We had a great week in Hawaii. The apartment was fabulous, with the most amazing view we've ever seen. When we walked in the door it took our breath away. The apartment had a lot of shops and restaurants beside it and was a short walk to the beach and main street. We hired a car which was fantastic for getting around and seeing the sites and it was great to have free parking with the apartment (as most hotels charge per day for parking). There was a lot of cooking facilities in the apartment. We made our breakfast there every morning and had access to cooking facilities- kettle, saucepans, toaster, etc. There is also laundry facilities on two floors. The only negative we have about the apartment was the elevator. It wasn't too bad at the beginning of our stay but after a day or two only one elevator was in use and at times you could be waiting 20 minutes or more to get up or down as one elevator is servicing 40 floors.
