Angel is a wonderful host. Thoughtful and accommodating, quick with responses. She took the trouble to explain details and even called to see if we were doing alright.
Location. Location. Location. The hotel-apartment is co-located with the Ala Moana Hotel, which means that it is right next door to the biggest and arguably the best Mall in Honolulu. Equipped with all assortments of boutique and affordable retail shops and restaurants. I would personally recommend the food courts for variety and good value. As a repeat tourist into Hawaii, my all time favourite food has got to be the Açai bowl at Vintage Island Coffee.
Getting around is easy with tourist inclined options such as car/scooter/bicycle rentals and the dependable Trolley. If you intend to drive parking is relatively expensive anywhere in Waikiki. Hotel overnight parking incurs a fee.
On a Friday evening cross the street to view live fireworks at 7:45pm along the Ala Moana Beach Park facing east. If you’re a big spender book early for the best seats and have dinner while you enjoy the show at Neiman Marcus’s Mariposa restaurant.
Overall it was a fantastic stay and our host Angel played a part to go out of her way to make it pleasant and memorable. Mahalo Angel!
