Super cute, charming and clean condo inside of the Aqua Aloha Surf hotel!
Great view of the canal with plenty of lighting, plus privacy and peace and quiet being a corner unit.
Super convenient access to Waikiki and all of the local attractions.
Quick tip: park along the canal for free (check signs for cleaning times)! Don’t bother with the $35 per night at the hotel!
Charlie is also very polite and responsive! For example, we found a giant cockroach in our room (not his fault because it is Hawaii after all), and he was quick to provide us with some big spray.
One con is that even though this condo is inside of the hotel, it is considered a completely separate unit, so the night staff is extremely cold and unhelpful. They even refused to offer plastic bags for ice or garbage!
Fortunately, daytime staff is much more cordial.
Also, there is no gym as advertised. Apparently, the hotel used to have one pre-pandemic, but shut it down, and never bothered to replace it.
One suggestion I would make to Charlie is to have a full body mirror near the front door to make sure our beach ready outfits look fresh before hitting the road!
Also, the bathroom door has a magnetic hitch that keeps it swung open, however, the stem is a bit too long, and sticks out a bit much.
Other than that, everything is great! I would totally come back!
Mahalo!
