The views really are amazing! We rented two adjacent units, it was perfect for me, my husband and mom. The beds I found surprisingly comfy, the unit felt clean. There was access to a laundry room which was a added bonus and the restaurants on the bottom floor simplified last minute dinner plans. The walk to the beach was about 15 minutes (maybe faster if you walk quicker) my mother needs a walker to help her walk and had no issue with the distance. You pass through a lot of shops and restaurants on your way so get to see a lot! Overall I will not hesitate to book a stay here again whenever we travel back to Honolulu!
