Faye - Halekulani Oahu Reviews

Aloha All,
This last weekend we had the privilege to spend three nights at the Beautiful Halekulani Resort in Waikiki. It now shines out as being our all time favorite 5 star resort and we spent a very relaxing time there - feeling thoroughly spoiled. The weather was perfect which we were very grateful for as we expected rain. Upon arrival we were treated to a very gracious in room check in and from that point could only marvel at the warmth and sincerity of every staff member we encountered. The service was prompt, efficient and friendly. The Resort is expensive however you absolutely get what you pay for - pure luxury. Our room was an Ocean view on the 15th floor and we had amazing views of Diamond Head and the Ocean.

Halekulani is conveniently located right in the heart of Waikiki so close to Beach Walk - although once inside the resort we did not have city noise at all and we felt like we were in an oasis with palm trees and fantastic views. The rooms were decorated in cool whites and blues with a fabulous bathroom including a spa tub. We were content to watch the surfers and sail boats from our room, venturing out to walk along Waikiki Beach and sample the amazing food at the Orchid Restaurant offering the "Best Sunday Brunch in Waikiki" . Not to mention cocktails at The House Without a Key where you can enjoy watching the Hula dancing accompanied by a low key Hawaiian band. Oceanfront under a 110 year old Kiawe tree.

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to tour the Elegant Orchid and Royal Suites which must have the very best view in Hawaii and so close to the ocean. There was a wedding party staying in the Vera Wang Suite, with the couple being married right on the balcony.
It was truly an incredible experience and has lifted months of stress from us both in three
relaxing pampered days - I can only begin to imagine how we would feel after an entire week!
Mahalo & Aloha,
Faye
