parking charge $60 for real????

Everything except the outrages parking charge was good. Be prepared to lay down some of your fun money just to park and then walk with all your stuff.

Good Location, Decent price, but not too clean

We stayed at this Hotel for 5 nights and it was okay. Nothing special. We got a room at the 15th floor and had a decent view to the beach but that was it. One thing I didn't care for at all were the dirty dishes left for days in the hallway right outside the rooms. The carpet in the our room was not clean. I wouldn't stay here again, I would rather check out what other hotels have to offer.

Great beach location

Located in the heat of Waikiki, across the street from the beach and within walking distance of the bus/trolley stop, shopping and restaurants, we were very happy with the location. The standard room was average. It had a balcony and refrigerator. Would have been nice if it had two sinks in the bathroom. We would have had to pay $3 per day to use the safe.

The Hilo Hattie's shuttle is free. It doesn't come as frequently as the others but it will take you from Waikiki to their store (souvenir store) and will drop you off anywhere you want in between.

The hotel is across the beach and very near of Zoo, aquarium and shopping center. We spent a good time here the room only has a coffee maker and small fridge , but would be perfect to have a microwave .

Bare Minimum, No Frills

Bottom line, we got a good deal so we stayed here. Price would be our only enticement to stay here again. Pros: great location Cons: rock hard beds, fickle shower temperature, small pool, no free gym access and friendly but somewhat clueless staff. Not the end of the world, since it served as a place to rinse off and rest up.

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

Start early in the morning on your hike to Diamond Head - from hotel door to door it's a 5mi hike and well worth it, but can get awfully crowded and hot after 9am. Bring a small flashlight and when you get out of the tunnel TURN LEFT!
