Trump International Hotel Waikiki is an ocean-view luxury property located a nine-minute walk from world famous Waikiki Beach. The 350 apartment-style units have bright, earth-toned interiors, high-end kitchens (or kitchenettes), and private balconies (some with ocean views). There are some major downsides. Namely, the outdoor pool is stylish but small, restaurants are expensive, and many of the ocean views are obstructed. Three restaurants get mostly positive reviews and serve seafood, international cuisine, and steaks. Hotel amenities include a 24-hour gym, small spa, valet parking for a fee, and free Wi-Fi that's painfully slow. Families should note that strollers are free to borrow and free beach bags come with fruit, towels, and water. For a sleek oceanfront stay with multiple pools and free kayaks to use, the Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina is an excellent luxury alternative -- but rates are higher.
