The Terrace
About
Tropical Flavors Above the Waikiki Bustle
Perched overlooking the iconic shoreline of Honolulu, The Terrace serves as a breezy escape from the sidewalk heat. The space trades heavy walls for panoramic views, allowing the trade winds to carry the faint, salty mist of the Pacific directly to your table. It is the kind of spot where the ambient soundtrack is a mix of clinking glassware and the distant, rhythmic crash of waves against the reef.
The menu highlights local Hawaiian agriculture, leaning heavily into fresh, line-caught fish and seasonal tropical fruits. Diners typically gravitate toward the signature seared ahi, which arrives with a vibrant crust of toasted sesame and a side of locally sourced hearts of palm. The kitchen maintains a philosophy of simplicity—letting the quality of the islands' bounty do the heavy lifting rather than masking it with excessive sauces.
Expect a relaxed, elevated atmosphere that feels tailor-made for golden hour. As the sun dips below the horizon, the lighting shifts to a soft, amber glow, perfect for those lingering conversations that drift well into the evening. Keep in mind that the open-air layout means you might occasionally compete with the spirited energy of the Waikiki tourist crowds, but the trade-off is a front-row seat to one of the most famous sunsets in the world. Whether you are seeking a refined dinner or a post-surf cocktail, the terrace offers an authentic taste of Honolulu living without pretense.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect, literally everything is in walking distance from the hotel. House cleaning is performed every other day . The bathrooms are outdated. If you plan to spend time in the city vs the room, this hotel is perfect for you!

The pictures on the website exactly represent what you’re gonna see when you get there which is not always the case. I mean, even down to the artwork in the rooms. The rooms are nice. The elevators are fast and efficient. The pool and hot …

The resort itself was great. The beds were hard, the pillows flat, and our dryer didn't dry our clothes which we didn't find out until midnight the day we left because we had been enjoying Maui and not babysitting the dryer. They were kind …

Manny at the front desk provided great service while we visited. Not a resort. Our booking method had the resort fee waived. More like a no frills hotel room. 4* is the price-adjusted rating. Pros: Complementary beach towels. Air conditioner works very well. Plenty of warm and hot water. Water refill station near the front desk provides great water. Mini-fridge in the room. Con: bathroom lacked a fan.

I had such an amazing time staying at Waikiki Malia. The location is absolutely perfect because it is super close to all the cool shops and a very short walk down to the beach. My room was really clean and cozy, and having a private balcony was awesome for chilling out at night. The pool area was a lot of fun to splash around in, and the staff were incredibly nice and always smiled when I walked by. I would definitely come back here again with my family.

I am beyond disappointed and utterly shocked by the treatment I received at this establishment. Historically, every single interaction I have ever had with Japanese individuals in the service industry has been defined by excellence, incredible politeness, and the highest standard of customer service. Because of this, my expectations were completely shattered by the appalling behavior of the staff here. The primary issue started right at the front desk. The older Japanese gentleman working there possesses what is hands-down the worst customer service attitude I have ever encountered in my life. He was dismissive, cold, and entirely unhelpful from the moment we crossed paths. To make matters significantly worse, upon entering the assigned room, we were hit with an overpowering, unacceptable stench. The room absolutely stunk, making it impossible to feel comfortable or get any decent rest. When I immediately went back to the front desk to politely report the issue and request a room change, the situation deteriorated even further. Instead of apologizing for the subpar, smelly room and facilitating a quick room swap—which is standard procedure at any respectable establishment—the request was flatly and rudely denied. To add insult to injury, they actually had the audacity to demand *extra* money just to move us to a clean, odor-free room. They wanted to penalize me financially for their own failure to maintain proper hygiene standards. This is an absolute scam and a complete disgrace to hospitality. I have never felt so ripped off, disrespected, and ignored as a paying guest. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want a foul-smelling room and front desk staff that treat you like an inconvenience rather than a customer.

I had such a wonderful stay here and truly felt taken care of from start to finish. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, but what really stood out was how kind and thoughtful the staff were. I stayed during my birthday, and they surprised me with a special cookie flower arrangement that completely made my day. That level of detail and genuine hospitality is rare. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place that feels welcoming, thoughtful, and truly special.
