Best location in Waikiki Beach (you can walk right into the beach). The Royal Hawaiian provides a very luxurious experience in a beautiful historic building surrounded by all the entertainment you can imagine in Waikiki. The staff was beyond helpful and friendly; they truly cared about us and making sure that we were satisfied with our stay. Other perks are that the Mai Tai Bar has pretty good food, and you can use the shared pool and hot tub at the Sheraton next door.
