Apr 14, 2025Afternoon Tea
We had the afternoon TEA on the Veranda. The wait staff were great, the food was very tasty and the bubbly beverage went well with the food. As a bonus we were able to see Monarch Butterflies in a screened in tent while there. It was a great tea (we've had English Tea in London) and we plan on going again this year as well on our 40th Anniversary to the Veranda.

Best hotel in Waikiki
Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. The staff are welcoming, helpful, friendly. Loved being on the beach. Food and drinks were wonderful. Loved the live music. Beds comfortable. Appreciate all the amenities from beach towels provided to bottled water in room and taxis available in front. Researched all the hotels in Waikiki and glad we picked Moana Surfrider.

Mahalo to the Moana Surfrider
This is a beautiful historic hotel with friendly and helpful staff in a great location. Lots of activities during the day and fun music at night. Dining under the Banyan Tree looking out at the sea was amazing. The wooden rocking chairs were so relaxing and enough where we didn't need to wait long for them. Loved being in the heart of Waikiki!

Wonderful hotel, with friendly and helpful service from the entire team!
We absolutely loved our 5 nigh stay at this wonderful property, highly recommend that you stay at this resort which has direct beach access to the water! The customer service that received from everyone was fantastic, special thanks to Kaia, Stevie and Cris who worked as pool attendants, they were very friendly and helpful with our beach umbrella and pool cabana rentals. The lobby, building and grounds are well maintained and breathtaking. Great hotel location, close to the heart of Honolulu, so it was short walk to all restaurants and shopping areas. We look forward to returning soon!!

Enjoyable experience
We had planned to stay here back in March 2020. Literally were due to arrive the day everything started shutting down. Decided to give it another try. We stayed in the original building and so glad we did. It didn't have that cookie cutter resort feel to it. Loved the history behind it. Our room, though on the smaller side as to be expected, was actually perfect for the 2 of us. We've stayed in many hotels with large dining areas, sofas etc. but didn't have a need for that. Very comfortable king sized bed, pillows were great. Bathroom, again small, but functional. There was a hanging closet and 2 bedside dressers. Not a large one which was fine for us. Fridge that actually worked, Keurig and regular coffee maker. We went across the street to Target and bought Lion coffee pods. The provided Aquafina bottles for free. We had a banyan/ocean view so it was beautiful. Our room looked over the banyan courtyard which could be considered "noisy" but it was from the restaurant that included nightly entertainment. Each night was different and it did promptly stop at 10:00 on the weeknights. I can't remember the weekend hours. If there wasn't any of that noise then all you heard were the waves of the ocean. Front desk was eh. My husband had called ahead to see if they did anything special since it was our 30th anniversary. All the person said was check the website which didn't really have any info. When we physically checked in, they didn't seem too interested either. BUT the true aloha came from the everyone else we encountered. The housekeeping was SUPER friendly and welcoming. Every single one. We ate at all the different dining options including the poolside snack bar, multiple times. They were ALL so nice! The food was actually amazing too. Yes, pricey but a. you are at a hotel and b. you are at a hotel in Hawaii. Did a few yoga classes too. The only downside was that it was a bit hard to hear because of the waves which were literally a few feet away. All in all, it was super enjoyable. So happy we were able to make it.
