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.
We used them for several activities during our stay at the Royal Hawaiian. They are super friendly and the surf lesson was amazing.
