The beach services team at the Royal Hawaiian consistently delivers exceptional experiences that keep visitors coming back year after year. Staff members like Miwa, Russell, Darryn, and Keola earn regular praise for their attentiveness and genuine care. Multiple reviewers highlight how team members go above and beyond, from moving bags away from incoming tides to coordinating complex group bookings with patience and detailed communication. Canoe surfing stands out as a particularly popular activity, with guides creating memorable experiences that often become trip highlights. Private surf lessons also get enthusiastic recommendations, with instructors demonstrating real skill in getting beginners up on boards quickly. The umbrella and lounge chair rentals ($99 for a full day) provide comfortable home bases, and staff actively patrol to prevent unauthorized use while you're away. The personal touch really shines through, with returning guests noting that staff remember them from previous visits and provide that rare first-class service that makes a Hawaiian vacation feel special.
Awesome place to get a board! Great people, can’t say enough about the Positive Vibes here, rented a board many times here. They store your things away safely, so you don’t have to worry about it getting stolen on the beach. Great place to get a surf board, and go surfing yourself - they have many different kinds of boards; or get a lesson from professional Surfing Instructors! Great crew, I always have an amazing time, can pay with card, cash, or Phone pay. Maki, Darren, Puna, Chuck, Koa, Adriana, MacKayla - and the rest of the crew are all amazing people there. Always 5 star service, rashguard/towels given to you. It’s located conveniently at the Royal Hawaiian hotel pool, with a shower right next to it, right by the water. What else more could you want!! Thank you Waikiki Beach Services for always having my back and providing phenomenal service! Do yourself a favor and come rent a board, or get a surf lesson here, I am a very many times repeat customer. Me and my work colleagues always get treated with respect here and friendly vibes. They also do beach chair/umbrella rentals, canoe lessons! 5 of 5 stars!!!🌟 every time…
