Hawaii Prince Waikiki Deal And Tips

Hawaii Prince is one of our favorite luxury hotels to stay in Waikiki.  I was pleasantly surprised to see it offered now for as little as $179, which even includes a $50 credit.  The credit is just enough to pay for a buffet breakfast for two.  At a net price of $129, this is a terrific and I believe unprecedented offer for the Hawaii Prince Waikiki.

What We Like:

All rooms are oceanfront with floor to ceiling windows and face away from the noise and congestion of Waikiki.

Great location at the entrance to Waikiki along the boat harbor.  It’s an easy walk to Ala Moana beach park and shopping center.

What We’d Change:

All rooms have a mini-refrigerator but no microwave.

The property is starting to show its age and is in need of some refurbishment.

Internet Charge is $11.95 daily plus tax.

While there are operable windows, there are no balconies.

The deal: “Spring Into Summer and Celebrate Hawaii’s 50th.“

• Special rates from $179 – $239 per night.
• Room category is Oceanfront Marina.
• Daily $50 resort credit good toward on-site resort activities (golf, dining, massages and more).
• Valid April 1 to September 30 (2009).

Our tips:

• When available at check-in, Hawaii Prince has offered their Ala Moana suites for an upgrade fee of $50 per night.  These two-room, two-bath suites are huge (over 800 sq. feet), and have fantastic views.  We never want to leave.
• Sign up (at no cost) for Prince Preferred and receive 1,000 point bonus plus a room category upgrade (higher floor).
• Self Parking is $15 per day.  There is metered hourly parking adjacent to the hotel and free parking along Ala Wai Canal across the street.
• A complimentary shuttle between the hotel and Waikiki that operates throughout the day.
• In addition to the swimming pool, the hotel offers a gym with free weights.
• The hotel golf course is a 40 minute drive.
