Waikiki Shopping Plaza

Hawaii's Plantation "wage slaves" from the African Continent. Leighton brought them back on a ship and collared them with minimum wage, better than eating bananas , now they eat at McDonald's.

Big step up for those who find shelter in the big man's plantation, with no education, just muscle that wont pay a mortgage. Wage slave with a badge in a blue shirt made in china.

Must be moving up in the world for the security guards at Waikiki Shopping Plaza - a dive and a ripoff for retail merchants. !

Leighton Mau, owner of Waikiki Shopping Plaza which he inherited on the backs of his parents astute business sense, is the President of that Building. Supposedly he went on an african safari, liked what he saw on Safari, and hired the best look alike for his security personnel at Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

What do they say about trust fund babies - lots of money,but not a lot of ....... I would like to fill in the blanks with words like TASTE, CLASS, SOPHISTICATION, CULTURE, COURTESY,. Instead the words most appropriate for the management of Waikiki Shopping Plaza and its personnel are: ARROGANT, DISTASTEFUL, PLANTATION MINDSET, OLD SCHOOL, NOT Politically Correct, my way or the highway or Just plan isolated and dumb when compared to the rest of the world.

Having High end Retail stores does not make Waikiki Waikiki Shopping Plaza , a high end place. Just ask the folks that are glad that Sky Waikiki and Top of Waikiki is no longer a fixture - Just ugly Concrete with no taste and class.

Waikiki shopping Plaza needs to get the exterminators in to get rid of the rats scurrying around !! Shame on the property managers Arlene Dezellum and staff.

Get the job done!

Its bad enough the retail spaces are tight with poor circulation for Covid-19. It is terrible when rats scurry around faster than security can keep the homeless out !!!

Place is a cemetery. Dead traffic, lifeless retail.

These poor retailers were sold a bill of goods by the property managers of waikiki shopping plaza. Empty shell with zombie bodyguards in cheap clothes and dumb looks.

Dont they do a background check on these security personnel? They look like they are moonlighting after their shift at Halawa Correctional Facility!!

Security at Waikiki Shopping Plaza are dogs. If we catch them without a mask we will call the cops on them.

Useless high school graduates with small minds and small bald heads. Playing with Covid-19 fire if you go into Waikiki Shopping Plaza's retail shops or restaurants. Mall ecurity on the mainland are so much better trained and customer friendly. Not going to this "Shopping Plaza in Waikiki " again .

Prefer the Royal Hawaiian . Security there looks cleaner.

Hope they laid off all the bald headed high school dropouts that they hired as security. Place smells and Covid-19 has hit Sky Waikiki and the shopping Plaza - small elevators, tight retail spaces, place smells - though the japanese restaurants are closed. Stay away from Waikiki Shopping Plaza - for a healthy life!

Bizarre environment and shopping center. Shopping for souvenirs and this Place smells like dead fish!!

Right on Kalakaua, waikiki shopping plaza just reeks. Stake fish with with your Frappuccino?? Obnoxious, ill mannered security...where do they find these guys? Did security guards at Waikiki Shopping Plaza on Kalakaua just escaped from prison or did they just get fired by the warden?

Check out the complaints before you set up your retail shop here.

Whew! Stink!

Waikiki shopping Plaza has an unsavory smell that floats up to the retail shopping level. Makes for a nasty shopping experience at waikiki shopping plaza.

That and the arrogant property managers and the uneducated bald high school graduates in keystone cop blue uniforms and bouncers at Skye Waikiki makes this a disjointed distasteful shopping experience. Sephora and boiled fish heads don’t go together.

Neither do the “la cool” security that are ill mannered and rude. Waikiki shopping plaza is a retail disaster, but perfect for Expedia and tour companies.

Waikiki Shopping Plaza on Kalakaua in Waikiki has a foul smell from those restaurants downstairs in the evening. Owners may someday wake up and do something about how WIkiki Shopping Plaza stinks up the Seaside and Kalakaua intersection.

Or get rid of those bald mongrel security guards at the same time in those prison guard blue uniforms. Shopping Plaza is a joke, total trap for unsuspecting Japanese tourists.

Bad food foul environment lousy service rude security and a terrible Skyy night club at top of Waikiki. Just follow the fish smell,,, belch!!!

Foul smelling place, no matter how they dress up SKYY Waikiki and the revolving restaurant on Kalakaua, the stench from bad food at Waikiki Shopping Plaza will greet you when you show up. Thats aside from the Keystone Cop security guys in bad suits at SKYY or the blue uniform tin badges that cant qualify for the police academy barking at people like they are guarding diamonds.

Feel bad for the merchants at Waikiki Shopping Plaza, the stench, the anti-social behavior of the security, the oblivious property managers and with royal Hawaiian Shopping Center right across the street, best to move along and take a pass of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Sephora must be having a fit, nothing like great make-up and the stench of fish following you around.

We understand from the locals that Skyy waikiki is owned by the same people as Waikiki Shopping Plaza. We had a pleasant experience at Skyy for happy hour.

Our observations and personal experience of Waikiki Shopping Plaza, was extremely unpleasant. Language issues with the shop owners or retail clerks. A security guy in a blue uniform kept looking at us with his head slanted like we were ruffians because we were having a good laugh. We walked a long Way from the Hilton Village to Waikiki shopping Plaza and truly believe the employees there have lost Hawaii’s famous ALOHA spirit.

The bald security guy was there again on Friday evening at Skyy, with a cheap suit and an an arrogant attitude, that reflects his occupation as a bouncer and station in life. One of the Yanks we were with said that bald security guy is famous in waikiki for being both an “Uncle Tom” and an “Uncle *** The security at Waikiki Shopping Plaza has a serious attitude and could use some manners, Is this what is known as an overseer mentality from the plantation days of old Hawaii?? That bald security guy and his equally poorly dressed minions, with the cheap suit or a blue shirt and a $2 tin badge, has the plantation overseer attitude down, with his head cocked to one side and walking around like he owns the place ( NOT ! ) ...versus an hourly job with a dead end future.???

The owners of the establishment could well do to train his employees to reflect their station in life. Paying customers for Skyy and Waikiki Shopping Plaza deserve a better experience than we experienced from the attitude, guard dog mentality, an service that lets face it..is an hourly job for uneducated people with few prospects for advancement. America is a great place, just not the best shopping and coffee experience at Waikiki Shopping Plaza with untrained and uneducated staff worthy of a finer establishment.

Shame on the owners. Waikiki Shopping plaza with language, security guard attitude, and smell of old food is not worth the time , even to stop to browse or coffee.

Sky Waikiki - Revolving Bar and Restaurant. Same owners as Waikiki Shopping Plaza and management with attitude, clients at SKYY Waikiki -revolving bar are known as " trying a little too hard to be seen as hip" - wannabe's from a different century.

Los Angeles is Cool, Sydney is cool - Sky bar in waikiki ?

Flip flop casual with a cheap suit on uneducated staff and security. Did these security guys really buy their suits at men's warhorse or salvation Army???

For Shame on the Mau Family that owns Waikiki Shopping Plaza for perpetuating an "island plantation " mentality by hiring those "Uncle tom" security personnel for both those building. Typical of Hawaii and its "plantation mentality" roots - these "Uncle Tom's" as security and their masters still walk around like they "DA Boss Man".

Everything you hear about Hawaii, its low wages, lack of educated work force, menial jobs, and a top down system is on full and ugly display with the way the building owners manage the retail properties here. Low traffic and the retailers are tied into leases they cant get out of.

What a disgrace and typical of the Hawaii Asset=based mindset while they stare at Google and Apple's stock in shock. Hawaii is seriously a 3rd world country in the USA !

You all are wasting your time complaining about Waikiki Shopping Plaza, its property managers or employees. Its Hawaii, the state still lost in the 20th century.

No merit necessary fopr promotion, just inherit the land or buildings that their parents build decades ago, hire a property manager and the owners spend time chasing tourists or locals. Building matter more than people. Its that kind of a shallow place. Hawaii was never built on intellectual capital and human talent.

Its all about land, and the corruption of officials and the dominance of Unions and state employees. Gotta be dumber than volcano ash to move here or live here.

AVOID this place - shops are closed, dark and gloomy atmosphere. Place at least smells better now that the Japanese restaurants are closed Feel bad for the retail merchants renting there - low foot traffic, reduced capacity - love the Royal Hawaiian - outdoors and breezy.

Place has the energy of a Morgue and smells like Dead Fish. Tiny retail shops that are struggling to survive with this COVID-19 Pandemic. No Thanks, healthier outdoor shopping malls elsewhere in Waikiki.

Small retail stores - feel bad for the owners that rented their locations from Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Tight and cramped stores are covid019 breeding grounds, with new mandates from City and county of Honolulu - tough to make it.

Get out of that Waikiki Shopping Plaza Lease....recovery will take more than 3 years. Until tourists fly - Kalakaua is a ghost town full of past illusions. Get out of Waikiki Shopping Plaza!

Why do you think the owners of Waikiki Shopping Plaza had Skyy closed ?? Save your cash

The owners of Waikiki Shopping Plaza must be horribly ashamed of themselves or skins thicker than cowhide!! to employ such rude employees is a joke !!

Only in Hawaii because of location , location, location?

Disgusting leadership, pretentious Skye Waikiki, and a very inauthentic ALOHA experience. Get some employee training on etiquette for Skye Waikiki and those bulldogs you hired that wear blue shirt security guards and cheap suits at night as bouncers for Skye Waikiki...really...TASTELESS CLASSLESS

Smart Locals dont visit Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Mostly for Japanese visitors or that noodle place downstairs that smell like fish.

High Rent low traffic. Retailer nightmare. Luck you only visiting or parking, otherwise you may think bad and rude service is the norm.

Not true. Bad service only at Waikiki Shopping Plaza and language challenged retailers.

Facebook reviews on Waikiki Shopping Plaza are fakes - those who post likely didnt even shop there. IF so, what did they buy?

IF they did buy - why in the world would they buy at Waikiki Shopping Plaza?

Much better quality and prices at Duke's Lane, Royal Hawaiian or Ala Moana Shopping Center. Please vote with your feet.

Better coffee than Starbucks at Waikiki Shopping Plaza across the street at Island Cafe, better service and there is no sulking security guard in a blue shirt staring at you when you are having too much fun?

The tall bald security guard there is guarding a tomb of the "Unknown Shopper" at Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Stabbings and thieves lurk around Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

Waikiki Shopping Plaza is a graveyard compared to Royal Hawaiian Shopping Plaza or Ala Moana.

Beware of the streets that are around Waikiki Shopping Plaza such as Royal Hawaiian, Seaside. There have been a lot of stabbings in Waikiki in October 2017, no need to be around that area or for that matter anywhere near Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

Security at Waikiki Shopping Plaza is useless as you can tell with the stabbings, search online for details. Security are more interest in that lousy Skyy Bar at Waikki Business and Shopping Plaza.

Looks like local residents have experienced the unpleasant demeanor and attitude at "Waikiki Shopping Plaza". They have a "spend money at Waikiki Shopping Plaza - Customers exist for out Tenants attitude" - classic Plantation Mentality they call that on the islands.

I went to graduate school at UH-Manoa in social studies, and Waikiki Shopping Plaza has NO ALOHA at all!! Tourists from Australia and Europe - stay away from Waikiki Shopping Plaza, visit Ala Moana Shopping Center instead for a better experience.
