Aqua Waikiki Pearl debuts with an impressive renovation

Over the last few years, I’ve witnessed several amazing hotel transformations at Aqua: Aqua Coconut Plaza to Coconut Waikiki hotel, the renovation at Aqua Bamboo & Spa, Hawaii Polo Inn to The Equus, Coral Reef Hotel to Aqua Waikiki Wave…

Yesterday Aqua Honolulu Prince changed its name to Aqua Waikiki Pearl and joined the Aqua Boutique Collection. All I can say about the facelift over there is “WHOA!” In fact, I believe that’s a direct quote from when I was shown the new rooms a few weeks ago by Aqua Waikiki Pearl’ Sales Manager, Evelyn. See for yourself*:

Stay tuned for a great introductory special at Aqua Waikiki Pearl for travel through 2009. Details coming on Tuesday, January 5!

*No smoke and mirrors here: with the exception of the “Before” Exterior shot, these photos were taken by Aqua employees with our own cameras. All the “After” shots were taken by Justin, with his own (decent but still-not-professional-quality) camera and he only used the existing lighting .
