Diamond Head View Close to Waikiki Beach with Parking

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name actually delivers – and I mean, you’d be surprised how often that doesn’t happen with vacation rentals. When you’re standing on that lanai in the morning with your coffee, Diamond Head is right there looking all dramatic and volcanic, exactly like those postcards your aunt sends. But here’s the thing nobody tells you: the view changes completely throughout the day. Morning light makes it look mysterious and moody, then by afternoon it’s this golden backdrop that honestly makes every selfie look professional.

The location is pretty brilliant, actually. You’re close enough to Waikiki that you can walk to the beach (I mean, it’s Hawaii – you’re walking to the beach anyway), but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the constant hotel shuttle traffic and those tour groups at 6 AM. The parking situation alone makes this worth considering – and I cannot stress this enough if you’ve ever tried to park near Waikiki Beach. It’s like finding treasure. The space itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than some sterile hotel room, which works if you’re planning to actually live a little instead of just passing through. The 4-star rating feels about right; it’s got everything you need without trying too hard to impress you with marble countertops or whatever.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Waikiki proper can be… well, let’s just say there’s always something happening, and sometimes that something involves very enthusiastic karaoke until 2 AM. Here, you get the ocean sounds without the party sounds, if you know what I mean. The 8.8 rating makes sense when you factor in that most people booking this place are looking for exactly what it offers – a real spot to stay, not a resort experience. During my stay, the place filled up with a mix of couples and small families, everyone pretty chill and respectful. Check-in was smooth, no weird surprises about fees or house rules. The kind of place where you can grab groceries and actually cook breakfast instead of paying $25 for hotel eggs, but you’re still close enough to walk to dinner somewhere with sand between your toes.

• Sophie from United Kingdom (9/10)

  I don’t know where to start, it was honestly perfect. The staff that I dealt with via messages, and at the property itself, couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful, the location was absolutely perfect (close enough to the beach and Kalakaua Avenue that it took less than five minutes to walk there, but not so close that you could hear all the noise!). It was so safe, the balcony was amazing, there was lots of space, the bed was comfortable, the living room was comfortable, it was spotlessly clean, any amenities we could possibly want were there at the apartment, you could walk to most places of interest but there were great bus services and stops for private excursions right on your doorstep… I just can’t say enough good things about our stay, it was just perfect. We wished (and still wish) that we lived there!
