Weekend with me at The Ritz-Carlton Residences - Waikiki Beach
Staycation at The Ritz-Carlton Residences - Waikiki Beach
Over the weekend my family and I packed our bags for a staycation at The Ritz-Carlton Residences - Waikiki Beach. We checked into their Grand Oceanview 3-bedroom, 3-bath suite with dining room, full-sized kitchen and family room. To say it was stunning is an under-statement. This suite was beyond gorgeous and the views were AMAZING! Since I am single, I invited my parents, my sister, brother-in-law, my niece (3-years old) and my nephew (10 months). So that’s 5 adults and 2 children who fit comfortably in this spectacular suite.

pool time at the cabanas
My family and I rented a family cabana from 9AM - 4PM (separate rate). My niece and nephew had so much fun playing in the infinity family pool and going down the slide. We then enjoyed lunch in our shaded cabana.
There also is an adult only infinity pool.
Special mahalo to Jamal in concierge, Robyn and her pool attendant team for the fabulous service!
dinner time at Quiora
Overlooking the vibrant streets of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean, Quiora brings its own perspective to Italian cuisine in a relaxed, open-air dining experience.
This is not the first time I’ve visited Quiora and definitely will not be my last. It was my family’s first time and they loved it! The service is truly exceptional.

other dining options

I’ve dined at Sushi Sho, numerous times. Led by highly respected chef Keiji Nakazawa, makes its US debut at this Waikiki Beach resort. An impressive sushi counter and sake selection round out the offerings.
LA VIE
La Vie features modern French cuisine in 3- and 5-course menu selections that can be enjoyed with French wine pairings by the glass and the finest bottles from new and old-world vineyards.
DEAN & DELUCA
Hawaii’s debut outlet of Dean & DeLuca features a restaurant-quality market with gourmet foods to enjoy onsite or in residence. A second-floor wine bar overlooks Honolulu’s famous Waikiki Beach.
ritz-carlton spa
We did not have time to checkout the spa, but when you visit, make sure to!
The open, warm spirit of native Hawaiians is something lived rather than learned, but visitors of The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Waikiki Beach walk away from their experience with a better understanding. Using native elements, including volcanic stones, rainforest leaves, lehua blossoms and lomilomi massage techniques, treatments seek to both heal and revive. The spa features four treatment rooms, including one for couples, and a relaxation lounge just above the bustling streets of world-renowned Waikiki.
