Aqua Waikiki Beachside Hotel
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: Aqua Waikiki Beachside Hotel offers a low-key, friendly style. Laughter is heard frequently. Honeymooners, business travelers, and other adults favor the hotel not only for its location but for its no-airs attitude.
Amenity highlights: Just across the street, Waikiki Beach beckons. Along the beach runs a lovely, grass-and-palm-tree park, with shaded benches for viewing the surfing action.
Breakwaters offshore ensure lagoon-calm swimming conditions. Locals call this stretch of beach toward Diamond Head "Kuhio Beach." To visitors, it is all Waikiki Beach with access to the same warm Pacific waters.
