My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in “Blue Ocean!”
Very clean and well-appointed; very comfy bed. Check in was super easy and loved the key pad. SO NICE not to have to track a room key! Our son joined us last minute and Angie and Cyrille were right over to set up the sofa bed.
Nice property that operates as both a hotel and condo complex, so we paid condo price with ocean-view/nearly-beachfront hotel benefits. The building has 3 wings with elevators in the center. The unit is on the 23rd floor (of 25) with huge windows, a lovely deck and view as depicted. It is the second unit from the elevator. Definitely a studio apartment arrangement; no designated dining set-up other than the bar. Valet-only parking onsite is most convenient and quick; worth it if you want your own transportation to explore the island, but be prepared for traffic. Excellent wifi - we watched NetFlix through our phone on the TV screen.
This is the best locale on Waikiki. There is a beautiful wide beach a short walk away. Most of Waikiki beach is comprised of very tiny strips of sand packed with people. There is no getting away from the drone of the city and occasional inconsiderate neighbors. However, we found the unit relatively quiet when fully closed up. My only complaint: No beach supplies; I wish beach chairs had been provided...
Thanks Angie and Cyrille for your hospitality!
