perfect vacation for my wife and me
The staff was excellent, they cleaned the room and put clean towels and bottled water in the room every time we left the room. The RH has its own beach chained off with beach boys to set up your umbrella and towels very convenient, when you see the public beach in front of you packed with people carrying chairs and umbrellas for blocks. The food was excellent especially breakfast. I saved the best for last the staff was wonderful, so sweet and nice it was like visiting your favorite aunt. This was our fourth trip to Hawaii.

The RH food is excellent, but it is pricey, for a change directly across from the RH shopping center are fun bars and restaurants on the second floor, just look up.

Expensive, but good for locale
I've not stayed at the Hilton Kuhio or Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I would say these locales would be of equal quality, especially in the way of service. What The Royal Hawaiian has that the other two don't is a very good "on the beach" location with walking access to the International Marketplace and the main drag. The Royal Hawaii also provides privacy in a busy, busy area, but also comes with a hefty price tag. So, would you pay $1000+/7 days more for that? Additionally, the business center costs extra per use, outside the standard resort fee, and isn't user friendly. Restaurants onsite are extremely overpriced for everything. I'm a fan of The Ritz-Carlton for luxury and unsurpassed customer service; The Royal Hawaiian does not compare, a solid 4 star at best. If you have a choice, book The Ritz on Maui for less, about the same as Hilton Hawaiian Village on Oahu.

Short walk from hotel
Book a tour on the Red Line Trolley for $22pp. You can get on and off all day at different drop-off/pick-up locations and take in the city with shopping and history. Also, for saving, you can book the backstreet Hilton Kuhio and take short walks just about anywhere. I

Wonderful place to stay
This is a hotel that is keeping the standard very high. Every employee works hard to make everything as comfortable for the guest as possible. I never saw one employee that wasn't smiling. Only problem I had was when there was a parade and we were not notified that it would take place. We could'nt get back to our room for several hours. Hotel gave us a generous discount to make up for the inconveinience.

The hotel has a $20 per day fee which includes parking in a nearby garage. You pay this even if you don't have a car or use the valet parking which is an additioinal $15 per day. Unless you are going to the other side of island. Everything you need is within walking distance, or use a cab..

Love, Love, Love this Hotel!!!
Beautiful... perfect beach...walking distance to shopping and restaurants (avoid renting a car... the traffic is awful). We stayed in the old part of the hotel with the garden view. The room was nicely decorated and the beds were awesome. If you want to splurge on your stay in Oahu, this place is worth it.

A Visit to the Royal Hawaiian
This is truly a luxury hotel! Staff and rooms were excellent and HAPPY to help! Our concierge suggested a great magic show and several wonderful restaurants. We made a ritual of watching the sunset at the bar located right on the beach - heavenly! I loved the new decor and the swimming pool area, and the beach is the best on Waikiki! Aloha and mahalo!

We ate at several restaurants that were near the hotel. For two women, we shared dinners and also bar appetizer plates and this really cut our expenses. No one minded! Try the outside bar at the Moana for great music in the evenings!

It was a very nice hotel. Everyone was courteous and friendly. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The hotel is also very beautiful and has a lot of character. It is in a perfect location. Once you get back there in the foliage you can not even tell you are in downtown Honolulu.
