This condo is great. The pictures of the space are accurate and the view is beautiful. Comfortably fit 4 of us. The location is also pretty awesome because you are a bit away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Waikiki. You are not in the hub of all the tourist attractions. However, it is still pretty easy to walk to some of the popular Waikiki destinations. Compared to other parts of the island, it is noisy, which should be expected in Waikiki. You are right on the harbor and in front of a famous surf spot- Ala Moana Bowls.
What is a bit confusing is that it is located in a hotel so its tricky to know what hotel amenities are included in your stay. Using the bellman service is $2 a bag + tip since you are staying in a condo. We ran out of toilet paper and had to purchase our own. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR OWN SURFBOARDS– it is just way too difficult to transport them up and down in the hotel. The elevators continuously were out of service and at times were backed up with lines around the hotel lobby. - This is the reason for my 4-star review.
You can pay for parking via valet but we opted not to by parking behind the hotel and in front of the marina. It was less convenient and more stressful but we were able to make it work and luckily always found a spot. The hotel food options are not the best compared to other hotels nearby. Cinnamons doesn't offer takeout which was annoying and the wait was always over an hour. The Aroma cafe is delicious but definitely overpriced. The hotel has a mixture of tourists and residents, and the residents are extremely friendly and helpful. The condo was great but probably won't visit again because the North Shore suited my group better.
