“Waikiki's royal hawaiian”
Right on the beach amid restaurants and shopping — old-world pink charm in the architecture and gardens — The Royal Hawaiian, A Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki is a first-class perfect stay for many: an attentive bellboy, a seamless upgrade, daily activities like yoga and lei-making, breakfast on the Surf Lanai, delicious Mai Tai bar plates and a happy third visit even in the entry-level shower-only room. Cautions: rather-dated older furnishings in parts and a billing mismatch between receipt and card charge under inquiry.
