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

• The Aloha surf building was erected in 1968, it has 16 floors and a little over 200 units. The lobby and front desk are of adequate size for the hotel category . It features a very small pool and a small pool area.
  This hotel underwent a major renovation in 2006 to sell the units to individual owners but after it's opening it had to undergo major repairs in the basement and garage area that kept it in an under renovation status for several months in 2007.
  Like all Aqua Hotels, the Aqua Aloha Surf hotel is a gay friendly facility that welcomes gay men, lesbian, bisexual, trans gender and straight.
  Parking is available but limited.

What we like about this hotel:............................(Back to top)

• Like all hotels in the red and blue areas, the central location is a plus.
• Even though the renovation was in 2006, you can still enjoy rooms with a nice decoration.
• All rooms have internet access, a small refrigerator and a small microwave oven.
• There is part of the parking in an open yard next to the hotel in case you drive a vehicle that can not fit in the garage since the clearance there is only 6' 3".

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

• This hotel has a mandatory extra daily "Hospitality fee", that is not included in your room total until you check out. These fees, also known as "resort fees" or "amenities fees", are being charged in several area hotels and range from $10 to $40 extra per day.
• The rooms are very small, it was OK when the hotel was a 1 star category because one stars in Hawaii are not expected to have big rooms, but since after the renovation the star rating was elevated to 2, many people find the rooms a little too small.
• The Standard rooms are the smallest of them and to make things worse, they have no balcony, they are on the 2nd and 3rd floors so you may want to stay away from those, book at least a superior room.
• Parking can be a problem, not only because it is expensive but also because it is very limited and on a first come, first serve basis, this means that you can not reserve a parking stall with your room booking and it can very well happen that you have no place to park at the hotel. If you are going to rent a car, wait until you check in and found out that there is a stall available for you.
• 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.
