Luana Waikiki (budget hotel)
Luana Waikiki offers a laid-back tropical vibe just a short walk from the famous Waikiki Beach. The rooms are spacious and comfy, with many featuring kitchenettes and balconies overlooking the ocean or city skyline.
The hotel has a nice outdoor pool area where you can soak up the Hawaiian sun. There's also a fitness center if you want to squeeze in a workout. One of the best perks is the manager's wine and cheese reception a few evenings a week - a great way to mingle with other guests.
Location-wise, it's perfect. You're close enough to easily stroll to the beach, shops and restaurants, but just far enough away from the main strip to avoid the crowds and noise. The staff are super friendly and always happy to offer local tips. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxing Waikiki getaway.

The 8th floor is where it's at - there's an infinity pool with awesome views of Waikiki Beach, plus a hot tub and pool bar for kicking back with a cocktail.

The Surfjack Hotel (medium range hotel)
The Surfjack Hotel in Honolulu is a cool spot with a retro vibe. It's got that laid-back Hawaiian feel but with a stylish twist.

The location is pretty sweet too. It's just a short walk to Waikiki Beach and all the shopping and restaurants. But it's just far enough away that you're not right in the middle of the tourist madness. The on-site restaurant, Mahina & Sun's, serves up tasty organic dishes and craft cocktails.
