The view and location are worth the reservation! I needed a place to work from, so having amazing views was important. Loved watching children on the soccer fields across the canal at night and the changes in the mountainside as clouds rolled in and out during the day. Getting to the beach was a stroll along a park and through the Hilton Hawaiian Village - fun touristy shops and restaurants. Early morning walks along the canal are a must. Watching the scullers (?) is fun, too. Gotta check out the food trucks across the street. I totally recommend this property.
