This condo is at one end of Waikiki that's less built up. So, depending on your preference, it's either nicer because it's less crowded or it's less convenient since there are fewer shops and restaurants on this end. The apartment has a nice view of the Ala Wai on the 8th floor. Some might think it's noisy, but it didn't bother us. We loved the lanai. It's got a view of a paddle club and you can see the locals practice paddling. The condo worked well for our family of four. The beds were on the soft side for us, but that's a personal preference. The building and the apartment are a bit old and run down but it's a good value. Overall, a pleasant experience.
