As I mentioned in my previous entries, my husband and I visited Oahu, Hawaii, this year. During our trip, we spent two nights at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani and three nights at the Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki. I’m going to share my experience at the Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki today.
Parking
The underground parking lot had a self-parking fee of $35 per night. We received the parking permit at the front desk and placed it on the dashboard.
Location
 |
| We were able to see Ala Wai Canal from the room balcony. |
The Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki is conveniently located near the Ala Wai Canal, which features a popular trail for runners. The hotel is also close to Waikiki Market and Waikiki Beach, making it an ideal spot for tourists.

Lobby
When we checked in at the hotel, we received two shell lei necklaces, which made us feel very welcomed.

Around the lobby, you’ll find several convenient amenities, including vending machines stocked with snacks and drinks, a water dispenser for refreshing hydration, and multiple ice dispensers to keep your beverages cool.
Deluxe Room with Balcony (360 sqft / 33 sqm)
The room was nice and clean, though it felt a bit dated.
The room included a two-seat sofa and a sizable, low table, making it convenient for us to have breakfast and dinner in the room.
Mini Kitchen
The room also included a microwave oven, which was very useful for warming up food. This added convenience made it easy for us to enjoy hot meals and snacks in the comfort of our room.
The room provided two packs of Hawaiian Paradise coffee, which tasted quite good. Since room cleaning is only done every three days, you can request additional coffee if you need more. This ensures you can enjoy your favorite coffee throughout your stay.
We appreciated having a sink, detergent, and a brand new cleaning sponge in the room for doing dishes.
There was a mini fridge in the room, which was very convenient for storing snacks, drinks, and leftovers. This added feature made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable.
Bathroom
The bathroom was small and a bit outdated. There were Hawaiian Tropic soap bars and body lotion next to the sink.

The shower room was quite small and showed its age, with no bathtub available.
I found the fixed showerhead inconvenient, as I prefer the flexibility and ease of use of handheld ones.

There were two full-size bottles of Hawaiian Tropic shampoo and one bottle of conditioner provided in the room. However, the conditioner was nearly empty, which was a bit disappointing as I was looking forward to using it. On the bright side, I enjoyed the Hawaiian Tropic shampoo with its delightful coconut fragrance.
Balcony
The balcony had two chairs. I enjoyed the pleasant Hawaiian breeze.
However, when I glanced down from the balcony, the view was somewhat intimidating, despite the fact that I don’t usually have a fear of heights.
Overall
Overall, I really appreciated that this room included a mini kitchen, which allowed us to enjoy meals in the comfort of our room. We could prepare breakfast and snacks whenever we wanted, adding a touch of home to our stay. The convenience of having a microwave, sink, and small refrigerator made it easy to store and reheat leftovers from our favorite local spots. The location was also fantastic, being conveniently close to many charming cafes and vibrant shopping areas.
