Bonnie's place was the launching point for our girls trip. From the time we walked in and unloaded our groceries into the kitchen, that was equip with anything we could have needed, to the beautiful evenings on the lanai and comfortable beds and couches. The parking garage was easy and even on the busy weekend we found a spot to park without trouble.
We made our own breakfasts and sometimes lunches, with local fruit and groceries from Safeway, and malasadas from Leonards. We spent our mornings watching the sunrise on the lanai and the early surfers in Waikiki, while munching fresh pineapple, with a coconut coffee from the Banyan Breese Cafe just downstairs.
We walked to Waikiki beach with the small convenient cooler, snorkels and grass mats she made available (and plenty of other chairs and floats). There we floated lazily and watched fish in the lagoons, and the long board surfers.
Bonnie's place is an easy walk to so many places like; Rock Island Cafe, which will be moving soon) and a multitude of other amazing food stops like Marukame Udon with amazing fresh noodles and tempura, or Musubi Cafe Iyasume with fresh musubi snacks for the beach! We ate and shopped until we couldn't any longer.
From Bonnie's lanai you can hear the evening sounds of Waikiki which we very much enjoyed. Music from the nearby rooftop hotel bar, busy streets with happy shoppers and trolleys with Christmas lights. We found most noises quieted by 10 or 11, but honestly if you close the door and then turn on the AC it was never an issue for us!
When we went snorkeling we didn't have need for any rental gear! Bonnie had really great masks and snorkels and fins! Watching the fish in Hananuma Bay was an amazing experience!
We spent 8 days here and will look forward to coming back! I will happily be recommending Bonnies to friends and family looking for a fantastic Waikiki vacation! Mahalo Bonnie for helping make our trip to Oahu magical!
