Clean rooms with great views and balcony. Nice bathroom. Free beach towels and beach chairs. Restaurant had a very upscale menu, not much for picky eaters. If you don't want to pay for parking, there is plenty at the park across the street.
Cons first (to be up front):
$50 per night for parking (required valet) n their tiny lot.
$40 daily resort fee (you can get beach towels and chairs, no umbrellas).
Hotel restaurant was always empty but always told at least a 20-30 min wait???
Beds are pretty terrible, soooooo soft, lumpy, felt half hammock / half mattress, not flat.
Storage for surfboards is terrible, tiny, skinny awkward closet (it's actually not for surfboards). I would never want to store my own board there.
Pros:
Super friendly and helpful staff, beau5iful lobby, view of Diamond Head wonderful, cute area, nice beach out front, quiet but walkable to Waikiki, great surf shop on site.
Despite the cons, I would considee staying there again.
I loved that it was located right on the beach. Easy check in. Although the next day I had to clarify that the room was paid through Expedia so I wasn’t paying for the room twice.
The complimentary sparkling wine arrived the last evening of the stay after we’d already had cocktails. Also we had to remind them that it was included. Overall the hotel and location is wonderful .
Do not stay here with a small child, unless you make sure your room size is big enough. The view from my room was gorgeous and it's probably the only reason why I didn't pay attention on the room size was available to book. The beach was small, but great, clean, and sandy. Water was ideal. I was looking to stay far from crowd and be on the mostly own beach. I thought it's all about this hotel. But, unfortunately, my experience as a guest with a child was ridiculous becasue of room size, which was 205 sqft, lack of dining options and customer service from the hostess side. No prioritites for guests who live in the hotel. Your child is hungry, they don't care, tables by reservations only, or eat in your small room. Per my experience, they welcome and serve better people from outside the hotel. Even a lot of paid street parking in the area, no available parking around to avoid $50 daily hotel parking fees. If you think it's far from crowd, forget about the crowd is here. So, unfortunately, I was hoping to relax, to swim, to enjoy and have a great time, but instead I cancelled my trip. I offered per my request another available accommodation, but two options they offered had something I couldn't stay there. So.... but the room view was really gorgeous, the swimming in the ocean was really great.
