Review:
Affectionately known as ‘The Pink Palace,' The Royal Hawaiian is an elegant oasis in the heart of Waikiki. Embracing spellbinding views of Diamond Head Crater and a mere stone’s throw away from the beach, this evocative retreat is paradise found. Innovative design combines with sophisticated glamor to offer guests luxurious oceanfront living in the form of 528 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites.
Tangible sea views float through open-plan living spaces and out onto broad, embracing terraces that seem to flow effortlessly into the sea, and modern amenities abound. First class facilities abound with a stunning swimming pool that appears to float into the ocean, and the exclusive Abhasa Spa, where guests can indulge in a traditional Lomi Lomi massage in luxurious 'suite style' treatment rooms in a beautiful garden setting.
Dining is an unforgettable experience – head to Azure for fine dining and fantastic views or try The Royal Hawaiian Luau – Aha ‘Aina for an unforgettable epicurean journey. If you feel like something more relaxed and laid back, Surf Lanai offers excellent beach bar style fare and the Mai Tai Bar is the best spot for sundowner cocktails or a glass of bubbly.
