Great option in Waikiki

What a gem! First time staying at the Kaimana- and it will be something we return to! We were worried it was too far from Waikiki to enjoy. Nope- a 15 minute walk - and you are at the start of Waikiki. Peaceful and out of the crazy downtown without being isolated. Gorgeous beach right in front of the hotel- with sand that allows you to go in the water without feed walkers. Plenty of reefs just offshore for fish watching. Service was excellent! Super friendly and helpful staff. We only ate in the restaurant once (it was limited hours) it was difficult for me to find something to eat as I have an onion and garlic allergy. Ended up with eggs bene- but those arrived with chives in top- so kind of a miss for me. We would stay here again and totally would upgrade to an ocean facing king bed room- wow!!

Despite no pool, the beach right in front of the hotel is a jewel : swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, surfing all possible! A boutique hotel feel, we appreciated the extra activities for guests (yoga, lei making, stargazing, etc) wonderful staff too!

Nice hotel. Requested early check in but got late check in. Had to ask everyday for items for room as maid didn’t provide items and didn’t clean room one day. Staff friendly. Hostess very strick on arriving to dinner a few minutes before reservation. Old chair and table in patio. Nice room and location. Beach chair use was nice even if chairs were not great. No food options for 2 hours prior to check in time frame. Stayed in older building so can only speak for that side. No elevator.

I was looking forward to staying here but we decided to cut our trip short and leave two days early. The staff were incredibly unreasonable and unkind. We tried dining in their restaurant as we got in late and there are already very limited options on the island because of the fire. They refused to accommodate anything for vegans. No vegan options and no willingness to cook anything for us. What’s the point of staying on a resort if they refuse to make anything. The chef was rude. The staff were unwilling to help. And it left a very sour taste in our mouths. Would not recommend this place to anyone who has dietary needs. They are not only unwilling to help but inept and unkind about it. I won’t be returning ever again. They also had multiple broken things in our room, didn’t restock soap, or give us bottled water. I wasn’t impressed at all.

Our friends love the Kaimana and we were excited to stay here. The location is great and the lobby restaurant Hau Tree looks good, but our room was small and dark (only has blackout curtains, and the room faces a public park; they should add translucent privacy curtains). Throughout our stay we were let down by hotel / restaurant operations. Three times we tried to dine in the restaurant, and each time either we were told it was not serving food (closed from 1-5p) or we were quoted hour long waits despite many tables being unoccupied. Maybe hotel was short staffed despite it being new years week and slammed.

It's great that this hotel is right on the beach and one that isn't as hectic as Waikiki. We also liked being so close to the aquarium and zoo. What wasn't great? To start with, the only staff that really acknowledged us around the hotel were the valets and the cleaning folks. All the rest never said hello or made eye contact unless we approached them and I mean passing them in a hallway etc. it was odd. The food they served was overpriced (which was expected) and really mediocre. They had limited hours in the restaurant so you'd have to walk to Waikiki if you wanted to eat anything but convenience store food outside those hours. The lobby was nice enough but the hallways, rooms, and elevators were somewhat run down and there was a persistent smell about the place. All in all, we wouldn't stay there again and would just drive to Kaimana Beach if we were in the Waikiki area.
