The Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki is a family-friendly hotel one block from Waikiki. Although not one of the flashier hotels in the area, the Ocean Resort Hotel is priced right for families and offers some rooms with kitchenettes. The hotel lobby is peppered with orchids and other tropical flowers, with charmingly retro exposed bulb lighting. There’s plenty of room to relax in wood-framed loveseats, upholstered in dark tropical prints. Drop into the Ocean Seafood and Steakhouse for a little surf and turf before heading out for the evening. The Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki’s guest rooms are surprisingly cute. Blonde headboards and furniture and peppy bedspreads create an energetic color palette. Rooms with round dining tables (such as the deluxe studios and suites) are especially inviting; the ocean view studio suite has a relaxed vibe, thanks to its eclectic mix of surfer chic bedspread and Italianate glass-topped tables.
