Very nice interior—clean, beautifully furnished. We have stayed at Pali Ke Kua before, in an upper unit, and found the layout of this ground floor, true two bedroom unit much better. We did hear construction noise from the nearby giant refit of the St Regis, but at this unit that’s a steady background sound…an all day rumble. It’s there but you can kind of get used to it.
But the quality of our stay was very much affected by the remodel of a PKK unit adjacent to this one. We were there 11 days and almost every day starting before 8 am it was loud…not just power tools but the workers playing music all day, and shouting above the noise of their saws and hammers. If I knew about this, I would not have rented the place. We did not sit outside during the day because of the noise, and we kept the sliders closed sometimes too. Any hotel will disclose on-site construction on its webpage, and the management of this unit should have warned us too. I know individual owners can’t control when others in a complex are going to gut and remodel their places, but there must be some notification system within the condo association—the kind of thing we get from the city when our neighbors are doing major work on their houses. Under other circumstances this would have been a really amazing stay.
