The royal Hawaiian is beautiful. It's the 2nd oldest hotel and have a luxurious and classy feel, but when we visited the Moana Surfrider I liked it more. It has a lively vibe and facilities seem better. The pool is bigger than the Royal which has a very tiny pool. But the advantage is that you can use the Sheraton's 2 big pools instead. Big shout out for the staff though. They are very courteous and friendly and accommodated our request for early check out without a fee.
