Coconut Waikiki Hotel is a home-away-from-home for many guests. This hotel overlooks Ala Wai Canal and is just a short walk from Waikiki Beach and exclusive shopping and dining.

Relax after a day of activities in light and breezy, family-friendly guest rooms or suites with kitchenette facilities, complimentary WiFi and private lanai with views.

Retail stores are nearby for shopping. Check out International Market Place and Royal Hawaiian Center – both offering a mix of designer boutiques, jewelry shops and local specialty stores.

When it comes to dining at the hotel, guests can fire up a BBQ grill with family and friends on the pool deck or head out to local eatery Siam Square for traditional Thai food (2 mins walk). Heavenly Island uses local and organic ingredients to create delicious cuisine (5 mins walk) or there are French, Japanese, American steakhouses and seafood restaurants nearby.

Make a splash in the heated outdoor pool after a day of sightseeing or read a book while sun worshipping on the deck. Also, don’t miss the local attractions outside the hotel. The fabulous open market held on Mondays between 4-8pm along Waikīkī Beach Walk and Kū Haʻaheo Concerts on Tuesday’s between 4.30–6pm are well worth a visit.

This hotel was named Oahu’s “Best Hotel for Families and Aloha spirit” by Hawaii Magazine, making it a great choice for a family friendly stay.

Remember, as with the majority of Hawaiian hotels, there is a resort charge to pay. The cost here is US$29 + tax per day and parking of US$40 per car per night. This hotel is also dog friendly – a one-time fee of US$29 is payable to bring your furry companion on vacation.
