Kailua Holidays from NZ$2,918

Service was excellent! No hidden fees, very professional and friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay, clean room and we were greeted by a towel animal and chocolates! The beach equipment/ towels were life savers! In one instance, I forgot to apply sunblock and front desk provided some, super generous! Prior to our stay, I read reviews and people complained about the karaoke bar, street noise… I mean the hotel is a street away from the beach and it’s a high traffic area, you’re getting what you pay for. Parking was at another location, still walkable as the hotel had sold out. No problem or issues. We parked at Waikīkī Banyan, walkable distance. No big deal. If you’re a traveler, you’ll enjoy your stay, if you’re more of a vacationer and only staying at the property/ resort, I would not recommend the stay.

The room wasn’t great. We had to pull the bed out to get at plug ins. There was only one luggage rack and no room for two suitcases (and we only had carryons) in the bedroom. It was good there was a dresser, I unpacked into that. Many large gaps in the flooring. The kitchen was very minimally stocked, not even a plug for the sink to properly wash dishes or a washcloth to wipe up. One of the outside bar stools was so rickety as to be unusable and a shelf in the bathroom was coming out of the wall. Plus there are gaps behind the shelves so stuff can fall through. Hot water for the shower was basically non existent. We had it cranked to full hot every time and never had to turn it down. A couple of times it was lukewarm at best. Can only assume there’s a regulator of some kind because the taps for the sinks had hotter water. Lighting at night is lacking as well as room direction signage. Knowing where to find our room in the dark the first night was a challenge. All that said, the lobby area was great, banana bread, coffee, fruit and water dispenser wonderful. Having use of kayaks, the floating dock area and hot tub (a little small) were also great features and the views absolutely gorgeous. Staff were friendly and helpful, cleanliness and parking not an issue for us. Would we come back? Hmm, not sure.

Location is fantastic it’s right on the sands of the best location on Waikiki beach. Rooms are very clean but a bit on the older style. The hotel provided as a gift refillable water bottles and had around the lobby some high end cold water filters

The surrounding amenities were great but the room was average at best. The room was quite humid and looked like a standard 3 star hotel room. There was also no air vent in the bathroom so after showering it was even more humid inside. The only nice part of the room was the bed, it was quite comfortable. The bedding was never changed though while we were there and I noticed they weren't actually cleaning our room during cleaning service. I ended up needing to wipe down surfaces and clean the floors. For a standard vacation this place is fine, however it was our honeymoon and it was not giving a luxury vibe in the room at all.

This is a phenomenal location in a safe, guarded, clean building with friendly, helpful staff for the price. We appreciated the kitchen, however the pots and pans need upgrading. Overall we were very pleased with our stay, and also appreciated the terrace for morning coffee and evening wine.
