The condo is in a great location, a few minutes' walk to the beach, about 10 minute walk to Waikiki Beach itself, and close to everything of interest along Kalakaua Ave. There is a small coffee shop with some fresh food on the lobby level. The unit is a lower floor but you still have a beautiful view and spend less time on the elevator ;). Parking is included and saves you $$ !
The host was very responsive and helpful. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking full meals. Also, one of the beds (the larger bed) is adjustable between lie flat/reclining. There were boogie boards and small beach chairs available on the lanai. In February, I could see the sunrise from the bed closest to the window, and from the lanai, but you do not get direct sunlight during the day which makes the lanai and the entire unit more comfortable.
One reviewer mentioned lack of water in January 2021. During my February 2021 stay, I did have cold water during the day, but no hot water. The Waikiki Banyan is currently undergoing renovation so there are some noticeable things associated with that. The host was very accommodating in regard to this. Find out what amenities may or may not be available at the time of your stay, as the renovation schedule changes and varies among groups of units.
