I like the classy-ness of the hotel. It feels old school with a respectful classic feel. Everyone is very "aloha" and professional. Hawaiian residents are very family oriented and make you feel at home. I love that. The only down side is that we got a room at first in the historical part of the bldg. and it was a cityview room. do not get ...
This hotel is 1 of the landmarks along Waikiki. The hotel rooms are big and has that oahana feeling. The bad thing about Moana was that theres no free wifi in the rooms =(
Stayed in this hotel over Thanksgiving 2008 - my third time at Moana Surfrider. First couple of times were outstanding! Old world charm with great service and ambiance.
My most recent stay was something I would rather forget. Room was disgustingly dirty and was extremely noisy.. Poor windows. Had to switch rooms twice to get one that is ...

Wow what a place. The building is so beautiful, Victorian like and elegant. Front porch offering large wooden rocking chairs. The back veranda has dining and off to the right a beautiful, comfortable sitting area with big soft chairs and nice tables. Read a book, or just gaze at the ocean,the banyan tree, which is spectacular or nap. Across the ...
Well the service was great. The view from you're room is so beautiful, the only thing that doesn't seem too great is the money. Lot's of money. The people there are nice and kind. And it's great to bring the kids, and to enjoy a swim, and a massage. Great place looking forward to going back.

My husband and I just returned home after celebrating our 34th anniversary by staying at the Moana Surfrider. The Old World charm was magnificent and the service we received was perfect, which gave it "character" not seen anywhere else. Just sitting on the veranda gave us the feeling of "home". Thank you for a memorable vacation! The staff,location and service were superb!!

Love it - can't wait to return!

My husband and I visit Hawaii twice every year and always stay at the Moana Surfrider. As a returning guest they treat us like family. I am always amazed that everyone seems to remember us. The Beach Bar is the best in all of Waikiki - at night you can listen to the lovely music while the ocean breezes cool you off. The hotel is currently being ...

Excellent

I loved it. I did NOT dsislike any part of staying there. I liked our room. I liked breakfast every morning. I liked the veranda's rocking chairs. I do not swim but I liked the activity on the beach. The Banyon Tree was beautiful. I liked the Xmas spirit in the lobby and the collection of l9 Century clothes. I loved the decorations.
My hubby and I went to Hawaii for the very first time in December 2006 for our 8th wedding anniversary which is Christmas Eve. We came to the Moana on the advice of a friend who had vacationed there with his wife. When we first arrived, we were stunned at the beauty of the hotel, the old world charm and the beautiful holiday decorations were ...
