Highly recommend the Royal Hawaiian.

Vacationing in Hawaii was a treat, but what made the icing on the cake was staying at The Royal Hawaiian. It was a trip without the kids, just husband and I. On our way to the hotel we passed up plenty of tall modernized constructed hotels. But when we arrived infront of The Royal H. it was breathtaking. I has an old style traditional exterior architect, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Everywhere you stand is a picture setting. As you step inside the lobby it is well decored with contemporary touch of large vases decorated with tropical plants and floral, widescreen painting on wall and a indoor-outdoor view of another garden. The staff was very friendly and waited us like royality. The housekeepers, bartenders, and waiters were all friendly and gave us the best service. The outdoor beachbar made the best Maitai's compared to other hotel beachbar there we visited. The Azure restaurant had the best Ribeye steak, compared to Wolfgang's Restaurant nearby. The suit we had was very much 5 star. We had two baconys from our bedroom: one given us the panoramic view of the beach and pool below, and the other bacony viewed the beautiful tropical garden and admiration of the hotels architect. The suit was spacious, clean, smell fresh and decor and furniture was tasteful. The only disappointment there was when we check out.:( ... I hope to return for the same experience The Royal Hawaiian gave me.
It was worth the time and money spend there. Highly Recommended
