The penthouse is in a hotel and towers above Honolulu. Great view of the water and city. While it was not cheap, compared to what it would cost for 6 people to get three rooms in a top line hotel, during Xmas week, it was a good value. Very close to the ocean and for us was located near all activities that we had to attend at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. There were minor issues but the host was very responsive. The pool is very large and the deck around the pool is huge. It is not a luxury hotel however. So the pool while large, is not a resort type pool. For people who actually like to swim, it was great. Not great if you are looking for people to bring you drinks. The condo did not have games or many water type toys that could be taken to the beach. The beds were comfortable and there was a pull-out couch that was very acceptable. The kitchen was well equipped. Parking was a tad more expensive than advertised ($40 instead of $35 per night). We would love to return
