The bathroom is included as part of the guestroom, giving you the essentials you need before heading out to the beach, dining venues or spa. Your stay at Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa is not an all-inclusive experience, so meals, drinks and many services are arranged separately.

Historic Banyan Ocean View FAQs
What does the view actually look like from the Historic Banyan Ocean View room?
You’re looking out toward the Pacific from the resort’s original 1901 wing, with Waikiki Beach and the ocean visible beyond the historic Banyan Court. It’s a softer, more intimate view than the tower rooms, framed by the age and character of the building itself rather than floor-to-ceiling glass.
How are the beds set up and who is this room really best for?
The room has one king bed sleeping up to two guests, making it best suited to couples or solo travelers who want a classic, character-filled base rather than extra floor space. Given its 210 sq. ft. footprint, it isn’t designed for families or groups needing multiple beds.
Does the Historic Banyan Ocean View room have a balcony or lanai?
This category is defined by its ocean view rather than a private balcony, since the historic Banyan Wing keeps its original architecture from 1901. Guests trade outdoor lanai space for proximity to the beach, the Banyan Court, and The Beach Bar just below.
How big is the room and what's the layout like inside?
At 210 sq. ft., the layout is compact and efficient, centered entirely on the king bed with just enough space for a small seating nook. It suits guests who plan to spend their days at the beach, pool, or spa rather than lounging in the room.
What's included when you book this room category?
Your stay includes complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, access to the guest-only pool and fitness center, and entry to Moana Lani Spa. The resort itself isn’t all-inclusive, so dining and spa treatments are booked separately, but with six on-site venues there’s plenty of choice.
How does this room compare to other categories at Moana Surfrider?
The Historic Banyan Ocean View is one of the resort’s most compact and traditional categories, prioritizing 1901 architectural character over square footage. Guests wanting more space or a fully modern feel might look toward the renovated Tower Wing rooms, while this category suits those drawn to the hotel’s original charm.
How far is this room from the beach, pool and restaurants?
Being in the historic Banyan Wing, you’re only steps from the 600 feet of oceanfront shoreline and the resort’s pool, which is open daily from 7 am to 6 pm. Dining options like The Veranda, Beachhouse at the Moana, and The Beach Bar are all within an easy walk downstairs.
Is the Banyan Wing a quiet part of the resort?
The Banyan Wing sits around the historic Banyan Court, which hosts cultural programming and live music at The Beach Bar nearby, so evenings can bring some ambient sound from the courtyard. It’s generally calmer than rooms directly above the pool deck, while still being close to the action.
What should guests know about this room that isn't obvious at first glance?
Because it’s part of the original 1901 hotel structure, the room’s charm comes from its history and intimate scale rather than modern conveniences like room service, which isn’t offered here. Guests who value character, an unbeatable oceanfront location, and easy access to the resort’s dining and spa tend to enjoy this category most.
