My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Hawaiian Monarch penthouse. The views and location were awesome. The condo was very walkable and perfect for five adults who enjoyed exploring on foot (e.g., only 15-20 minutes to the Waikiki strip, Ala Moana Center, Don Quijote, etc.). Communication with Rick was easy, and his responses were timely. I agree with other reviewers' comments regarding the condo needing some updates, the long elevator wait times, and the (sometimes rude) parking attendants (who are not affiliated with the building). Overall, the location, views, and value outweigh these negatives, and I would stay here again.
