Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa located in the Waikiki Beach area, is a great option when staying in Oahu. Let’s share what makes this resort perfect for couples and families!
When you first step in the resort, the open-air lobby will wash you in the Aloha Spirit! The rooms are nicely appointed. The only room we suggest avoiding are the lead in rooms, meaning the cheapest. They are very small and compact. They offer rooms with an ocean view or partial view. If seeing the ocean from your room is important, you will want the ocean view and not a partial.
The beach is open to the public and the views are fabulous. You can also see Diamond Head from the public beach. They offer dining at their beach restaurant, which offers incredible views. You can go in regular shoes because it is on the patio. However, take your beach shoes because you will want to walk the beach after dining. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to dine during a performance from a local singer. I also recommend a cup of coffee on the patio facing the ocean or dining for breakfast at the veranda. They also have offer spa experiences and shopping!
The resort’s location is unbeatable. It’s within walking distance of Duke’s Waikiki and an array of shops and dining options, making it easy to explore the vibrant neighborhood. That said, Waikiki is known for its lively atmosphere, which can be busy and noisy at times. If tranquility is more your style, consider combining your trip with a stay on Oahu’s serene North Shore.
Having stayed at many resorts and hotels across Oahu, I can confidently say that the Moana Surfrider offers a unique blend of luxury, location, and local culture. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or a family vacation, I’d love to help you craft the perfect Hawaiian adventure.
