This place is a timeshare. The rooms are small but clean and the staff is kind and pleasant. We chose the ocean instead of the pool everytime we wanted to swim. I would never swim in any pool in Hawaii because the ocean is 1000 times better. If you need to save money then this place is for you. The kitchenette is small but it was perfect for the two of us. ABC stores and restaurants are a short walk away. There are 2 propane barbeque grills in back next to the pool for everyone to share. Our chicken barbeque came out perfect. Our hamburger barbeque came out fantastic. They only ask that you scrape off the grill when you finish cooking. The activities coordinator is truly amazing. We did not buy any event tickets off the internet and did not need to use any coupon books because she was able to beat their prices. She also gave us tips that were incredibly helpful and cost saving. We rode the bus instead of renting a car. The bus cost 2 bucks and it was easy to access. There is a free waikiki trolly but we never rode it. We took the 40 minute timeshare meeting and saved an extra 100 bucks off our activities. That was in addition to the discounts that were already applied to price she got for us. She said we worked hard to save our vacation dollars. She was there to help us get the maximum value out of our dollars. I recommend you meet with the activities coordinator as soon as it is convenient to plan your time. Taking the bus or a shuttle for most destinations instead of a rental car is a no-brainer.

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii thanks to the great experience we had with Celebrity Resorts Waikiki. Everyone at the resort was very helpful and friendly, the room was excellent and the kitchenette helped us to save money so we could spend it instead on extra activities, gifts and other purchases. Although we did not end up taking advantage due to time constraints, Celebrity Resort had several fun offerings for guests including a free scuba lesson in the pool which was very impressive. The resort is only a couple of blocks from the beach, less than a block from the International Marketplace and 2 blocks from the local grocery store so everything was just steps away. We would definitely stay at Celebrity Resorts on any future trips to Waikiki!

this hotel was perfect for my trip -- could not have asked for more. has a nice kitchenette with fridge, range, microwave, blender, pots, pans, plates etc... great if you want to bring quick easy meals with you and save some money on meals. staff is awesome and more than accomidating. hotel is conviently located to shops, beaches and bus lines. its not a five star fancy room so dont expect that, but my queen bed and pull out sofa sleeper was more than comfy enough! nice place for friends or family travelers. If i had to knock something about the hotel is that in my room the shower (no tub) was a bit small and built for those of us who are shorter, don't know what i would have done if i was 6 foot. don't know if that was uniqe to my room or not. event planner is on staff and they have events you can attend at the hotel some for free, some for a small cost. great because the first morning, they give you a free breakfast and overview of the island. great hotel, would stay over and over again!

I was very happy with our stay at the Celebrity Resorts / Honolulu. The hotel was in a excellent location near shopping, restaurants, and Waikiki beach. There is a fun little Karaoke bar right next door. We found ourselves stopping in for a couple drinks and a song each night before going to bed. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The pool / hot tub area was quite nice and tranquil. The beds are not the most comfortable, but what can you expect for the price? Overall, I feel this hotel provides great Bang for your buck! I would definately stay there again if I was on a similar budget.
