First, I can’t thank the host enough for all the assistance getting checked in and established. She was always quick to respond and offered a ton of helpful advice.
The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach, free parking within a block or two of the hotel (may require some patient searching during peak beach hours but we always found a place within 10 min or so), and access to the main highways for travel around the island. Its also next to a local bus stop for those who want to avoid a rental car all together. (DaBus #20 from HNL to the hotel is about 40-50 min, $5.50 compared to $30-$40 Uber). Plenty of local restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity (highly recommend Momosan Ramen) or you can stroll along the boulevard.
The room itself is tucked back towards the back, nestled in a quiet corner of the hotel. Nice touches such as a Brita water pitcher, beach towels, umbrellas make it easy to pack for an afternoon at the beach. Mattress was super comfy, the room offers air con, and the shower delivered comfortable hot water pressure. Appliances include a microwave, mini-fridge, beer fridge, 2 pan burner, and coffee pot; and of course, plates and utensils. We ate breakfast at the condo and packed our lunches. Laundry is available for $4 a load (washer and dryer) and the friendly front desk clerks can break bills and provide change (there’s also an app you can use). Be sure to check out the 10th floor sun deck! I spent most mornings enjoying my fresh brewed cup of coffee in the light cool breeze, watching the sun pop up over diamond head.
I highly recommend Reys place for a couple or small family! Would definitely stay here again. 😀
