Review of Waikiki Malia
Reviewed Aug 30, 2021
So I booked this hotel using a travelzoo voucher, and got a great deal! This was my first time in Hawaii and I'm so glad we booked this hotel. The hotel is in the middle of all the action, there is tons of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The beaches are public and only about a 5 min walk. We stayed in the Luana building, and while it is a bit dated, we had everything we needed. 1 bedroom suite with living room that contained 2 twins beds and TV, small wet bar with fridge and microwave, separate bedroom with a queen bed ( super comfy) and a balcony. The room is spacious enough for a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 kids). If you are a budget traveler, this hotel can be a great and affordable way to take your whole family to Hawaii without breaking the bank. There is a city bus that you can take to the local mall or other locations, $3 must have exact change. The hotel also provides beach towels, I would reccommend buying cheap beach chairs at one of the neighboring stores as beach chair rentals were a whopping $75 per day. In my opinion that is kinda ridiculous, you can buy a chair for ten bucks and just give it away at the end of the trip or throw them out, way cheaper than spending $75 per day. Another tip would be to book excursions ahead of time, things seem to sell out pretty quickly. The hotel has a bar and Ihop attached but there are so many restaurants nearby, you can try so many different places. There is a small pool and jacuzzi, has to be reserved but that was never an issue. The staff is wonderful, every single person we interacted with was so sweet and helpful. I gave it 5 stars because it met all of my needs, and was an awesome value. if you are looking for something a bit more lux upgrade to a different building, their rooms are updated.

Excellent stay! We booked this hotel through Costco travel. When we arrived, we were quickly checked in and informed of all the nice amenities of the hotel.

The hotel has a cute small pool with a hot tub, and a gym. Everything was available with some covid protocols which I greatly appreciated. We stayed for 6 nights and got a great price, it’s only a couple blocks from the beach.

This was for my anniversary with my love. Upon entering the room, we were greeted by Susanna, a super friendly maid! She had laid out some beautiful towel folded swans kissing each other on the bed with Rose pedals scattered on the sheets and also a box of Hawaiian chocolates that were so good, along with a greeting letter.

The room was very clean and shower water was real hot. Susanna really made this hotel experience for us the best, she seemed to always be around asking if we needed any help with anything at all. My girl got super bad sunburn a few days into our stay and she guided me to the ice area so I could fill up some bags and help her. Sheets, towels, soaps, coffee, were always renewed. They offer the option to leave your towels hung up if you don’t want them replaced to save water, we chose that for the planet!

Another thing I really appreciated was the fact that last minute we had realized we booked a tour during the time we needed to check out and were really concerned we would have to drag our luggage around, but the front desk lets you store all your own belongings safely in a storage room they have on site. They allowed us to extend our checkout time for a very affordable hourly price. They also have another shower, just in case you want to go hit the beach and come back to clean up before your flight.

Definitely worth a stay! Thank you again Susanna, this employee deserves a RAISE! We had to leave her a tip!

We had a great stay. The hotel was walking distance to everything. It was clean and you could reserve the pool. I would recommend staying here. Their customer service was excellent and they were so kind.

just finished a wonderful 9 night stay at the Malia. I had a very clean and spacious room on the 16th floor of the Malia tower. The hotel was spotless and consistently clean. My room had zero issues with it. All of the staff members are very friendly and professional, including the fantastic housekeeper on my floor. Location is superb. If you are a coffee addict like me, Starbucks Reserve is a block away, open 5am. Ali'i coffee across the street in the Marriott lobby. Lots of great food options everywhere. I have stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Royal Hawaiian and you can't beat the price for what you get at the Outrigger Malia. Mahalo nui!
