5-Star Hotels in Honolulu

The room was spacious, and the sofa bed could sleep two people. The hotel was beautiful, with water slides, rafting, snorkeling, and more; I recommend setting aside a day to enjoy the hotel. The dining options were also more plentiful than the Marriott next door.

Hygiene: Excellent. The entire place was very clean and tidy, with no trash or dust, and no unpleasant smells – everywhere smelled fresh. The gym was also clean. The only minor issue was the pool, which could get a bit noisy and messy due to the crowd. Ambiance: Fantastic. The rooms themselves were impeccable, all over 50 square meters, with mostly identical layouts, just differing in their specific location. They had everything you could ask for: a bathtub, shower, two sinks, two wardrobes, a dressing table, and a balcony with a view. A special mention for the bathtub – it filled up incredibly fast, less than five minutes, which is the quickest I've ever seen. The decor was very sophisticated, with high-quality materials that gave it a timeless feel, yet it was maintained beautifully, which was very impressive. Service: Excellent. The doormen were highly efficient at opening car doors and handling luggage. The check-in experience at the front desk was great; the staff's attitude was impeccable, they were very professional, didn't strictly adhere to every rule, and were very generous and welcoming. If a room was available, they arranged immediate check-in. Any requests were handled with high efficiency; for example, beach chairs were brought and set up quickly, and anything needed was brought to the room promptly. They even helped close the curtains, making us feel truly at home. Facilities: Outstanding. The decor is very distinctive and rich in character. It has all the amenities expected of a five-star hotel. As one of Hawaii's top three luxury hotel resorts, it boasts a quiet private beach and a golf course, plus its own dolphin lagoon where you can experience close interaction with dolphins. There are four restaurants, a well-equipped gym with fruit and lemon-coconut water, and well-appointed restrooms. There are also many century-old decorations and various shops, all selling co-branded hotel merchandise, which is quite rare and unique. Overall, this hotel is absolutely worth a special trip. All aspects were flawless. What truly stands out is its century-old heritage and expansive space, yet it shows no signs of age and is meticulously maintained. I personally love this feeling of historical charm. Highly recommended.

일단 풍경은 너무 완벽합니다. 호텔 앞에 해변도 좋고, 수영장에서 보이는 풍경도 너무 아름다워요. 아마 기존에 오래된 리조트를 리츠칼튼에서 인수해서 그런거겠지만 아쉬운 점도 많이 보였습니다. 1. 청결도 - 객실 수건 안에서 잔디, 머리카락이 나와서 이용하기가 어려워서 수영장 수건이 오히려 깨끗하다고 느껴졌습니다. 2. 화장실 - 샤워실이 너무 좁고 변기랑 붙어있어서 오갈때 매우 불편합니다. 아마 리모델링 했어도 오래된 객실 특징이지 않을까 싶어요. 3. 직원들 친절도 - 다른 도시 리츠칼튼을 여러곳 가봤는데, 여기처럼 친절하지 않은 곳은 처음이에요. 아마 아시안이라서 그런것일수도 있지만, 체크인할때 시설 설명을 잘해주지도 않고, 체크아웃 시 영수증도 요청하기 전엔 내역 확인도 안시켜줍니다. Beach House 레스토랑에서는 Walk-In Welcome 이라고 하면서도 자리가 없다고 합니다. 정말 없었을수도 있지만, 예약시간 맞춰서 와서도 구석 자리로 안내받았습니다.(디너 시간이 끝나가는 시간이었음에도 예약석이라며 다른 테이블은 없다고 함) 자연광경과 로비는 좋았지만, 가격이나 리츠칼튼 브랜드에 기대하는 바를 생각하면 직원들의 태도와 청결도는 아쉽네요.

Except that the price is a bit expensive, everything else is satisfactory! Since it is a timeshare vacation club hotel, the suites basically come with a kitchen and all Western cooking utensils, everything you need! There is also a washing machine and dryer. The seaside environment is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and the scenery is everywhere. The hotel faces its own lagoon (lagoon), which is very comfortable for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling (the sea water is a bit cold now, so you need a little courage when you first go into the sea! It will be fine in a while!). The three outdoor swimming pools are suitable for children to the elderly to play and swim, and are equipped with hot water massage pools and saunas (dry steam, wet steam). In short, this hotel is very suitable for couples, couples, second and third generations to travel together! In addition, there is a difference between sea view rooms and mountain view rooms, but they can also be balanced by spending more time outdoors. It is recommended that friends who have been to Waikiki Beach in Honolulu give this place a try, you will definitely have a different feeling!
