Beautiful hotel, enthusiastic and helpful staff, great location. The rooms are beautiful and the whole place is spotless, views good and the location on Waikiki Beach is perfect. This is a busy area of town so if you want something very quiet, head elsewhere. Otherwise, not a single complaint. Feels like home from the moment you walk in, albeit with a friendly concierge and right on the beach. Would stay again.

My family enjoys their high tea. We've experienced them in Europe, Asia, North America and now Hawaii. The Veranda at the Moana Surfrider offers an outstanding afternoon tea. Local flavours with traditional favourites are beautifully presented on a three tiered plate. Everything was very fresh and obviously prepared with skill. The service was the attentive but non intrusive. We never felt rushed. Sitting on the open veranda under the banyon tree while watching the scene on Waikai beach was delightful. Highly recommend.
