Hotel overview

Surfing was cultivated in our backyard and the lifestyle it embodies is central to who we are. Waikiki is famous for its beautiful beaches and we’re steps away from them. But you’ll be just as drawn to the timeless charm and laid-back vibe as the The Twin Fin Hotel welcomes you here.

We’re a retreat. A place to relax and take in the beauty of Waikiki’s iconic sights and rolling swells, from sunrise to sunset. We’re a gathering place to connect with others and share memorable, meaningful moments. We’re a hub for discovering local music, art, and a lasting connection with our island community. And with stunning, front-row views of Waikiki Beach, we’re a place to reflect on the events of the day. And plan the adventures that lie ahead.

    Highly recommended!!!

    The accommodations at The Twin Fin were perfect. We enjoyed our room and our spectacular view was breathtaking! The breakfast was fantastic and allowed us to try some local fare. Our reservation also included free chair and body board rentals from Beach Candy which was really convenient. Ukulele lessons by the pool were fun. I also participated in the free beach yoga class with Zen Fitness —-Julia was awesome!

    The youth experience 1/5 stars

    God I haven’t been treated this bad ever. I understand as a young looking traveler I get looked down on but just because there is a grad night going on for HIGHSCHOOL doesn’t mean every person who looks like they are 20 are in the same group. I’m 25 going on vacation with my girlfriend for her birthday. The room had features such as a chromecast that reset after ever 5 minutes making it a pain in the neck to use. Toilet was so close to the damn ground that even though I don’t think I have the biggest package ever my privates we’re consistently touching the water every time I was using it to go to the restroom. Call guest service from the phone about 3 times they never picked up and after day 3 phone legit just didn’t work anymore. Got the floor with all the grad night people and the doors are paper with hooligans running up and down the halls. Asked for room service at the reception and instead of being treated as a guest in this hotel I got scoffed at for not remembering the group I was in. IM NOT IN THE DAMN GROUP AS THE GRAD NIGHT PEOPLE. If I get treated this bad for just being younger looking so much that I get treated by the staff as 2nd class citizen for paying out my pockets for a room with my girlfriend I. Get a room that’s damn everything wasn’t working at all. Ask for toilet paper because we didn’t even get a housekeeping till day 4… I’ve had 3 star hotels come up and clean my room when I call. I CANT EVEN USE THE PHONE TO CALL GUEST SERVICE OR HOUSEKEEPING BECAUSE ITS BROKEN TOO. Moral of the story if you look anywhere sub 20 don’t go here they treat you like an idiot and no better than motels I’ve been to. Wanted a good hotel and experience for my girlfriend but the treatment at the receptionist for being young looking was rude and unprofessional I’m 25 I paid I deserve fair treatment or at least a damn semi working room especially when I’m coming down every day talking about the issues in the damn room

    Twin Fin Hotel false smoking charge

    On May 16 2025, upon checking out from Twin Fin hotel we were charged with a $500 smoking fee, even though we do not smoke at all. While we were arguing about it, the fron desk called the cop and we almost missed our flight. Since then we complained this to the hotel and relevant authorities. The fee has been refunded. From online searching, I know this happened to many people in the past, and I am demending the hotel to change their current practice and review / refund people who were falsely charged for smoking fees in the past. If you are one of these people, it is not too late to get your money back.

    Great Location & Awesome Staff!

    This was our second time staying at Twin Fin. Great location. Our room was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was every other day which worked fine for us....we just requested enough coffee to last us for 2 days and we never had to ask a second time for coffee! Valet parking staff was awesome! We stayed in a partial ocean view room and the view was amazing! Cleanliness, quiet room and friendly staff are the most important things to us and Twin Fin checked all of these boxes! Only issue was that we had to change rooms 2 nights before our departure due to scheduled maintenance on our room which we didn't find out about until 5pm the day we had to move which disrupted our evening schedule. However, they offered us a junior suite on a lower floor which was a wonderful room but we chose to move an ocean view room that was higher up than the junior suite. The staff did everything they could to make sure that we were happy with the new room! We will be returning to Twin Fin on our next trip to Oahu later this year!

    If you want to surf in Hawaii stay here!

    In my life experience I know you get what you pay for so I wasn’t expecting over the top quality, I wasn’t spending 2k a night so I had an idea of what to expect. That being said these guys gave me service that rivals the top tiers. I’ll be staying with them. The room was clean enough to sleep in and it’s Waikīkī, like come on you should be surfing anyway, not in the room. They didn’t pay me for this, but legit best hotel experience I’ve had in a while. If you came to Hawaii for a surf experience go stay there.
