My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. The location of this property is absolutely perfect in my opinion. This property is one block from the beach, which is awesome. The rooftop deck you see in the pictures is pretty incredible. Since the property is on the very south side of Waikiki, it gives you an unobstructed, 180 degree view of diamond head and the ocean - it's pretty spectacular! I love snorkeling and there's actually pretty decent snorkeling spot on Queen's beach close to the wall between Queen's Beach and Queen's Surf Beach which is a 4
minute walk from the room. If you keep exploring for about 45 minutes you'll probably see a couple hundred fish and 8-10 different species of fish. I've always rented snorkel gear from Snorkel Bob's who is 5min from this property and they're great. Lastly about the area, we walked down and had breakfast at the Barefoot Beach Cafe one morning and I would recommend it. Great food and awesome ambiance next to the ocean.
The room was great also. It seemed slightly smaller in person than in the pictures, but it perfect for what we needed and great for a couple. Everything looked upgraded and really nice in the unit. Similar or better pricing than a decent hotel, but it's more spacious and you get a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, pots and pans to cook on and nice dishes to use. There were also beach chairs and an umbrella to use in the closet. We enjoyed staying in and just watching TV some nights. The TV swivels so you can watch in bed and there's a pretty good lineup of channels here (200+) with a DVR which was great. The only downside to the building is the pool doesn't look that good. When you're 150 yards from an incredible beach - and specifically Kuhio Beach that's walled off so it feels like a pool anyway, there's really not even a need for the pool on the property.
Overall we had a great experience. Because of the location, 180 degree rooftop view of diamond head and the ocean, quality of the room, and the price, we will probably always try to stay here first when we visit Waikiki in the future!
