My stay at Castle Waikiki Shore had its ups and downs. I loved the very nice ocean views from my private balcony – it was a highlight for sure! However, I faced some issues with the room not matching my expectations, and I encountered some cleanliness problems as well. The prime location made it easy to explore nearby shopping and dining, but the inconsistencies in service and room quality could be improved.

My stay at Castle Waikiki Shore was a wonderful experience, highlighted by the very nice ocean views from my large lanai and the prime location right next to the beach. However, there were some challenges due to only having one working elevator, which often resulted in long waits. Overall, the spaciousness of my suite and the helpful staff made for a nice stay despite a couple of minor inconveniences.
