We loved the layout of the one bedroom. We did have a few problems which we advised the hotel of upon our return. We should have told them while we were there because they really made the effort to look after our concerns. Overall the rooms were very nice but the housekeeping could use some improvement and the views were... more

I have stayed her a few times and I will continue to stay here every time I come. I read the reveiws with the bugs and I must say I have not experienced bugs at all while I was there. I have stayed elsewhere in waikiki in hotels that where decent but small, tiny lanais and no view what so... more

The hotel was okay and we didn't expect luxury for what we paid. The room was a decent size, but quite shabby and not particularly clean. Having a fridge and microwave was a definite bonus. The bathroom was tiny and smelly. The walls are very thin, so it can be noisy. The little shop on the 6th floor was very... more

A wonderful week on the 22nd floor of the hotel. Had a view of the golf course, ocean, and the canal. Room amenities were sufficient with a microwave, refrigerator, utensils, and two queen size beds. Plenty of hot water for the bathtub/shower, and dishwashing sink. Pool and hot tub on the sixth floor which were grand. Construction repair was underway... more

My husband and I took advantage of some cheap airline flights to Hawaii in February of 2007 and were looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay - just a decent three star hotel to use as a base for our stay on Oahu. Anyone who's tried to find a mid-range value-for-money place to stay in Waikiki would know that... more

The Aqua Island Colony is a poor excuse for a hotel. Not only is it dirty and infested with bed bugs and roaches, the staff are unhelpful and unfriendly. Upon reporting our bed bug problem to the staff and then later to their corporate body, we received zero help or acknowledgement. They could care less about their problems there. Steer... more

My husband and I just came back from our first trip to Hawaii. We booked five nights at the Island Colony through their website. They had a 'stay 4 nights and get the 5th night free' special. It was a very nice and clean hotel. I was a little weary after reading a few reviews from this site but for... more

I booked a very spur-of-the-moment first trip to Hawaii through Expedia and stayed at the Aqua Island Colony hotel, despite some unfavorable reviews on this website. My friend and I arrived while the hotel was undergoing some major external renovations and construction. Workers on scaffolding were busy doing their job, but were also keeping us from using certain amenities like... more

We got a great deal per night and saved on gas being that the location is right in Waikiki. My husband booked this hotel last minute as a short family weekend get away from the Ironman on the Big Island. The room was very clean and bug free as apposed to what the other guests complained of. It had one... more

Do not let the reviews that this place was "clean, close to beach, and worth the stay, fool you! This was the worst hotel my family has ever stayed at! On arrival, we were told that they needed a credit card for a deposit, no problem, being told that they would return the $50 immeadiatley we handed over our card.... more
