Just a block from Waikiki Beach on the western edge of the main hotel row, next to the park at Fort DeRussy, this casual hotel provides easy access to the Pacific's turquoise waters while offering a sanctuary from the shopping bustle of Waikiki.
Renovated in the spring of 2002, guestrooms are prettily decorated with light-gray island-style furniture and bright bedspreads. They all provide view balconies, cable television, pay movies, and a refrigerator.
Guests enjoy peace and quiet at the hotel, then walk across the street for access to the lively Outrigger Reef on the Beach. The Royal Islander's big sister not only fronts on Waikiki Beach but offers a large swimming pool and sundeck, three jet-spas, a poolside bar, a health-and-beauty spa, and several restaurants.
