After numerous trips to Waikiki usually staying in the big resorts my wife and I decided to try something different this time and booked Phillips place. So glad we did! The location and amenities were perfect. Much less crowded and noisy than the big resorts but just a short walk to the core of Waikiki for restaurants,shopping and happy hour drinks.The beach is also a short walk away through beautiful Derussy Park. As we did a bit of an extended stay in Waikiki this time the kitchen and BBQ areas were perfect for cooking numerous meals on days we wanted a break from restaurant food. We usually loaded up on groceries at Don Quijote's about 2 blocks across the Ala Wai canal which is also an easy walk from Phillips place. The pool area was also great with a couple of large shaded cabanas that we hung out under in the afternoons to take a break from all the beach sun in the morning.Free wifi by the pool too! The gym area right next to the pool was also great with some decent equipment for an occasional workout.
Amazing views from the Lanai overlooking Derussy Park,Waikiki and the ocean in the distance. We enjoyed our cup of Kona on the Lanai every morning as the sun came up over the city.
Phillip responds immediately to any questions you have and as a bonus the staff at the Luana are very friendly and helpful as well-especially Jesse in Valet out front!
All in all we had an amazing stay here and would not hesitate to book Phillips place again-highly recommended!
