What a great apartment, what a great place. The whole story is great from start to finish. Apartment is perfect and has the most amazing view. The surf breaks right out the front of the building are fantastic, we surfed three times a day and retreated to the apartment to recover and could look down on and photograph the waves from the balcony. The kitchen is really functional, the fridge is huge, the studio/living room is perfect, TV and wireless terrific but the balcony with comfy furniture and view of the surf and Hilton lagoon is just the best. Take binoculars and zoom camera and you can watch and record the surfers with ease. Great coffee shop in the building - having a real good go a producing quality espresso based coffees in the land of starbucks. The hotels bar and restaurant is also good value and really handy after a big day in the surf. No need for a car, surf, food and fun all on hand. Easy walk to Ala Mona mall and from there we got The Bus to North Shore and then all around the island for $2.50 each. Great selection of surf boards to rent in the ONiell shop just outside entrance to building - could not believe that I got a brand new, never been in the water, 7"11 Tufflite for $25 a day. ABC convenience store also just outside building stocks great fruit salad tubs, Boxes of local choc coated Macadamia nuts for $2.50 a box and cold Australian beer for less than we can buy it in Australia?? All in all just a great apartment, great location, great building, great facilities within the building, great facilities just outside building, great place to visit, great surf in June, Great host - accommodated our every need in terms of check in time and check out time, so clean, so good, what more can I say
