THE FRONT DESK REPS WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL, CHECK IN WAS QUICK AND MADE ME FEEL WELCOME. I CALLED THE FRONT DESK AND TOLD THEM, THE A\\C WASN'T COOLING THE ROOM. THEY HAD A BRAND NEW UNIT INSTALLED IN 30 MINUTES, THAT WORKED PERFECT. HOWEVER, THE POOL AREA WAS SOMEWHAT AFFECTED - REPAIR TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOTEL..... AS AQUA RESORTS ADVERTISE - ISLAND COLONY IS A MID-LEVEL HOTEL - AND I MUST ADD ISLAND COLONY IS A VERY GOOD MID-LEVEL HOTEL.......
Checking in, we were asked for our drivers licenses (looking at our ids for reservation verification, I can understand). However, the desk person takes them into the back room and makes a copy of all of them. Comes back out and when asked why he made a copy, he explains that it is part of hotel?s policy. Then when told we did not want the ids copied because of our identity theft concerns, he said, "oh, I only made a copy of one id." As this is a first for me, we asked to speak to the manager. The assistant manager comes out holding a copy of the six ids in our group (the employee flat out lied to our face about how many ids were copied). When asked about the policy, the assistant manager cannot explain or give any valid reason why the hotel would need a copy. Despite the above, the rooms are very outdated and are disgusting in most respects. If you like sleeping on a rock hard bed, this is probably the hotel for you. However, if itchiness of the sheets and the feely that bugs are crawling on you is not for you, then I would pass on this hotel. The bathroom is just as bad because it was dirty. The floor was dirty with mold in the corners, the shower was unclean and you felt like you should wear shower shoes. Also, the A/C was not sufficient to cool the room and had black stuff coming from its vent. The bottom of the closet door had water damage. All and all, the room felt very unclean. We tried to spend the least amount of time possible in this hotel. No rating should be above a 1 out of 5 here.
Read the reveiws before I went so wasn't sure what I would get. Disagree with anything about bugs, never saw any while I was there. Very nice room and very good amenities, tub was good size, since one of my friends needs a tub to take a bath rather than a shower. Only bad thing was the pool was down due to constuction but we were in Hawaii so ocean is a better choice anyway! Will stay there again without question.
We were pleasantly surprised because during our previous stay we stood at the Marine Surf and our daughter stood here with her school, which we were unaware of until we arrived.We were very pleased with our stay, we had 3 rooms: Ours, the girls and the boys --the girls had a suite which worked out great! We bought groceries and their room was the family meeting room, which we all gathered for the daily activity schedule we had planned! The rooms were clean and the hospitality staff --front desk, night security, cleaning staff were all extremely friendly! The proximity of the beach was great!! We walked to almost everything because everything was so local!! We rented a van and only used it to go to the north & west side of the island. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and we plan to go back in a couple of years, our kids are looking forward to a return trip!!It was great!!!
We stayed here one night and felt it was good value. Room was very clean. Staff was helpful. Big pool. Aqua provides a useful coupon book that saved us money on meals and attractions (e.g., zoo, aquarium). If you are interested in being close to the center of Waikiki and are willing to walk 5-10 minutes to the beach, then Island would be a good choice.
The Island Colony is very conveniently located to many areas in Waikiki. Rooms are very clean. Front desk is very helpful. They offer a reduced rate for parking your car. Excellent pool area. I would recommend it to my friends. I'm going back there again in December.

needs improvement by James A. at InsiderPages
The hotel lobby is luxurious, but rooms need to be remodeled. Front desk people are very nice. Very convenient location. Easy access to Waikiki...
