The Surfjack is a cute boutique hotel in the heart of Waikiki. Easy walking distance to shops and beach.

Kaimana Beach Hotel is located in the shade of Lēʻahi (Diamond Head), the hotel and beach are aptly named -- Kaimana means diamond in Hawaiian. Kaimana Beach offers solace with breathtaking makai (oceanside) and mauka (mountainside) views. The hotel sits near diamond head so you're not in the heart of Waikiki but this is one of our favorite spots and one of the only hotels located right on the sand!

The Beachcomber is one of our favorite hotels. We have stayed at this hotel for multiple "staycations". Perfect location, right in the middle of the Waikiki strip. They have a great pool/lounge area, a darling coffee shop/bar called Aroma Café, an art bar with local live music nightly called The Gallery below it, and the Maui Brewing Co. within the hotel, too! Lowest price room averages at about $240 without taxes and fees.

'Alohilani Resort is a hotel in the heart of Waikiki just down from the beach. It has a floor-to-ceiling aquarium in the lobby so if that tells you anything about the vibe of this hotel! It's stunning with an amazing pool/bar lounge area called Swell. Lowest price room averages at about $300 without taxes and fees.

The atmosphere of the hotel feels like its own little world. It is known for its gorgeous pink color and other picturesque features like the coconut grove garden nestled right past the entrance. We love the proximity to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center including multiple restaurants and the beach right out front. Royal Hawaiian does have two different towers, the Historic Wing and Mailani Tower. The Historic Wing is slightly cheaper because the rooms are smaller and there is no lanai (what we call a balcony), whereas Mailani Tower is slightly more spacious with all rooms including a gorgeous oceanfront lanai. Lowest price room averages at about $440 without taxes and fees.

If you are feeling like you want to SPLURGE on this Hawai'i trip and don't care how much it costs, then look no further!

Lowest price room averages at about $810 without taxes and fees.
