View from the private lanai is better than any you will find at nearby luxury hotels. The view was the highlight of our stay, as we spent a lot of time ooohing and aahhing the unobstructed views of Waikiki Beach, Honolulu Zoo, and Diamond Head. Francisco communicates quickly and made check-in a breeze. Stay was comfortable and perfect, near everything you'd want to see in the Waikiki area. Highly recommend!
