POTENTIAL FOR NOISE

The "Kapahulu Groin," also commonly called the "Waikiki Wall," is a concrete pier extending into the ocean at the end of Kapahulu Avenue in Waikiki, Hawaii.

It's a popular spot for sunset views, photography, and walking along the pier, with the wall creating a protected area of shallow water on one side, often considered good for children.
The Waikiki Wall is just 50 yards from the lobby of the
Waikiki Grand Hotel®

Situated on the south shore of Oahu, Waikiki is one of the most iconic destinations in Honolulu.
Although Waikiki is widely known as a tourist hotspot, the neighborhood also draws residents seeking a vibrant beachfront lifestyle within close reach of Downtown Honolulu and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, in addition to numerous service workers and tourism industry professionals.

Host was attentive, quick to answer questions. Great spot near beach!
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
While the room did not look like the photos, it was good for a great price. All the amenities are as advertised. The pool was too cold to enjoy but it was clean. The view is fantastic and the walk to the beach is easy. It is Waikiki so busy and lots of people constantly. That’s positive or negative depending on the person. My room was on the second floor and the sound couldn’t be heard. There were little things off built overall I highly recommend it for someone like me who like small and quiet spaces with beautiful views.

6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
Location couldn't be beat and the staff was amazing. The room however does not match the photos. It was a decent place to sleep, which is the important part, but could easily be made better with little to no money. We went the whole time with no overhead light because the host couldn't be bothered to address the missing remote to the light. For a small amount, you could've gotten a decent looking toilet seat and a full length mirror on the wall. Also, I'm sure it would be easy to implement something to catch the dripping water from the air conditioner on the floor above to keep it from sounding like bombs hitting the unit in this room all night long every time their air turned on. Also the latch on the door didn't work which doesn't do much to make guests feel secure. I could say more, but these were the biggest issues and overall it was a decent place to stay if you're not planning to spend much time in the room. We really appreciated the beach supplies (only used the towels though) the bar down the hall, and the proximity to the beach. The ear plugs were a great touch! For the price, we would stay here again.
