  • The Ritz Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach

    The Ritz Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach

    Aloha everyone ! I am back with another great post for you guys. This past May my husband and I  celebrated our  5th engagement anniversary , so he surprised me with a trip to Honolulu. We have been to Hawaii before to the Island of Maui , you can read more about that trip by clicking here. Hawaii is absolutely gorgeous and I never get tired of it but each Island has its own unique places and experiences as well. You can read more about our whole trip and the places we went to by clicking here (coming soon).

    So , we had the pleasure of staying at the gorgeous Ritz Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach. As soon as we arrived the staff came to welcome us and presented us with fresh Lei flowers.Then they collected our luggage and took us to the lobby. The lobby has a gorgeous view of the ocean and downtown Waikiki. They presented us with a fresh drink while they signed us in for our room. The hotel was very clean and tidy , and the staff was just amazing. With such an amazing and friendly staff , your stay becomes even more extraordinary.

    Once we got to our room , a small gift awaited us with a card signed by the staff wishing us happy anniversary. We were very grateful for that. The room was great , we had a deluxe suite with an ocean view. So, one little thing that we were really hoping for was a room with a view of the diamond head, unfortunately that view is only available from a two bedroom suite or its one of the residential rooms one of the above. Thats really a bummer because we later checked out that hotel such as Westin have great diamond head views available for on but anyways. A lot of other things made up for that such as the great room with unique features and what could top the great staff.

    Our deluxe suite had a full kitchen with coffee machines , dishwasher , washer & dryer , blender , cutlery , pots and pans etc basically everything you need to feel right at home. Great open room and bathroom equipped with large mirrors, shower, bath tubs and Toto Washlet toilets which is a toilet with unique features you can use with a remote, you can adjust the seat’s temperature up or down, you can turn on water to wash your bottom rear or front even a dryer to dry your bottom.

    Also, there is a free Waikiki Fireworks show every Friday night. The fireworks are done each Friday evening by the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the show usually begins at 7:45pm and lasts about ten minutes. When we were there the fireworks show didn’t happen on Friday because of the rainy weather which is why the fireworks took place on Saturday evening instead. So if you are near Waikiki beach be sure to keep the fireworks in mind. The Ritz Carlton balcony offered us a splendid view of the fireworks right from our room.

    I hope if Ritz-Carlton Waikiki was on your list , this article made it easier for you to choose and answered any questions you might have had regarding Ritz Carlton Waikiki. Don’t forget to share and like.
