Outstanding stay at the Polynesian! They graciously let us check in early and were very kind and helpful. They had beach chairs, towels and umbrellas for the beach! 5-7 min walk to the beach and our parking badge worked without any issues. Room has standard amenities…microwave, iron, fridge, coffee, etc. We even had a balcony overlooking the city! Restaurants and shopping were within walking distance. There is an ABC store on every corner for your convenience. We actually had to drive by the hotel a few times before we found it. Their front door is nestled away in between some other stores, a little tough to see. We had no issues whatsoever and would definitely recommend the Polynesian! For the price is was well worth it!

Loved our stay at the Polynesian Residences. The staff was so friendly and helpful and quick to respond to even the small issues we had (the last guest locked the safe open). Although it is not a high end resort, it is clean, safe, and conveniently located not far from the beach. It also has a very nice pool area, and the free to use beach towels and beach chairs was an added plus. Great value for the money.

Great location, parking is a bit of a hassle but you'll get over it after a while. Loading/Unloading luggage also gets tricky because of the parking situation. Exceptional staff! The pros may outweigh the cons, depending on your preference.

Polynesian Residencies was an excellent hotel for my first trip to Oahu Hawaii. The staff was friendly and my room was cleaned and restocked every day. The hotel offered parking for only $35 a day. While that seems high, that is quite a cheap price compared to other hotels in the area. I was able to park in a large reserved parking lot unavailable to other travelers. I was able to get a parking space every day, and I was only required to walk a short distance to my hotel. The hotel is also in a great location in Waikiki, within walking distance to all of the main stores in souvenir shops. The beach is also only a short walking distance away. The price on this hotel was much more reasonable than some of the other hotels in the region I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable option while still being near the same attractions as the other main hotels. The hotel is located on luxury row, with many high-end stores, including Rolex and Tiffany & Company. The hotel is in a great part of town, and I did not question my safety. I will certainly consider using this hotel again during any future trips to Oahu.
