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.

    Awesome Stay at the Twin Fin

    I was pleasantly surprised by the Twin Fin, affordable, fair priced and offered so much. Love the activities such as lei making and Yoga. Room was great, service was great, location was the best as its right across the street from the beach and so many dining and shopping options. The restaurant/bar Tiki's offered great appetizers and drinks. Favorite was the Sunset martini thus book a table on the terrace at sunset. Truly breathtaking. I'm a Honolulu native who lives on the mainland and went there with friends who still live on the island and could have been the great drinks but we were all captivated watching the sunset. If there was something they can improve is the check out process. Maybe offer digital checkouts, TV/Phone Text, Key Drop or other options to check out. The line was a little long since everyone was checking out at the same time. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would not hesitate to stay here again.

    Overall great stay. Great views!

    Overall, it was good. I'd stay here again. Pros: -Views. Ocean, Partial Ocean, Diamond Head. All great. -Balcony! I was on a very high floor, so I was actually afraid to stay out there too long. Plus birds loved to visit. :-) Do not leave door open. -Tiki's Bar & Grill (hotel restaurant) had great food. The miso salmon. My gosh! Can't comment on breakfast but it is available. -Water stations. -On strip, near everything. -You can hear the strip at night but for the most part it is quiet. -Beds are comfy! -Small fridge Cons: -No room service. -Beach Candy Surf & Rentals - this is where you pick up your beach gear with your hotel 'credit'. Need to get rentals back by 17:00. LONG LINE. Unless you have a lot of folks in your party and can carry all of that, I'd recommend skipping that and either lay out on your towel or pay 25 usd for beach chair umbrella rental service across the street. That really was a hassle. *Need credit card because they hold a small deposit that you receive back once you return items. -At times, there were long lines to talk to someone at the check-in desk, but I appreciate them taking time out for each customer. -Parking expensive but available.

    Just OK. 5/2025

    I was unimpressed with the “Twin Fin.” I’m from Colorado and our worst resort hotels are better than the Twin Fin. This is a budget hotel….not one that you are going to stay in for a “Hawaiian Vacation of a lifetime!” Would I come back to Hawaii to stay at the Twin Fin—absolutely not! Keep in mind, it’s close to the ocean which is what most people care about, you’re paying for proximity (across the street). Needless to say, there is no reason for them to update their hotel because they know you’re coming to the ocean. If you’re looking for a really nice hotel for a vacation of a lifetime this is not it.

    Do NOT stay in Twin Fin

    Premium location but way below average stay, def not worth the price you pay. Poor customer service apart from parking attendants downstairs, we did wonder what resort fee was even for? Bed was comfortable but bedding was stained - showed pictures but it never got changed. Booked it online through third party agent and website referred to “breakfast included” - it wasn’t. In all other places we stayed in Hawaii everything was exactly or much better than advertised, evidently the Twin Fin prides itself as an exception. Pretty disappointing overall but hey you only go there to sleep in a stained bed and not get fresh towels daily, so not a big deal with so many things to do in Ohau.
