Great stay for those looking to save money and have a home base for their stay in Hawaii! It was our first time to Hawaii and we decided we wanted to save money by staying somewhere more affordable so we can spend more on excursions/food.
Pros:
- very comfortable bed
- large fridge and kitchen appliances (microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, etc)
- very close to 7-11 Convenience Store (2 min walk)
- on-site restaurant Burger & Sushi was delicious and convenient
- 15-20 min walk to more central Waikiki locations
- access to pool / hot tub
- TV has access to a lot of channels (we enjoyed the Fear Factor channel haha)
- ample bathroom counter space
- property is next to car / electric scooter rentals
- (2) snorkel equipment provided
Cons:
- AC unit is right by the bed and is pretty loud, may not be good for light sleepers
- curtains don’t really close all the way and guests at the pool can see into the room since room faces pool
- water tastes weird from the tap here; would recommend purchasing from convenience store instead
- no place to unpack/hang clothes but we used the plethora of kitchen cabinets
- sometimes elevator wait took really long since one was out of service; one time took 15 minutes!
- parking is $35/day for multiple days or $40 for a single day; pretty steep.
- only one light beach towel provided; may need to buy or rent an additional larger one if traveling as a couple and not packing one
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and felt like it was great value for what we paid. Everything looked just as it did in the photos and was clean. If you’re okay with walking 15-20 min or ride sharing to most places, this is a great location! Mahalo Nobu for great accommodations for our first time to Hawaii!
