Positives: This is a wonderful place to stay at its price. Not right on the beach, but a comfortable walk to it. Public transportation is available right at the front door and Ala Moana mall is 1 mile down the street. You can access everything: beaches, restaurants, shopping, etc. from this location. Owners were available to answer any and all questions. We would stay again with a few slight improvements. Negatives: Owners did not prepare us well for beach life: no beach towels, beach mats, umbrella. There were no guides in the room for a map, transportation, local events or things to do in Waikiki. Be cautious, this is a separate room from the Aqua Palms hotel so you will not receive any hotel amenities.
