Stayed 4 nights in a double double city view room on 16th floor. Very nice hotel, great service from staff. Rooms are nicely appointed, comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Our room was supposed to have an iPad, it was missing, but we didn't both asking for one. The wifi was slow and dropped out frequently. This is going to be... More

June 4 -11 2013 - 7 day luxury We swapped our booking from the Sheraton which is massive in a busy area towards Diamond Head for this smaller one at slightly higher cost .But every dollar spent was more than justified. The Management want this hotel to be perfect in every respect and we can not fault it. The reception,... More

We stayed at The Modern during the first week of our honeymoon. Due to all the positive reviews our expectations were high. Our stay however exceeded all these expectations. The service was impeccable and the staff goes beyond their means to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The room was very bright and clean. We booked a standard room... More

We are currently styling here. We have been here for 7 nights and on our second last night. I think my wife summed it up, the place is clean, modern and for the beautiful people. I think the target market is the young couples without kids. If you have kids I think the Hilton next door would cater for a... More

Nice hotel and great staff but I wouldn't stay here again! We stayed here twice on our recent honeymoon and both times they closed the pool for private parties. The first time it was the main pool- leaving the entire hotel to share a small wading pool that was only inches deep! Pretty unacceptable for a hotel with no beach... More

I live on the next island over. My wife and I go here often for weekend getaways. Mostly because we love the room service and the food, as well as Morimoto. Also the pool has a nice vibe, usually sans screaming children. I went three weeks ago with friends, and it was also excellent. Also Kathrin at the front desk... More

The ambience, the friendliness of the personel, the rooms - we thought it was just perfect! And clearly better than what we have experienced in higher class hotels throughout the islands... Highly recommended!!
