New building ownership six weeks prior to our visit but same mgt This was our 3rd stay at the 60 year old Royal Moana. It seems that since the city made some areas month long only, they let this building go down hill. The first two consecutive years we stayed four and then six weeks and every day someone was there watering and hosing down the stairs and parking area. Now it's dirty and covered with cigarette butts and other litter out by the street. No more grass growing between the curb and building. Using some lava chips in and around the walkways that get scattered all over. The plants are doing okay, but the palm frons that die are cut off irregular and some just thrown over the block wall into the empty lot, so even that looks more trashed than it otherwise would. We trimmed and watered the pot plants on the stair landings as they had been ignored and were brown to almost dead. The room maintenance was poor. We couldn't open the sliding lanai door more than a foot. Cupboard door was coming off, the lazy susan was broke, the fridge doors open the wrong way for the kitchen... Silverware, glasses and plates were an eclectic collection. The front door and that of our neighbors are loose to where they doesn't close tight. Bath cabinets are nice and functional but have been water damaged and just left. The tile on one counter has had pieces come off and not replaced. Only one lanai chair was provided. The mgt companies commercial laundry goes all day/7 days/week using the machines and ground floor apartment for storage of all the linens etc. They manage 160 units and seem to use this as the cleaning base location. But they did try. Mike came and worked on some of the issues and provided two new lanai chairs as well as new dishes so we had a complete set. He tried to stabilize the lazy susan and cabinet door and drawer that was coming apart. He even got some door guys to come and put new wheels on the lanai door so we could open it. Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Friday, January 7, 2022 Aloha and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback and we will get our maintenance team there to look over the maintenance of the building. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Honolulu. Mahalo!

Great Location Located a short walk to the beach was great. However being in the heart of Waikiki means it's very loud from sirens, garbage trucks, etc. Some soundproofing of the unit would go a long way, new windows and sealed sliding door.

Neat, Clean, Efficient. Wonderful location. We loved this place and would stay again in a heartbeat. The design is very clever. A very good use of limited space. There is a set of pocket doors that enable an early riser to putter about the kitchen without disturbing the late sleeper. The location itself is just perfect, between the Ala Wai canal and the public area of Waikiki. We like to walk a lot, and there is no shortage of destinations from this spot. In the extreme, we walked to the top of Diamond Head one morning, and on another day, all the way around Diamond head. Walked to Magic Island twice (Ala Moana). Daily walks along the beach, of course. And along the canal in the evening, in the shade of the tall buildings. Nearby is the famous and wonderful Kapi'olani Regional Park. Its tree-lined sidewalks are a great alternative to the sunny beach when your eyes and skin need a break. Oh yeah, by the end of your stay you will have figured out how to pronounce many of the nearby place names. Lili'uokalani, for example, was rolling off our tongues by the last day.

Work week in honolulu Was a working stay. Was over working with my Son. This property was ok to stay at. Main bed was comfortable the boys said the trundle beds were comfortable also. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need. Unit was pretty clean nothing that anyone could complain about. Had todo a load of laundry while there was very reasonably priced. They had plenty of tubes boogie boards to use. The things to think about is this room is on 4th floor you have to lug your luggage all the way up 4 flights of stairs. The main thing that bothered us was the lock on the door had just one screw holding on the strike plate and you really had to be careful when shutting the door cause it would turn and block so door would not lock. Door locking situation was not secure at all! Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Tuesday, April 23, 2019 We have corrected this issue, we love this review for Royal Moana.

Great location, wouldn't call it elegant. Easy booking process and very good communications throughout the trip. The condo appeared to be well taken are of, however, it felt dated. It is a little inconvenient to not be able to run the air conditioning while you are away from the unit as it takes quite a while to cool it back down. The snorkel and beach equipment that we found there was in poor condition and I was unable to find a matching set of fins for my size, ended up not using it and rented gear. We were very disappointed as this was one reason we rented this place. Overall a decent place, but would not have rented it if I would known the snorkel gear was sub-par and the boogie boards are for kids!

Location great; place needs some attention Rented on 4th floor & stall. Best thing about condo is location. Easy walk to beach, zoo, shops, etc. Condo is for 4. Only 2 kitchen chairs, 1 wooden seat. Patio doors howl constantly from wind, don't open properly. Lots of hot water. Shower small, needs shelf. Area rugs should go; can't vacuum them. Broom, mop only provided; no other cleaning stuff. 3 large spoons only, no cereal bowls. Clean on surface but thorough cleaning is needed. A/C loud; constant on/off during night. Bed not attached to headboard. Boogie boards, beach chairs available in yard. Washer, dryer $1.50 load; worked well. Cleaners, maintenance staff park in guest stalls. Served our purpose. If location is most important to you, chose Royal Moana. Photos are when place was freshly done & staged. Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Monday, March 19, 2018 Great feed back and a lot we can learn from. We can clean area rugs, and possibly add vacuums to the condos.

The refrigerator was clean. They provide a broom and dust pan for you when you have to clean up. They have all types of dishes and silverware. My rental provided us with two twin beds that pull out and a queen bed. There’s a mini walk in closet that we settled in. There’s a tv for the two twin beds and the main bed. The balcony is small but you have a view of the city around you and your about 3-5 minutes walking distances from the beach.

Clean, convenient, well-equipped unit for perfect vacation Second time staying in a unit at the small Royal Moana building. It is comfortable, just big enough and well equipped with all you need for a great time in Waikiki. The price is outstanding and you get more than you expect to get. Linens were very nice, kitchen well-equipped, good TV's for entertainment. Happily there was still a view to the mountains as no buildings had been built adjacent to the building. The street in front can get a little noisy, but not all the time. A short walk gets you to the beach or just to promenade along the ocean. By all means rent the parking here if you have a car. Management was very responsive when I reported an issue which could wait until after my stay was over. I was pleased to find this unit in perfect condition, as I had experienced several years ago while staying here in a different unit.

Great room close to the best things in Waikiki This was my first time renting a unit that wasn’t on Airbnb and I gotta say I was worried. But the price was better and the Ali’I Beach Rentals site had good reviews online so I took the risk and I’m glad I did. Everything went smooth with the booking process and the place was very nice. We arrived in Waikiki early so we emailed asking if early check in was possible and they allowed us which helped a lot. Prepaying for parking with the booking made it easier too, I came prepared. I didn’t have to talk to anyone in person because I got the instructions online. The unit is about a five minute walk from the best part of waikiki’s long beach. Also a quick walk to many restaurants. The Wi-Fi cut out a couple of times briefly but recovered quickly. This was a pretty spacious unit. The window air conditioner did a good job cooling the place down quick (instructions ask to turn off A/C when leaving the rental unit) and the two fans (1x ceiling fan & 1x room oscillating fan) also helped. Other reviews mentioned this unit is in a noisy area but with the ventilation running I didn’t hear anything. Anyway we loved the unit and the price was great. I’d go here again in a heartbeat.

Definitely middle-of-the-road My online and phone experience with Alii was quite positive. I was feeling very optimistic. Upon arrival, the unit was much smaller than it appears in photographs and I realize this is why there are no dimension in the description. The bed was quite old and uncomfortable to the point of having to sleep on the futon sleeper in the living room. The view/lanai is partially obstructed with a very low awning that blocks any view and a great deal of light. It seems entirely unfortunate because it would make the experience so much better without the obstructed view. When I offered this feedback to Alii about our discomfort with the bed they did not respond in any way. No email, phone call or any attempt to see if there was anything they could do. We also left several technical cables in the unit and no one from Alii contacted us for return. I was disappointed as I had such a positive experience with Alii prior to the arrival. I gave the review a 3 as I don't believe it's a bad place. The bed is not worth it but otherwise the unit would be fine if it were represented better in marketing. There were also unpleasant stains on the bedding which was slightly concerning. I think Alii could do better and honestly, they probably do. They just failed to respond to these things that could have made our stay better.

Good location but not very clean Positives include: - Proximity to beach: This apartment is located a convenient 2 blocks from beach. However sitting towards the Honolulu Zoo side of waikiki, it is a ~20 minute walk to central part of waikiki where all the action is and 45 minute walk to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you would like to be closer to the main restaurants and shops, you may want to choose an alternative location. -Free beach gear including snorkels, beach mats, umbrellas, boogie boards that could be borrowed at own disposal. - It's also across road from Hilton Waikiki Beach so can organise for shuttle pickups to and from that location. Negatives include: - The floor was not clean upon arrival. The recommendation is to keep shoes off indoors but we could not bear to even after wiping down the floor twice with paper towels. - Some of the furnishings including bed spread, flooring, shower were very old and rundown. - On the contrary, the kitchen facilities and sink and shelving in bathroom were very well maintained. In summary, this was a very affordable apartment in a good location. We appreciate that for the price we paid, we cannot new furnishings and interior. However, the lack of cleanliness on the floors was disappointing, given we pay a cleaning fee upon departure.

Great place to stay on a budget We loved our apartment. We were in apartment 401 and even though we were the highest level you get used to the stairs straight away. It was a good work out after all the great restaurants around. The kitchenette was really great as we ate at home a few nights to save on cash. It was only a couple of blocks to the beach and all the shops / restaurants. It was a little noisy but of course it would be as you are in the middle of the city area. It didn't bother us at all. We stayed for 9 nights and would definitely stay again. If your pretty casual with where you want to stay then this is the place. Thanks for the great time we had here. The only thing I would be fussy on is maybe the pillows on the bed as they are quite flat but I like a good pillow so each to their own really.

Adventurous travelors Everything was fantastic! The only thing that I could really complain about is the sliding glass door does not fully close. It is angled to the left and allows wind to blow through all night. We slid a couple beach towels in the door jam and that seemed to deaden the noise so we could sleep. The closet needs to have a light. It is rather dark, but not a big deal. Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Sunday, August 2, 2015 Thanks for taking the time to review!

Perfect Little Place for Waikiki My girlfriend and I spent four nights here and it was everything we needed. Nothing super fancy, but for the price and location it was perfect. Two blocks to the beach, same to the strip, close to many restaurants and amenities. One note, if you are renting a car, make sure to get a parking spot. There weren't any available when we came and it was a bit of a hassle.

Great location We had a great week staying here! We rented a car so we could explore the entire island so having a dedicated parking space was key. There are only 4 parking spaces so be sure to reserve a space in advance. The location is amazing. We walked to dinner every night and walked to Waikiki beach a few times. On our last day we wanted tho visit Haunama one more time, the condo is close enough that we got up early, went snorkeling, came back, showered, and packed all before the 10:30 checkout time. Overall, the condo was clean, but I gave 4 stars because the dishes were poorly washed and I had to wash them before I felt comfortable using them. But really that's just a minute inconvenience. The property condition matched the photos. I gave 4 stars though because the mattress was lumpy. If you're a sensitive sleeper our have back problems the bed may cause you and trouble. Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Sunday, August 2, 2015 Thanks so much for the honest review. We'll inspect the bed and pass the input on to our cleaners about the dishes. ALOHA!

Property needs some TLC This condo needs some TLC. Location is ok, 4 blocks to the beach. I can't call it elegant. Very stained bed skirt, old linens with spots that don't come off anymore after being washed, flat pillows. The divider doors have scratches and huge dents. Some moisture damage all over the shelves on the fridge doors. If you are a budget traveler then you probably expect these things. Customer service is good, you get a reply pretty fast. But please don't advertise this unit as luxurious or elegant. Only about 2 stars. By the way, view is not good, you see piles of construction materials on the field next to the building, not exactly your tropical getaway views. Nothing to do on a balcony either, very noisy street, wont be able to enjoy your morning coffee. But you get what you pay for, right? But still, condo puctures are very misleading, it doesn't look like it in reality. Won't stay here again. Response from Alii Beach Rentals ; Tuesday, September 29, 2015 To potential guests who are reading this review... we don't filter our guest reviews which means every review we see you see. We think this is important so that you know exactly what you're renting and reviews are one of the best ways for you to accomplish this. Hopefully by this point you've read enough reviews about this property to get the true sense of what the Royal Moana rentals are like. We don't advertise this condo as having a pool, deck, ice machine, or elevator and we make sure everyone who wants to rent knows the location and how far the building is from the beach. For some people the hotel experience fits them better, but if you're reading this you probably know the value of a vacation rental over a hotel room. However thanks to this guest for their input... we'll always welcome it. ALOHA!!

A Very Nice Condo Was a great place to stay for a month's getaway from the Canadian cold! This place is not fancy nor upscale. It's very close to the beach and within walking distance to a good grocery store. It is equipped with everything you need. If it doesn't have it they will get it for you if it's a reasonable request. Price is good. Around $3300 a month is an appropriate rental feeas it does not offer the amenities and scenery as other condos have. It is on a very loud noisy street...but you get use to it after a few days. The patio doors whistles if it's closed all the way and windy so the door must be kept opened at night about 1/4" to stop the annoying whistling. Not really a patio on the front. It's very small and has too much street noise to enjoy it anyways. Cleaning staff very friendly.

The sliding glass door to the patio wouldn't close all the way and would whistle if it wasn't open so we just left it open to get a breeze. Other than that it was near perfect! We lived how close it was to the beach and within walking distance to so much. We were able to just walk half a block to the ABC store to pick up anything we needed.

8 days in Royal Moana 401 We had a great trip to Honolulu. Our experience with Alii was very good and very easy. The location of the condo was perfect. We were able to walk to several events including the Maita'i snorkeling catamaran and Hilton Fireworks. It was great having the full kitchen (although the coffee maker did not work) where we ate breakfast almost every day. We were a little surprised by the window AC unit, but once we fired it up and cooled the place down, it was more than sufficient to cool the main living area (kept the windows open in the bathroom). The reserved parking was a real bonus as we came in late several times and did not have to worry about finding parking.

An upside was the screened windows gave a nice breeze through with the patio door open and the A/C was not necessary. A downside was the very high street noise, the ill-fitting patio door which gave a lot of wind noise when closed, and the noisy A/C if used with the windows closed.

We enjoyed being on the side of the beach closest to Dianmond Head because it was a few blocks away from the very busy streets and yet very close to everything like the bus route, shopping, the beach and parks to walk in. Everything you would need was in the condo. We liked the fact that there were a few spices, cooking oil, sugar and coffee supplied so you didn't have to buy everything from scratch. The condo was very clean and although the building is older, the renos are nicely done. The overall feel of the place is good. There are several major hotels just down the street so it was easy for getting picked up by shuttles because they usually stop at the bigger hotels. The only down side was that the sofa bed was a little uncomfortable and the supply of bedding for it could've been a little better but nothing serious. The gardener was very friendly and helpful which gives you a good feeling.

Cleaning staff very helpful (thanks Cyle). Would recommend.

Easy checkin. They send you all the info you need to get in. Had no issues. Bed and sofa bed was comfortable-had some great sleeps. Lots of towels. The place was clean. AC was a great sound muffler at night. You are not on the main street but early morning could get noisy with trucks driving by. Ac muffled the noise. Would stay there again. Value was great. Close to the beach and stores. We had an issue with the microwave not working, they got us a new one next morning. Can't wait to go back to Oahu.

We arrived at midnight after flight delay & luggage left behind. After traveling all day we were very tired & the entry code to the condo would not work, so had to call the maintenance manager who eventually had to give us the master code to get in. The condo was not as nice as the pictures look, shoddy remodeling job, & the housekeeping had much to be desired, stained toilet seat, old bedding, not recently washed couch cover & pillows, towels need chlorine bleach, closet & furniture dusty. After using some Lysol cleaner we were able to at least get around the rest of the shortcomings & managed to have a good time. The positive things about the place - location to Waikiki Beach & everything and the little store next door were perfect! Just wished the place was cleaner & more welcoming.

It is equipped with everything you need. If it doesn't have it they will get it for you if it's a reasonable request. Price is good. Around $3300 a month is an appropriate rental feeas it does not offer the amenities and scenery as other condos have. It is on a very loud noisy street...but you get use to it after a few days. The patio doors whistles if it's closed all the way and windy so the door must be kept opened at night about 1/4" to stop the annoying whistling. Not really a patio on the front. It's very small and has too much street noise to enjoy it anyways. Cleaning staff very friendly.

The divider doors have scratches and huge dents. Some moisture damage all over the shelves on the fridge doors. If you are a budget traveler then you probably expect these things. Customer service is good, you get a reply pretty fast. But please don't advertise this unit as luxurious or elegant. Only about 2 stars. By the way, view is not good, you see piles of construction materials on the field next to the building, not exactly your tropical getaway views. Nothing to do on a balcony either, very noisy street, wont be able to enjoy your morning coffee. But you get what you pay for, right?

There are only 4 parking spaces so be sure to reserve a space in advance. The location is amazing. We walked to dinner every night and walked to Waikiki beach a few times. On our last day we wanted tho visit Haunama one more time, the condo is close enough that we got up early, went snorkeling, came back, showered, and packed all before the 10:30 checkout time. Overall, the condo was clean, but I gave 4 stars because the dishes were poorly washed and I had to wash them before I felt comfortable using them. But really that's just a minute inconvenience. The property condition matched the photos. I gave 4 stars though because the mattress was lumpy. If you're a sensitive sleeper our have back problems the bed may cause you and trouble.

My online and phone experience with Alii was quite positive. I was feeling very optimistic.

The view/lanai is partially obstructed with a very low awning that blocks any view and a great deal of light. It seems entirely unfortunate because it would make the experience so much better without the obstructed view. When I offered this feedback to Alii about our discomfort with the bed they did not respond in any way. No email, phone call or any attempt to see if there was anything they could do. We also left several technical cables in the unit and no one from Alii contacted us for return. I was disappointed as I had such a positive experience with Alii prior to the arrival.

The property is in an ideal location, has excellent security, and has some thoughtful extras (like salt and pepper grinders and beach equipment). An upside was the screened windows gave a nice breeze through with the patio door open and the A/C was not necessary. A downside was the very high street noise, the ill-fitting patio door which gave a lot of wind noise when closed, and the noisy A/C if used with the windows closed.

We would rate the condo with a 5 thumbs up! There were 2 things that were drawbacks. The size of the "lanai" I would call it a ledge! Would have like to have had a blender, we have fruit and veggie smoothies for breakfast. Bought my own blender and brought it home, needed one anyway. Was worried about climbing the stairs at first, but then just looked at it as exercise and it got easier as time went one. Fortunately my grandson had no problem with them and was always eager to run down to the car for something. The kitchen was fully equiped, a shaper knife for carving a pineaple would have helped, but hey, no biggie. Loved the bathroom, plenty of towels. Plenty of space for putting our clothes away and stashing suitcases. The location was wonderful if you were staying In Waikiki, walking distances from anything you could possible want. I will definitely recommend to anyone interested. Will look you up again next year when we are coming to town. Mahalo and Aloha...Miss the pl

Our condo was exactly as it looks in the photos. The vacant lot adjoining the property was a disappointment since that was the view everytime we came or went up & down the stairs to our 4th floor accomodations. There were a few inconveniences: no drawers, poor quality linens, a tiny shower, and inadequate air conditioner. Street noise could get bothersome especially late at nite. Running the air helped drown out the noise. We had plenty of nice, fluffy bath towels and a couple of large beach towels. The sheets on the other hand were awful; they were so full of pill, it felt like we had sand in our bed. The drapery rod didn't work properly so we had to climb on a chair to "fix" the drapes occasionally. They are not lined so lots of light comes into the room (from street lights) which makes it hard to sleep. There was a bug problem (ants, maybe?) that was kinda gross- teeny little insects on the kitchen & bathroom counters. The greatest inconvenience was having to do without drawers of any kind. We stayed a mo

Our stay was good. Since we stayed on the top floor the stairs were a bit much. The kitchen and bathroom were very nice however the furniture, bed and drapes could use an upgrade. The manager Kai was very accomodating and always returned my calls quickly. It was a good stay.

We found damage to the unit such as drapes not pulling and part of the drapes were hanging off the rod. Mini woods were broken on the ends. Big whole in tile flooring. The furniture is very rickety and uncomfortabe. Not enough seating for 4 people comfortably and very poorly furnished. Could only watch TV from the bedroom. This unit just did not have comfortable amenities. We were in Hawaii for a month and this was the worst unit we stayed in. I would never refer this unit to another person. It certainly did not live up to the pictures on the internet.

A lot of your time is wasted filling out forms and waiting for replies from multiple vacation rental owners. Many busy owners never reply.
The price shown always changes, you have to calculate it yourself and often changes once you communicate with the owner.
Most owners do not take the time to provide complete information on listings, so you waste time having to ask questions and wait for responses.
In a nutshell, "Web Directories" are cumbersome and time consuming, and if you have a problem, you are on your own.

Charming Top Floor Royal Moana Condo by the Beach, Full kitchen, FREE Parking

ID 225818 - 1 bed (1 queen). Base rent is for 4 occupants.

Royal Moana Vacation Rentals

The Royal Moana is one of the best values in Waikiki and ranks among the highest in guest satisfaction. Now you don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability. Located at 240 Liliuokalani Ave. The Royal Moana is a few minutes walk to world class Waikiki beaches and was recently remodeled with the sole purpose of providing you a luxurious yet economical alternative to a hotel room. Ask yourself, why would I ever rent a room when I can rent a home As you can see in the amenities, we have gone to great lengths to make sure these condos are truly your home away from home.

All the Royal Maona condos have fully equipped kitchens ready to cook and eat. Feedback from our guests show that this is one of the best ways to take control of your vacation budget. Preparing meals instead of eating out three times a day can save an average of $100 a day per couple on food. This is a must for the budget minded traveler.

The sleeping arrangements are very convenient with a queen bed in the bedroom along with a full size futon sleeper couch in the living area. Leave the bedroom pocket doors open for extra space or shut them for a private bedroom.

Our staff prides themselves in the beautiful condition of this property. “Luxurious” is the best way to describe a Royal Moana condo. We spared no expense on remodeling every unit with marble floors, and granite countertops throughout. Tasteful wood furnishings were shipped straight from Indonesia. As you can see by the photos these condos are beautiful.

Ready for the beach Take advantage of the Royal Moana's complimentary beach gear. We provide snorkel sets, beach umbrellas, premium beach chairs, and full size boogie boards to make your days at the beach just that much more enjoyable. Don't get ripped off by renting these items by the hour at the beach. Stay at the Royal Moana and have it included.

Location is everything.

The Royal Moana is a VERY short walk to:

- Tons of Beaches: Waikiki Beach, Kuhio Beach, Canoes Beach, and many more.

- World Class Dining: Duke’s Restaurant, Hy’s Steakhouse, Cheescake Factory, and countless more.

- Amazing Shopping: International Marketplace, Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Coach, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and plenty more.

- Activities: Surfing, Honolulu Zoo, Night-life, Hula Shows, Waikiki Aquarium, Catamaran rides, outrigger canoe rides, and much more.

Let us show you what our increasing number of repeat guests have experienced... Value and the Aloha Spirit.

Note: Make sure everyone in your party is able to go up and down steps. It is required to get into this condo.

Note: Please let us know if you would like to have a reserved parking space added to your reservation for $15/day. This is recommended since street parking is almost impossible to find.
