I loved my stay at Waikiki Malia! The hotel is beautiful, clean and updated. The staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. I got free water and a bag! Their water machine is TOP NOTCH! Not the old smelly ones other hotels have! The AC works great, the pool area is well kept, the location is so convenient! Everything is within walking distance. The island tour and snorkeling bus picked us up about a block away in front of the shopping center. So much local and small business eats to enjoy. Many restaurants, food stands, food trucks, ABC stores, etc.
Overall, the best stay I’ve had in Hawaii. The city view was beautiful! I usually have a beach view, but I noticed the city placement is much more quiet all day and night! Random, but I loved the lotion they provided! I have very sensitive skin and I think it has real lavender and nice ingredients. Whenever I used it, my skin rashes cleared up. I left with no sunburn for the 1st time, and I was barely wearing any clothes. Didn’t even use my aloe vera. I got scraped up snorkeling and falling outside running in my slippers on the wet floor (my fault, San Franciscans speed walk everywhere for no reason) and the lotion worked like a charm. No scars. I used the whole bottle.
Tip: the hotel does not have type-c outlets. Bring your charger with the usb on 1 side, &/or the outlet base. I forgot my base at home and it’s my 1st time having a double sided type-c charger. I went to Ross 1-2 blocks away though and it was only $4.99.
