Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel Review

After a $30-million renovation on a very old and tired hotel, this former Aston resort opened the 717-room property in late 2002. The location, directly across the street from the beach, couldn't be better, but the rooms couldn't be smaller -- averaging 225 to 266 square feet (though 85% of them have ocean views). When ResortQuest took over in 2006, they immediately got rid of the Hawaiian "kitschy nostalgia" theme and repainted. The horrible garish colors are gone, replaced with wooden baseboards and bamboo trim over a floral carpet. They installed 32-inch flatscreen TVs, bamboo dressers, and bright floral headboards and accents. One of the traditions ResortQuest maintains is "Breakfast on the Beach" -- you get a free breakfast, which you can pack up in an insulated carrying bag and walk across the street to eat. Several food stations offer everything from burritos (veggie, ham, or cheese), pastries, fruit, and cereals to a Japanese breakfast of miso, rice, and fish. Tiki's Grill and Wolfgang Puck Express are other good places to eat here. Hot tip: For the best rate, check the website, under "e-specials," or choose one of their package deals.

Facilities:
2 restaurants (including Tiki's Grill & Bar); bar; outdoor pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
