Where to stay in Waikiki ~ Coconut Waikiki Hotel

Where to stay in Waikiki ~ The Coconut Waikiki Hotel  

The Coconut Waikiki Hotel General description:

• Formerly known as the Coconut Plaza, the Coconut Waikiki Hotel was originally built in 1964, has 10 floors and about 80 rooms.
  It sits at the corner of Lewers and Ala Wai, in the back side of Waikiki, across the street from the Ala Wai canal. The Coconut Waikiki Hotel 

• of its existence under the same name, for a while was marketed independently, then it became an Aston, an Aqua and finally as of 2008 has been branded a Best Western.
• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel has basically 6 room categories, City View Queen, City View Double Double, City View King, Mountain View Double Double, Mountain View King and Executive Suites.
• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel had a last update in 2008. 

What we like about The Coconut Waikiki Hotel:

• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel is on Lewers Street, which are very well known and a central Waikiki street. It is only 4 blocks (or 8 minutes walk) to the beach.
• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel rooms facing the front of the building have a very nice view of the Koholau Mountains and the Ala Wai canal.
• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel serves a small continental breakfast for its guests. It is only coffee, milk, pastries and juice, but breakfast is not commonly included in Waikiki.
• Junior suites at the Coconut Waikiki Hotel are like a large studio with 2 bathrooms.

What you may not like about The Coconut Waikiki Hotel:

• The Coconut Waikiki Hotel, City View Queen rooms are VERY small. You may want book the City View/Mountain View Double Double or King instead.
• You should not confuse their Executive Suites with a one bedroom. Executive Suites are only one room, just a little larger than the regular City View or Mountain View.
• The pool and pool area are VERY small at the Coconut Waikiki Hotel.
