Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

The Lotus Honolulu was recommended to me, and I can't wait to recommend it to my friends and family. It's located at the very end of Waikiki so it's very quiet and understated, which is what I prefer. The hotel staff is wonderful. The room is spacious and comfortable. We had a spectacular view of Diamond Head. Kaimea beach is just around the corner and it's perfect for play or a swim. I even saw turtles out there! There are great restaurants in the hotel and nearby. I would absolutely book at Lotus again if I travel to Oahu.

The location is amazing. Far enough away from the main Waikiki area that you don't deal with the noise or crowds, but still close enough that it's a 10-15min (scenic) walk to get there. If you're like me and prefer peace and quiet over being in the center of the action on trips, this is the spot for you. The views were amazing. I was on a low floor and still had beautiful views of Diamond Head then moved up when I extended my stay and wowww. Spectacular views. The beds are so comfy. I always have issues sleeping in hotels, but no issue here. The staff is extremely nice and made everything easy. The gym is perfect for any vacation workouts, but it's also right next to a huge park that has some outdoor equipment and tennis courts. The only drawback was the elevator took awhile since there was only one shared for all floors. But, everything else more than made up for that and it didn't really bother me. I'd still go back to this hotel.
