Outstanding Stay – 6 Nights / 7 Days of Pure Enjoyment We recently enjoyed an exceptional 6-night, 7-day stay at this wonderful hotel, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Ambrose and Frank from the front-of-house team were absolutely amazing. They truly went above and beyond, even remembering our names, which made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Rick was also extremely helpful and contributed to the seamless experience throughout our stay. The ocean-view room was simply out of this world, offering breathtaking Waikiki Beach views, unforgettable New Year’s fireworks, and a stunning private beachfront location. The room itself was superb, with tasteful décor and a very comfortable atmosphere. Breakfast was more than adequate, and the Voyager 47 supper and drinks were thoroughly enjoyable. The views from Level 3 were outstanding and added something truly special to the dining experience. Every aspect of the hotel impressed us — from the helpful concierge, stores, and bell area staff to the overall attention to detail. Our experience was outstanding, and we would highly recommend this hotel and its in-house restaurants to anyone visiting Waikiki. Mahalo x100 to the entire team. Ambrose and Frank, you are true assets to this hotel and a big reason we will return. Best wishes to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable. Gianni & Anna Garofalo

Asked along the way.
Can we get married directly on the beach?+
Yes. The resort offers beachfront ceremony spaces with ocean backdrops. Beach ceremonies require permits through the City & County of Honolulu; the resort's wedding team manages the coordination.
What's the latest we can have an outdoor reception?+
Sunset receptions typically conclude by 9 PM due to beach park regulations. Indoor venues allow later events with no time restrictions.
Are there vegetarian and dietary accommodation options?+
Yes. The resort's culinary team works with all dietary needs including vegan, gluten-free, and cultural preferences. Discuss specifics during catering consultations.
Do guests need a car to get around?+
No. The resort sits in central Waikiki within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and attractions. Rideshare services operate throughout the neighborhood.
What time of year is best for a beach wedding here?+
April through October offers calmer ocean conditions and lower rainfall. November through March has heavier surf and occasional rain, though these seasons are less crowded and may offer better rates.
