Coconut Waikiki Hotel

The location was great. Everything was just a quick walk away. If you want to pay more, you can have a room with a nice view of the mountains. It's not the Sheraton or Hyatt Regency, but those properties are much more expensive. For the price, this is a great value for a single guy traveling alone.

The staff was very friendly; the room was clean, and I enjoyed the mountain and Lagoon view.

The location was very good. Personal very friendly. Fresh water all day for you 🫰🏼

As someone who has visited Hawaii multiple times, I’ve had the chance to experience various hotels in the Waikiki area. It's important to keep in mind that Waikiki is a vibrant city bustling with tourists, which naturally comes with some noise from police and ambulance sirens. While I understand that some guests may find this bothersome, I don’t think it’s a fair reason to rate a hotel poorly. I encourage potential visitors to consider this context when deciding on their stay. Regarding the amenities, the establishment offers a washer and dryer at a rate of $2.50 per load, with cash needed for payment, though they provide coin change for convenience. The valet parking service is priced at 40USD plus taxes per night, which I found quite advantageous considering the high costs of self-parking options in Waikiki. Additionally, guests can borrow beach towels and benefit from various discounts in collaboration with a local museum and a yoga class. Complimentary purified water is available, so it’s a good idea to bring along your Hydroflask. Coffee, tea, and hurricane popcorn are also provided for guests to enjoy. Regarding the room: Waikiki is known for its compact size, and many hotel accommodations reflect that. However, I found that COCONUT effectively utilizes the space in their rooms. They provide a microwave, a small fridge, cups, and even a couple of dishes for convenience. Additionally, guests can benefit from an iron and ironing board, extra pillows, and a modest amenity kit in the bathroom, which includes shampoo and conditioner. I had a minor concern regarding the bathroom floor, which felt quite slippery. To enhance safety, I placed a towel down for convenience. I apologize for not mentioning this to the reception during my stay. The views from my room were quite lovely, as I was able to enjoy the canal and the mountains.

When you consider Hawaii, you think natural paradise. This hotel is in the heart of Waikiki and the beaches you're near aren't the best because they're crowded from other hotels, there's rocks in the sand as you wade into the ocean, and you're surrounded by buildings. That said, if you use this hotel as a base to get out of the city, it's perfect. They offer all kinds of beach supplies like towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards as part of your resort fee. They also give you a free ticket to the Bishop Museum, a very generous gift, and the museum is amazing. Highly recommend. The Coconut staff are friendly, efficient, and make your stay pleasant. I didn't have any questions they couldn't answer, and it felt nice to see familiar faces often. Parking is high, and there's really no parking outside of the hotel, so factor that in if you're thinking of renting a car. It's similar to other properties, though, so you're stuck with this extra fee regardless. My room was very quiet and the elevator worked really well. There was a stain on the carpet, but it was a large comfortable room, and I enjoyed staying there. You might need to tell housekeeping to clean out certain things, but overall, they do a good job. I really appreciated having a fridge and microwave because food is extremely expensive to dine out. I brought granola and bought milk, which saved me when I didn't feel like spending a ton on breakfast or going out right away as there is no restaurant in the hotel. Lastly, they have a water station where you can refill your water bottle, and I really liked that perk. It tasted really good, was cool and refreshing after a day out in the sun. This is a very pleasant budget hotel and apparently has been around since the 70's as my friend also stayed her with her children when she traveled here before.
