Cozy 1BR with Great Ocean Views - 3 Mins to Waikiki Beach!

This unit was fantastic - the views were amazing, as you expect from the photos. The large lanai complete with 4 person dining table was a highlight. We ate there anytime we ate in, and that was often. 3 min walk to central Waikiki Beach area from reception. The rooftop pool and pool area were also highlights. Great views. Check in and access was easy - no issue at all being in the same building as a more typical hotel. We were able to utilise onsite 15min parking for pick up and drop offs as we parked offsite. The unit was very clean when we arrived (we stayed for 2 weeks) and there was additional towels and cleaning supplies that we could use to keep the place tidy. Options for additional mid stay cleaning services were advertised as well. Full kitchen enables you to take advantage of the outdoor table and views that you have paid for - and keep costs down when the unfavourable exchange rate takes its toll! We have been to Waikiki many times and stayed in different accommodation and locations. This unit and location was a highlight. Our family 2A and 2C (14 and 11) loved it.

Nothing - we got what we expected, a great home away from home - if you are expecting daily hotel service, sheets, towels etc, don't. If you want the unit to be really cold (why are you in Hawaii for a start??) then be aware that the unit faces south and captures the sun very well and you will need to have the curtains closed at times to allow the older style window mounted AC to catch up. Not an issue for us, as warmth is one of the reasons we were there.

They didn't serve food.

We were there for 2 weeks, but no one changed the linens or gave us clean towels.

Location was excellent.

The apartment was not what the photos projected. Windows had a film applied that kept you from seeing the beautiful view that we were lead to believe we had. Air conditioner was too small for the apartment, according to their own maintenance. Walls were dirty, needed painting. Rug was dirty and outdated. The glass door going to the balcony also had the same film, it appeared to be cracked we called management group, they sent maintenance out and they said that it was just the film, and they also said people had called about it before, and nothing done.

Great location and fabulous front desk staff. Loved the ocean view from the balcony.

Rug on dining room floor requires a steam clean.

Location , ocean view

Bathtub/shower was not draining well. Water back up even though someone came to look at it. Couch bed was creaky , loud .not comfortable. Didn’t smell clean .

We were a little sceptical at first, as there was limited information from previous reviews before we booked, but we were certainly not disappointed! We were given all the information we needed around check-in, how to get there, parking, checkout, etc. so we knew exactly what to expect before arriving. Great communication and check-in texts during the stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. The location was stunning with a great ocean view from the good-sized balcony and living room windows. It was pretty high up, so not too many other buildings obstructing the view. The rooftop pool and hot tub were lovely with views of the beach from one side and mountain views on the other side. Having full kitchen facilities was convenient, as well as being close to some great places to eat out. The apartment included cookware, tea towels, dish soap, dish cloth, and just generally everything we needed. Beach towels were provided along with all the regular towels and linen. Unfortunately, a towel rail came down while we were there (screw into plaster was loose when we arrived). Luckily it was on our second-last day do not too much disruption and the host handled it professionally and was very understanding and responsive. I would definitely recommend this accommodation in Waikiki!

A minor detail - We stayed here with 4 adults and while the main bed was great, reports are that the sofa bed was quite noisy even with very slight movements, but otherwise comfortable to sleep on.
