A big thank you to Mari for her assistance upon arrival and support during our stay.
The unit is in a great location towards the Diamond Head end of Waikiki and only one block from the water and the main Kuhio Beach. The view from both the balcony and the main lounge area is terrific and from the 21st floor we had plenty to look at while enjoying sunsets each afternoon.
The pool area on the roof also gives you a great 360 degree view of the surrounding area and access to the spa and sauna are also available.
Security is good with an access card to the front door of the condo and pin number for the room.
There is also a pay as you use laundry on site if needed.
The main bus line to Ala Moana shopping centre and beyond is at the front door of the facility. There is a full kitchen in the unit.
We suggest that you travel on TheBus to a larger grocery outlet to save money and buses from either Kuhio Ave or Kalakaua Ave will take you to Safeways, Foodlands or Walmart.
Don't be afraid to tackle TheBus as it is a very inexpensive way of travelling around the island and the drivers are usually very helpful if you have any questions. Each trip costs $2.75 with the option of asking for a transfer ticket included if you use it within (I think) two hour? of your return. There is also a 1-Day Pass for $5.50 if you want to hop on and hop off all day. You must however have the right money for all rides as no change is given by the driver.
All in all we enjoyed our 8th trip to Hawaii and we look forward to coming back again in the future.
Carol and Kevin
