Hotels near Rainbow Reef in Kapolei

We have booked Hampton Inns across the US for over two decades because of the consistent delivery on the core amenities that make for a family friendly hotel. We stayed two nights at this hotel and my score here is based on the second night. Our first night was a horror show that resulted in a comped night. I'll include that information at the bottom but don't think (or at least I hope it doesn't) reflect the hotel in general. Overall - this is a hotel that is trading on a name and the sky high hotel prices on hawaii without providing the appropriate quality of service, amenities or upkeep to deserve your business. Pros: 1) The hotel is located in a shopping plaza in Kapolei. While this offers plentiful restaurants and shops in the close vicinity this is also a significant con for reasons I will describe below. 2) The King/sofabed room was very reasonably sized with a functional fridge and comfortable beds. 3) Apart from one employee (described below) all other staff were friendly and accommodating. Cons: 1) The room otherwise was not convenient. There were no linens for the sofabed (we had to go down to the front desk to request more), minimal pillows etc. Why offer a sofabed but then make it so difficult to use? The bathroom door was absolutely absurd - It was a slider door on a railing on the outside - which meant that you couldn't lock the door and there was a ~ 2 inch gap between door and frame when closed. Better be close friends with those in the room! 2) The location means that you share parking with everyone in the mall. We had to park quite far away from the hotel which is not great for baggage etc. 3) While the food/beverages were all adequate and frequently refilled there was something VERY wrong with the coffee (stale and sour), waffle mix (sour and pasty) and eggs (tasted like salty toothpaste). The common sourness and pasty nature across the three suggest that something is wrong with the water but I would expect that they are checking before serving customers. My kids would eat just about any flavor waffle (and have happily devoured any and all hotel waffles in their time) but both said these were disgusting. The eggs were grainy and pasty - honestly I have never eaten anything like that. I didn't point out these issues as given the other problems experience with the room and the situation described below - I felt that it may have seemed like 'serial complaining”. I figured that if it was fine for everyone else - leave it be and if others felt the same - they would notify the property. The no good-very bad night. 1) We arrived at the hotel later in the evening after an evening flight and so my tired kids went to bed. I jumped in the shower at about 9:30 and noticed that there was only one temperature of water available - Boiling. I thought maybe switching up the input/output may help so I switched from the faucet to the shower and now only cold water was available. I felt that a fu

Overall okay, just no kettle. Although the hotel is not in the city center, there are a few places to eat and a foodland big supermarket in the vicinity. The supermarket is mainly like takumi, which is based on food. I feel that the experience of Ctrip is very good. In my itinerary, I can find the food around this hotel, transportation and shopping, etc. There are outlets near the hotel, discount stores at Wal-Mart Supermarket, Hawaii Water Park, even if you take a 30-40 minute taxi ride from downtown Waikiki. It is very convenient to use Uber.

We live on the island of Oahu, but decided to get away for the weekend to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We decided to stay at the Residence in Kapolei Oahu and had a wonderful time. The hotel is in a great location, near Raising Canes, 7-Eleven, and Starbucks, which are all within walking distance of the hotel. About a mile and a half away is the Ka Makana Ali’i mall. The front desk staff was very courteous and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and clean. The only thing I can say about the room is the pillows were a little too soft for my taste. I like them a little firmer, but that is a very minor issue. The free breakfast is delicious. It comes with a buffet that offers scrambled eggs, choices of meat , make your own toast or waffles, fruits, cereals, and fruit juices, and coffee. The hotel had a special going on for local residents so we took advantage of that package. We used the gym equipment on both days but didn’t have a chance to use the pool. Unfortunately, we forgot to leave a tip for our housekeeper upon check out. I ended up calling the hotel to see if I could get the name of the housekeeper who cleaned our room after we checked out I was told her name is Abby. So, Abby, I will be stopping by one day to bring you a little something for your hard work. Thank you to all the staff at the Residence Inn Kapolei Oahu for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back again. I highly recommend this hotel,

The hotel service is very good, very attentive, clean, beautiful landscape, beautiful sea view, the swimming pool on the fifth floor of the hotel is very good, the location is convenient, the only downside is the high parking fee of 40 knives per day.

It is newly decorated in a Japanese style. The fixed seaside view is that the beach is not a full sea view. Most of the Japanese customers also have exclusive services. It is friendly to children. There are children's pools and water play facilities, and there is also an infinity pool with an adult bar. It is great not to disturb each other. There is a Lawson convenience store, an ice cream shop, etc. just below, with complete facilities, it is worth living in!

I paid the resort fee and deposit with my card when I checked in in the morning, but when I went to the front desk to pick up my room key in the afternoon, I was charged the resort fee and deposit again. Even if I told him that I had paid when I checked in earlier, he insisted that I could pay. It's not for me, it's for my husband. Even though I said it was strange that I had reserved only one room for two people, I was told to pay. I asked someone who could speak Japanese to take over the phone and explain things to me, and they finally gave me the room key, but there was no explanation or apology as to why it happened. I was handed the room key with a defiant attitude. And, as expected, I was charged at the restaurant even though I made a reservation with a plan that included breakfast. If the front desk is that much, well, I thought it would be like that. I'm scared of what I'll be charged next time when I check out tomorrow. Is Marriott a hotel like that? I come to Hawaii every year, but I will never stay at a Marriott again. It's a shame because the location and facilities are fine.

This's my first time booking through ”trip” app. I glad i did. Our room is corner views where we got both the view from diamond head and oceanfront. This's the best experience i have. We arrived at the hotel on a Friday night around 7pm Hawaii time. Didn't expect they were doing fireworks around 8pm. I got to see it right from my window view. Omg.....i was breaking in tears where i haven't experience of fireworks this close before. I wish they allow video reviews in here where i can share my recording of the fireworks to you all. My daily views from my room are the best everyday and night throughout our stay. We walked around the beaches, restaurants and stores around the hotel area everynight before bed. Anyway, thank you for the awesome experience and memories. Love it so much and totally recommend.

The room was comfortable and large. The two large beds with a good mattress. The complete toilet, although a bit small (you can brush your teeth and pee at the same time 😅). The room has air conditioning, safe, fridge and microwave. The TV is quite large. In addition, a balcony with two chairs and a table. Pity about the views and the noise. The views are on a street with a lot of traffic and the balcony glass did not insulate the noise, so you could hear the noise of cars and police and ambulance sirens all night long... Parking is not included and you they charge 28USD (+ taxes) per night. In addition, they don't guarantee you a place and if you arrive and it's full, they make you go to another car park. There are supermarkets and shops nearby and it's a 20-minute walk from the famous Waikiki Beach.

First off, we’ve been staying here for 18 years. We love the lagoons and it’s away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. We’re the “lay on the beach all day” type of family so this place is our favorite resort. Every room we’ve had through the years has been clean, wonderful views, except one time we had a parking lot view, which was fine since we’re at the beach most of the time. Cons: The pool chair hogs and check out time. They should really implement a system like other resorts. Most chairs are empty all day with a towel saving the spot and no one sitting there for hours. Our one time at the pool, we only got seats later in the afternoon at 3pm. Also check out time at 10am is way too early. Would be nice to check out at noon like other places. Now for the Pros, the resort and lagoons are beautiful. The water is warm, my teenagers like to snorkel at the end of the lagoon. We typically stay in a 1 or 2 bedroom villa, this past stay it was nice to see the Nai’a tower remodeled. Love the full kitchen and in room laundry/dryer. My daughter loves to participate in the daily resort activities - lei making, ti leaf bracelets and temporary tattoos. My son frequents the gym and it is 24 hours. Plus for the peloton bikes! Now for the staff. I love their aloha spirit, so warm and friendly. They are fantastic! I need to give a shout out to Melvin Ratto - Resort Ambassador. I met him in one of our past stays at the cabana hut. We came back another time, he remembered us as well. This past week, he personally came by our beach cabana to say hello! He really is the best, makes sure our stay is comfortable! Shannon at the bell desk is awesome, gave us some food recommendations which was nice. The cabana hut workers Kalai, Nathan, Jordan and Braedon, also super friendly, personable, great guys! Maintaining great attitudes for working in the heat all day. Our housekeeper Melban, very understanding for coming back at a later time to clean our room. Thanks to the staff for making our stay wonderful. We always have a great time staying here and hope to continue coming back.

Don’t book a room cheaply! *Environmental location, next to Wakiki Beach and on the main road, it is very convenient to be connected in all directions. Convenience stores and restaurants, trolly stations, public beaches, and zoos are all very close and within walking distance. *Room facilities, the hotel has a history of a hundred years, so it is very stylish, but the city view room in the Diamond Building is so bad! ! ! ! Not as good as the new 3 star hotel rooms. (Pictured below are the benefits of room upgrade with the Marriott Platinum Card. I booked the cheapest room, but it turned out that booking through a third party did not provide any membership benefits. In the Maui fire, the hotel was full, and I wanted to upgrade temporarily but there was no room). The room is old, with an area of ​​less than 20 square meters. Morning and night, I am woken up either by cars on the road or by the phone in the next room. A very bad experience! * Service, remind the guests to check the bill carefully. After staying for 5 nights, the wrong bill was charged on 4 days. They checked it out one by one when they checked out, and the wrong money was refunded after 4 days. In short, don't try to be cheap when booking a room. The small and shabby room type is not as good as staying in Hyatt or Marriott. The price/performance ratio is too low!
