This is NOT a hotel - it is a timeshare that people rent out. We stayed in room 205 and it was the most disgusting place in which I have stayed in many, many years. Filthy tile, smelled like mold, dark, dank. Just awful. We would have complained but there was no one to complain to! The desk was not... More

We have stayed at the hotel about 8 times over a period of 30 years. It used to be top rank. However, now 50% of the rooms have been converted to Condos. The hotel has undergone considerable renovation, and for the most part the facilities are excellent. The location is outstanding; far enough away from Waikiki to avoid the masses,... More

Stayed in a one bedroom suite #1401, AWESOME views - the property itself has a great ambience about it - the building itself is quite old - but hey, so is about 90 percent of Waikiki hotel condo properties. Some renovations were going on, but I didn't mind, because they are only bettering the hotel - if they weren't we'd... More

Under construction, located next to condos whose neighbors had to shush the party in the room next to mine, mediocre service. When I complained about my room setup (microwave next to bathroom), I was told it was a condo in the hotel pool and that's how the owners designed it and they couldn't rearrange my room. Noisy surf instructors hanging... More

Had some relatives stay there for a few weeks and spent some time there with them, and it's pretty bad. The hotel's run down, and a lot of the rooms are condo/hotel which means they're owned by individuals & just put into the hotel rental pool, so there's not much quality control. The other guests are often rowdy, and they... More

The views from the penthouse are unbelievable. Centrally located in Honolulu. Great surfing right behind the hotel.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in July of 2004. On the 9th floor it was not only beautiful but so much quieter and less congested than the other hotels. The view was breathtaking and even in July, it was chilly on our private balcony. Very windy, but a very nice change with the daytime highs of around... More

The Marc Resorts website showcases this hotel as a premier beachfront property. The photos of the property were misreprentated... When we arrived there is no place to park...the lobby was run down, no receptionist and we had to ring a bell for service. The check in clerk was very apologetic and informed us that the property is in the process... More

This hotel was just what we wanted. Nice staff,location was great and the room was clean and comfortable.We like to avoid Waikiki and still be close to town.I am a former Hawaii resident and I liked the local atmosphere there.We will stay there again next year.

Diamond Head Beach Hotel is an old run down property that is marketed with brochures that truly don't represent its present condition. It is very low priced and if that is your only consideration, it would work for you.The brochure says that there is "basement parking(fee). They don't say it is limited and may not be available to you when... More
