Hawaii’s reputation for some of the world’s best surfing is the inspiration for our affordable Waikiki hotel, located just three blocks to Waikiki’s white sand beaches. From our weekly manager’s reception to the open air lobby with on-site spa services, we provide guests with a fun and casual Waikiki stay. The hotel has an ideal location; it is near the quiet Ala Wai but also just a short stroll to the International Market Place and excitement of central Waikiki with numerous shopping and dining options.

Halloween in Waikiki is a one of kind experience. Every year, people in the most creative costumes fill Kalakaua Avenue and it is quite a sight. Whether you dress up or not, Waikiki is a fun place to be on Halloween and this year, Halloween falls on a Saturday. That means no work the next day so why not just stay the night! Aqua has several affordable hotels on and near Kalakaua Avenue so you can come out, join in the festivities or just watch from your private balcony.
