My teenage son said on our last day, "This place deserves SIX stars!" We loved our stay in the condo! It's like the perfect mix of a hotel and an Airbnb. There were only a few minor imperfections that really didn't impact our stay at all.
Pros:
- Great views with balconies on opposite sides of the building, so you can see in all directions
- Amazing staff in the building, with great customer service. Very friendly and helpful.
- Comfortable beds
- Short walk to the beach
- Surrounded by lots of great restaurants
- Well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and playing on the beach
- Friday night fireworks!!! Perfect view of the fireworks!!
- ABC Store in the bottom of the building has a great little grocery store and food you can buy. We really enjoyed the salads and the pizza was a hit with the kids.
- Access to a lounge just downstairs, with an oceanfront view and a pool table.
- Plenty of room and storage space.
- Good water pressure in the showers, considering it's on the top floor!
Cons:
- Be aware that there is a flight of stairs to get into the unit, and stairs in the bathrooms. Not a problem for us, but if you have bad knees this might not be a good choice.
- Some noise from the city and building equipment - we kept a fan on at bedtime for some white noise.
- Slow elevators, so you need some patience getting up and down. (But one of them has a window looking outside which is fun!)
- No self parking (but the valet service is excellent. One morning we had to leave at 6 a.m. to hike Diamond Head, we told them the night before, and our car was ready and waiting for us at 6:00.)
