Overall, this is a GREAT place to stay!
Pros:
Great location in Oahu! Few blocks to the beach, to grocery store (ABC), Starbucks, etc. Few blocks to the Zoo, Tiki’s Bar & Grill and Rental Place for all scooters, mopeds, electric bikes, etc.
Has a fantastic little cafe in the bottom of the condo association that serves fresh foods and great coffee, although it is a little expensive.
Place was CLEAN!
Beds were COMFORTABLE!
AC was COLD!
Communication was swift, punctual and polite!
Has great and large pool + 2 hot-tub’s + kids play area if you don’t have the time (or energy) to make it to the beach every day and want to get in the water.
Free Parking was great!
All the people in this condo association are kind and friendly!
Door has a code lock on it instead of a key which was great for ease of access when you have more than one person coming and going!
WASHER & DRYER on same (every) floor! We did laundry every other day and LOVE that that this is available. You do have to pay, around $2.50 for a wash and $2.50 for the dryer but well worth it! It’s done on an app called PayRange and we just keep it loaded because we come back to Hawaii twice a year (woohoo!)
MINOR CONS:
Low on kitchen utensils (basics are supplied).
No dish rags in kitchen at all to simply wipe your hands on when wet.
Wifi on the aTV was laggy and worked off and on, randomly (even after resetting model/router. Some days wouldn’t work at all and some days worked great.
Not a single beach toy or chairs or floaties to use (although we knew this ahead of time prior to booking as the listing made this clear). We have stayed at the Waikiki Banyon multiple times now and every other place in this “hotel” has had these amenities. It’s just nice to have because it’s extra (big) stuff that guests have to pack or purchase there.
