Booking is through Luxorts but everything you will need is done through Royal Garden Resort. My overall experience was perfect for my short getaway!
Location:
Royal Garden Resort isn’t hard to find at all. It’s also a 15 minute walk to Waikiki, which made it so much easier to just take a walk and not use the car and fight for parking.
Parking:
Side street parking can be a hit or miss and you’ll need to pay the parking meter if you decide to go that route. However, after 10pm-7am on weekdays, parking is free. Weekends are also free with no time restrictions. I did vallet parking for $35 a night (it was much easier). Vallet service is 24hrs so you can come and go as you please without worry.
Hotel:
All staff who greeted me was super friendly and nice! Checkin was a total breeze and the receptionist was the sweetest and most friendliest person. She made sure I was all set for my stay.
The room was just perfect! I was mainly sold on the king sized bed. I was really wanting a good and comfortable vacation. It did not disappoint. The room size was a perfect size with a kitchenette, big closet and bathroom. My view from the balcony was also great and faced the sunset in the afternoon. AC worked perfectly well too!
A HUGE bonus for me (and for anyone who loves to sleep) was the blackout curtains! The curtains definitely kept the room dark enough to sleep without the daylight beaming in your face. Absolutely loved the curtains! Haha!
Be mindful that if you’re a light sleeper, you will hear people walking down the hallway. It wasn’t a big issue for me cause most of the time it was really quiet. Plus the white noise from the AC unit helped block out the sound.
Lastly. I was able to request a late checkout and was granted a longer stay before packing up. I got the rest I needed before heading home. Especially after a long weekend of activities.
Other than that, my stay overall was great and loved it! I will definitely book again!
