Sweetwater At Waikiki

Sweetwater At Waikiki offers family-friendly, self-catering apartments with fully equipped kitchens, private balconies, and air conditioning, just a 3-minute walk from Kuhio Beach. This 3-star property, rated 8.3 on Booking.com, sits in the Waikiki district, a 4-minute walk from the sand and near Saint Augustine by-the-Sea (300 metres) and Waikiki Shell (1 km). Guests can use the outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and on-site tennis court, while kids have outdoor play equipment and a playground. The apartments include private bathrooms, and some rooms feature roll-out beds, making them suitable for families with teens. A minimarket, snack bar, coffee house, BBQ facilities, and laundry rooms are available on-site, though there is no full restaurant or daily housekeeping service. Free parking is included, a significant advantage in Waikiki where other hotels charge around $50 USD per day. Honolulu International Airport is 16 km away, providing straightforward access for travelers. Sweetwater At Waikiki has an outstanding location score of 9.4 based on guest reviews, with the front desk staff noted for helpfulness, though the entrance is not clearly marked and check-in occurs on the 4th level of Tower 1, not the lobby. Walking distance to local shops, dining, and the ABC store adds convenience, and the property offers family rooms and an elevator, but note the pool area may close for renovation, as reported in April 2025. Sweetwater At Waikiki is known for its affordability in a pricey neighborhood, offering spacious accommodations, though some rooms may feel dated.

Free parking is included, saving about $50 USD per day compared to other Waikiki hotels.

Full kitchen in each apartment allows for cooking and grocery savings.

Location is a 3-minute walk to Kuhio Beach and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Family-friendly with roll-out beds, a playground, and outdoor play equipment for kids.

On-site laundry facilities and a minimarket add convenience for longer stays.

The pool and hot tub may be closed for renovation, so check availability before booking.

The entrance lacks a Sweetwater sign, and check-in is in Tower 1, which can be confusing initially.
