Embassy Suites Waikiki with Kids – Review
Where: Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
When: July 2012
Who: Family of 2 adults and 2 young school aged kids (that would be the 4 of us!)
The Hotel:
We spent 2 nights at the here in this post about Disney Hotels, so it was free for us to stay here. I don’t remember the exact cost (in miles) for the room, but I do remember that we got an excellent redemption value. Hotel prices were very high because we were there for the July 4th holiday, and using miles worked out perfectly for us. For some reason that I am not quite sure about (cute kids is my guess), they upgraded us to the largest room type (2 bedroom, 2 bathroom) and we were told that it was the best room in the hotel. It had a huge balcony with ocean views as well.
The Embassy Suites Waikiki includes a decent cook-to-order breakfast (like all Embassy Suites hotels) and also includes a happy hour where you can get as many watered down drinks as you are willing to stand in line to get. Actually, the happy hour at the Embassy Suites Waikiki was great. It was at the pool, and the drinks were pretty good.
The Pool:
For our family travels, the pool is always an important factor. We aren’t super picky about it, but do enjoy a good pool when one is available to us. The pool at this hotel was nice and the kids had lots of fun making friends and playing in the pool until dark.
The Location:
There are tons of places to walk that are close to this hotel. You can walk across the street to Waikiki Beach. There are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance as well.
Overall…. We really loved this hotel, our huge upgraded room, and the location. We would definitely stay here again if we go back to Waikiki.
