General description:..............................(Back to top)

  • Built in 1984, this tower has 40 floors with 2 "glass" elevators on the back, facing the mountains. All units in this building are small, feature kitchens and have windows but no balconies
    The common areas like the lobby and registration are small, the pool area is not very big but is pleasant, has a jacuzzi and a tennis court. Parking is charged extra and is quite expensive. There are some street parking areas walking distance to this hotel but be advised that spots are hard to find especially after 6 p.m.

  • All units at this hotel have a kitchen,
  • The swimming pool area is nice, inviting and with a fair ammount of sun exposure during the day for sunbathing. The pool is of a fair size and the common area also has a jacuzzi and a tennis court.
  • The building is a high rise and some rooms will have a panoramic view.
  • This Hotel is in very close proximity to the Honolulu Convention Center, which makes it a good choice for travellers attending events there.


What you may not like about this hotel:..............................(Back to top)

  • On the Waikiki map, this hotel appears to be close to the ocean but please be advised that this area is a marina full of boats. The closest beach that you can swim in is in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village about 6 blocks away (about 15 minutes walk)
  • For most people the size of the rooms is too small, it may be adequate for 1 person but for 2 people you may find it too tight, in fact these rooms are so small that 2 is the maximum allowed in these units.
  • Rooms have no balconies and in most cases the only window they have opens no more than a couple of inches. You do have AC, but if you enjoy just to have the windows open, this may be a problem.
  • As the Aqua Waikiki Marina Hotel is at the beginning of Waikiki,the hotel is too far form the center of Waikiki and hotels of the same quality can be found in a more central location, again it is great for being close to the Convention Center, since it is located OUTSIDE Waikiki, but unless you are attending a convention, you may want to look for something more central.
  • There have been many problems reported by clients with the elevators, whether it is because of a design flaw or poor maintenace, these 2 elevators have been out of order more often than expected and some times both of them at the same time.
  • Many people do not want to stay in this area because they consider it the least attractive part of Waikiki.
  • Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at 808–394–2112 for more information.
