The Polynesian Residences, Waikiki Beach offers a convenient location right at the entrance of Waikiki, close to shops and within walking distance of the beach. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-designed, with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and the safe, enclosed pool area, making it a family-friendly option. Amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas are available for guests to use. However, some reviews mention issues with amenities not working properly, slow elevators, and noise from nearby bars and the highway. The parking is expensive, and some guests experienced pests and cracked fixtures. While the location and staff are praised, visitors should be aware of potential noise and maintenance concerns. Overall, it’s a decent choice for those seeking a centrally located hotel with friendly service.
The hotel smelled like fish but the front desk staff was so nice.

Room is not bad for the price but the bed sinks down too much and the pillow is too high. Room can be noisy if there’s a homeless screening in the middle of the night. Also the bathroom smells bad. Only 1 staff working at the front desk so expect to wait if there are multiple guests.
