During our stay at the Waikiki resort hotel, we received complimentary breakfast coupons. These were only for dine-in, with no take-out option for hotel guests. The hot dishes were all tasty and enjoyable, and gratuity was already included in the breakfast ticket, so there were no additional costs. The staff were all friendly and had smiles on their faces.

The breakfast at this restaurant is extremely affordable and delicious. As a hotel guest, you can enjoy a large meal for only $6-$8.

This café located inside Waikiki Resort is simple, unpretentious, and straightforward. They offer a limited menu, but provide quick and friendly service and delicious food. It's hard to believe that such a hidden gem exists just one hundred yards from the beautiful sands of Waikiki Beach.

Foods are really good. Ditch the free continental breakfast. Food cost 6~8 dollar for hotel guests.

This place is heavily underrated. They may not have a large selection of breakfast items, but enough to satisfy your test. The best part is quick, friendly and absolutely delicious. No inflated prices and ridiculous 40-60 mins wait that seems to be the norm around here.
