Name: Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa
Rating: 4.0

Historic yet modern

Introduction
Facilities
Reviews

Moana Surfrider displays a certain style on these shorelines you may not find at some of its neighbour. Think Victorian-era design combined with palm trees and hula lessons.

Centrally located and equidistant from the parks that book-end Waikiki beach. Pull up to its grand entrance and immediately see why this is known as Waikiki’s most historic resort. Perched right on the beach, facing out towards the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii's famous surf scene, and with Waikiki’s chic shopping street within walking distance, you’ll be pretty chuffed with where you’ve landed.
