Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel

Rent a condo for a hotel price

Aloha Surf Builder rooms are apparently small condos that can be rented through Waikiki Sands for a low hotel rate. The rooms are way better than average for a budget hotel and even have LCD tvs and microwaves in a small kitchenette. I am impressed with both these rooms and the standard room across the street in the main Sands hotel.

Depends on what you need

This is a hotel to drop your bags and run, stay all day out, and return late at night. Bed was no good. Cleaning was almost OK. Free internet connection was extremely slow and unstable. Breakfast: just coffee or tea and a toast or a mini donut. The good part is that it is a quiet location, 2 blocks from Waikiki Beach, it faces the Ala Wai channel, which is not a bad view. They give you beach towels.

the good, the bad, the ugly

the good - Free complimentary continental breakfast (mini-donuts, go-gurt, toasts, pineapple juice, coffee). nice bar at lobby. i believe it was FRee wifi though. the bad - need to be cleaner and renovated. location is a lil too inland... need to walk extra blocks to goto beach. But very near the International Market. the ugly - they charge for parking.

Sunny & Sung

the Good - 1. cheap and affordable. 2. free continental breakfast with tiny donuts, gogurts (yogurts inside a tube), coffee, juice, and toasts. 3. nearby a 24 hours Denny's if u get hungry middle of night. 4. i believe it was free wifi (i was there in July so am not positive of this but i believe it was free) the BAD - 1. they charge for parking, which sucks 2. location is walking distance from the' beach yet... its more near that dirty river that's famous for having dangerous flesh eating bacterias rumors than the beach. It is near the Waikiki International market though. 3. room is tiny and dingy... they really NEED to re-do give the rooms a makeover or something. 4. it's bad cause they could do so much more to liven up and give the hotel some identity and charm. Instead of being just a cheap no frill place. the UGLY - 1. at night the main street near the hotel where the Denny's is has some strange scary (to my wife) street walking pro types hanging around... the area needs to be cleaned up at night. 2. Lets have some pride and take better care of the place... :)

Great Hotel 5 blocks from Beach

Charge of $15 per day for parking was unexpected but I found out common on the island

Good Price, Unresolved Problem

The price was fine and the location was good. But the A/C unit in my room was malfunctioning. I reported this to the front desk. They told me that there were no other rooms to move me into. Instead, they told me that they would fix the problem with the A/C. But they did not do this.

Loved the location and price

We totally enjoyed the stay. Friendly and helpful staff.We were able to leave our luggage with the staff after we checked out because we didn't leave for the airport for 4 more hours. The location was easy walking distance to the beach and everything else we needed. The bar was cool with nice patrons. Would recommend and would stay there again. Thanks!

Great Customer Service & Nice Room

The staff at Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel could not have been better. They really exceeded my expectations. They were professional, friendly, and very accommodating. The room we received was nicely furnished, clean, and well maintained. The mountain view was exactly as promised. Overall, the experience was terrific. I will stay here again in the near future.

Great room for the money

Basically its a decent location but you get what you pay for.. no room service. the gym is not much of a gym at all.. there was no soap and barely any shampoo left in the dispenser in the shower..the free breakfast in the morning was barely a breakfast at all.. not the normal contintental breakfasts you see at the typical hotel. I also didnt care for the fact that you get charged 15 dollars additional each day for parking your car too.. but overall if you can put all that aside its a great place for the money

our stay

We enjoyed everything about the hotel and the Sand Grill. The food was excellent and very reasonable. If we ever return to Oahu we will stay again.

great hotel at a great price

This hotel is adorable and the best part about it is that it is very close to everything and the beach is a very short walk away. The restaurant at the hotel is fun to go down to and is delicious! It has the most reasonable prices on the island! The rooms are a little outdated but they are bright and seem to be clean. There is a nice business center that has free computer access and wireless is free in the lobby and at the pool. I stayed her about 20nights and for the most part the staff was accomodating, however, a few front desk clerks were not so accomodating and I was a little taken a back by that because of how many times I frequent the hotel. Repeat customers are not given any sort of "typical" repeat customer perks, ie free late check out (20minutes late), room upgrade, early check in (1hour). etc. The room is a great value and it is located where I like to be, so overlooked its shortcomings.
