We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Banyan. It felt like a home away from home. The apartment was very well equipped with all of the essentials and it even included several of extra bonuses like beach chairs, boogie boards, tennis racquets and a basketball. The beds were very comfortable. Being 7 months pregnant makes it hard to sleep, and I slept better here than I did at home! The layout of the apartment was great for our little family of 3. There was enough space for us all to have our privacy when needed, but cozy enough to spend quality family time together. The hosts, Krys and Dena, were very accommodating and welcoming, addressing our needs in a timely manner. The welcome gift was a nice added bonus! The apartment is 1 block to the beach and even closer to restaurants and shopping. There is even a great health food store a block and a half away. In the building, there is a coffee shop and a convenient store. We frequent Oahu as my husband's family lives on the island; I am already looking forward to our next trip and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!
