Pounders Beach Tours and Activities

Access to the beach and a block away from Kalakaua avenue. We had partial ocean view from the 8th floor. It was great to wake up to that and watch the surfers be already in the water at 6 am! Housekeeping was good. Front desk also very friendly and quick to respond. We did check in at 1:30 am the next day since our connecting flight got delayed (We were supposed to check in at 11 pm). Our reservation was cancelled as a no show a few minutes before we arrived but we were able to reclaim it with a 15 minute wait. The property is a little dated, the tub being a sort of a mini walk in tub and the pool was Ok as well, but a good bang for the buck if you need to only get a good night's sleep. By no means a luxury hotel and they do have a nightly resort fee. The breakfast was pretty filling with eggs, salad and fruit being the staple. That was mixed in with potato fritters and egg fried rice on some days. Yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, bread made up the rest. At the end of the week, we did get tired of some of the stuff but overall a pretty filling free breakfast if you don't mind the repetition.All in all we had a pleasant stay.

Where to start with this stay? So much to make a trip relaxing here! Like a well-cared for home without all the work. Fantastic location with or without a personal vehicle. Private parking available onsite. Impeccable level of service and attention from all levels of staff and workers here. Rooms are clean with all the comforts of home including nice bathrooms, kitchens stocked with basic cooking and eating needs, spacious living rooms and relaxing lanais. Dining, shopping, and beach all within walking distance. Loved having the use of their dedicated room to wait in before checking in and after checking out. They have anticipated most traveler’s needs and taken care of many of the travel stresses often encountered. They also have a dedicated area which includes the pool, a sauna, a luxurious grilling area with comfortable dining adjacent to the grills, and a children’s area for the littles with musical instruments and other entertaining games. Fitness area in the same general area. Their restaurant was closed and undergoing renovations during our stay. English and Japanese spoken by many staff. Nice amenities given to guests including reef-safe sunscreen, canvas beach bag and water bottles. There’s so much to love about this place. I highly encourage anyone considering a stay in Waikiki to look at this accommodation.
