    My family and I visited the Royal Hawaiian center for a Luau. Overall the Royal Hawaiian Center was very clean and the bathrooms were well stocked. There were a lot of good stores and the food court had places rich with Hawaiian culture. The actual Luau was not what I expected. It was not authentic. So that was a downer. Next time I will look at the tickets more before buying. Overall I would visit the Royal Hawaiian. Enter again for shopping or to eat.

    Nice mall with open space/air. We just went to the food court here, so I'd definitely recommend it if you are stuck on what/where to eat and want to see a few different options while strolling around. The location is great because everywhere you'd wanna go in the area is walking distance, so you'll definitely see a lot of people walking around.

    So many great restaurants here. It's our favorite "center" among Ala Moana , International Market Place and here. Great food court with diverse options for anyone with picky eaters AND foodies traveling together.

    Great shopping area if you've got lots of money to spend. I went for work and had time to relax on the beach, not shop. Apple store extremely busy every day. Lots of cafes, places to sit and relax. Perfect area, shopping is all within walking distance. There was even a festival happening on the weekend. Very busy! Great local foods!

    Enjoyed the evening view with shaved ice cream and pineapple drink. The view is amazing and filled with lush rainforest plants and trees. This mall has lots of luxury stores and fine dining restaurants. Kids were enjoying the most near the artificial ponds with ducks all around and evening vide is speechless. Just sit for a few mins and immerse yourself with the vibe.

    This is a very large complex spanning several floors and blocks. There are a lot of separate businesses located inside it. Disabled access is very good and there are lifts available. The floor is generally flat. The third floor is mainly restaurants and they usually have wait times so it's best to reserve in advance. The first and second floors contain mainly specialty shops including the apple store, some jewellery and clothing stores and even an ABC store. There's a food court with a lot of seating and free wi-fi on the second floor. It includes various cuisine such as Penny's Malasados, wicked Maine lobster, Panda express, Pho's Vietnamese food, a cake shop and an ice cream shop.

    They often have free entertainment, decent restrooms, and parking is super discounted with validation ($2/hr after the first hour free if you spend at least $10 for validation which isn’t hard to do). If you want to buy something delicious, Island Vintage Coffee and their separate Island Vintage Shave Ice are both top notch and delicious (plus almost anything will hit the $10 validation lol). The first time you park there just take your time though and give extra time to make sure you’re going into the right parking lot because there’s also a hotel which is separate!

    An amazing indoor but open air mall or shopping center. Great stores but not all of them are occupied. That's something we have gotten used coming off of COVID-19. It will be really nice once it's fully occupied.

    This is an excellent mall and we went to the Queen's luau inside it wow what a great show. The first experience of it I've ever had it was a little bit expensive about $140 per person but absolutely well worth the money the food was pretty good and the show was just downright excellent. Including the warm-up the show lasted a little less than 3 hours so it did not take a super long time but there was interaction with the actors and staff. If you ever thought of doing a luau in Hawaii I would highly recommend this one!

    Beautiful place to shop..! The indoor/outdoor mall shopping experience was great! A really good mixture of stores to shop and even window shop if that's your thing. This mall reminds me of the premium shopping mall experience but with an indoor outdoor feel with a tropical vibe knowing the beach coast is within yards across the main street.

    I always enjoy strolling through here but mostly because I stay in the hotel next door. It's not a mall I'd go out of my way to visit. Too many empty stores and a lot of turn over. They do have a food court for a quick bite to eat and the decorated beautifully for Christmas.

    Upscale outdoor shopping mall complex. I liked their nightly hula shows that happen every day from Tuesday-Sunday. I didn’t like the fact that there were only a few restrooms and few dining options at the food court.

    The concept of an open shopping center is really intriguing and there's nothing that I've seen like that on the east coast. Really cool place to be in and explore!

    The Royal Hawaiian Center is a bustling hub of shopping and dining in Waikiki. It's a shopper's delight with a diverse range of stores from luxury brands to local boutiques. The open-air setting with lush greenery creates a pleasant atmosphere. The center also offers a variety of dining options, making it a one-stop destination for both shopping and dining. However, it can get crowded, so timing your visit is key for an enjoyable experience.

    Tropical mall full of expensive shops with a large slightly dirty food court which doesn't sit right with Hermes and Tiffany. Pretty to walk around and quite busy.

    Loved our stay. Beautiful hotel, loved the room. Bed faced the windows which was nice! Balcony was perfect, facing the ocean. Pool and beach equipment staff were very helpful and accommodating. Loved our "little" pink hotel! Thank you!

    Wolfgang restaurant, i wasn't very pleased with, I ordered my steak it came out Cook perfectly, but very unseasoned, the food as a whole all was unseasoned. We got the lobster bisque, and it just taste like tomato soup with a piece of crab leg in it, not good. The Crab cakes was very good and the chocolate torte and cheese cake dessert was very good too, outside of that the food is very plain and not worth the price. Even the market price lobster 3.lb. dinner my wife got was a bust for $150 you have to do better then that. Look at my profile I'm a foodie, I'm telling you so you don't be me and get juke for your food. Go somewhere else

    Great shopping area with lots of fabulous food spots. Lovely park-like atmosphere in an open-air shopping center.

    Major shopping mall on Waikiki district along Kalakaua Avenue. Many brand-name stores on the ground floor, some on the second floor. There is a food court on second floor as well as the always crowded Island Vintage Coffee. Second and third floors have several restaurants.

    This is a beautiful shopping center-- with a full food court and many exclusive shops. The main thing is the beautiful architecture and greenery. I find it unbelievable how there are so many older trees and plants inside the center. Hawaiian developers have really gone out of their way to preserve the trees I the Waikiki tourist zone. :-)

    It's okay really but strange to see a high end mall at Waikiki Beach. I personally don't see the connection between an expensive jewelry/clothing store and a relaxing white sandy beach. However, the architects did a nice job and there's lots of shopping to do here...if that's why you came to Waikiki for...? That is the reason for 3 stars- nice but It's location doesn't fit with the Island's aloha atmosphere to me :(

    Love this place. There are different food over there, like Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, American food. Also you can find a table for eating in food court.

  • 5/5 Perkins B. 2 years ago on Google
    Store shopping mall and fast food court as well as the Cheesecake factory and other sit down restaurants.

    Wonderful show! Entree and dessert could have been better for the price. Impersonators were great. Michael Jackson was our favorite. Local singer Sienna was beautiful and talented.

    Second shaved ice place of the Oahu trip for me. This place ranks first on my list. The guy behind the counter is not light handed with the flavor options and you can taste it till the last bite of your shaved ice. It's definitely worth the long wait time on the long lines if this is your first shaved ice experience. Would recommend to a friend.

    Really nice place. Room was nice and clean. Staff was so helpful and nice, just amazing people working there. Loved the little coffee shop on the first floor, great coffee and delicious pastries. Would definitely come back, loved everyone that worked there, just great people.

  • 5/5 Cinde S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for shopping, eating and people watching. Nice variety of big box stores and boutiques. It does get crowded, so for nicer restaurants, reservations are highly suggested. Note, lots of tourists who like to walk around in public in close quarters to others who don't wear masks.

  • 4/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful open air concept mall, had fun making jewelry at Gem. Definitely visit if you're on the island. Tourists!!! Stay away from the makeup and beauty store in the lower lever. Do not take the free cream, you will regret it. These people are vultures. It's a high pressure sales scam for fake 'expensive 'beauty creams and Elevare "lasers' that tighten your skin. Do not go for the free facial- it's nothing but a sales pitch . I barely made it out alive and with my wallet intact.
