Excellent location,short walk from Waikiki. All staff are very helpful and friendly and the onsite restaurant is amazing. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, big shout out to house keeping! Compared to the built up area of central Waikiki this hotel was by far the better choice with quick access to a beautiful beach and fantastic views of Diamond Head. We will be coming back.

Great location- off the beaten path of Waikiki and yet within walking distance. Quieter beaches. Staff shined the Aloha spirit. Rooms were clean, well stocked, and nice size. Pleasantly surprised by quality of gym. Totally would stay again.

I regret to say that my experience with this hotel was disappointing. I had informed them in advance that I would be checking in late, but it seems my room was given away, assuming I wouldn't arrive. When I arrived, there was no one at the front desk for about 30 minutes. Despite calling and knocking on the door, I received no response. After a long flight, this was incredibly frustrating. When the front desk clerk finally arrived, he seemed to blame me for the delay and was quite rude. He even threw the check-in paperwork at me and made a comment about “Californians being so impatient,” which felt unfair, considering I had waited at the front desk for half an hour. At one point, the clerk leaned in as if he wanted to fight, which was both intimidating and unprofessional. I have this moment recorded on video. To make matters worse, the room I had originally reserved wasn’t available. Despite booking online and completing pre-check-in the day before, they offered what they called an "upgrade"—a room with two queen beds, which was far from ideal for my wife and me, especially since we were celebrating our honeymoon. The clerk's attitude was dismissive, and he suggested I speak to the owner the next day if I had issues. We ended up taking the room with two beds and had to sleep separately on our honeymoon. Although the rest of the stay was fine, I noticed a hold on my card for seven days after checking out and have yet to receive a response to my email inquiry.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel one night and we were given a room with double beds. Both of us are tall so we do not fit well on a double bed. They said they didn’t have any rooms with king beds available, however we checked in early so it is not possible that they had run out of rooms. The staff member who checked us in was very unfriendly. At night the room was pretty noisy and you could hear noise from people partying. Not a very restful sleep. Hotel room was clean but a bit old looking in the bathroom. If we come back to Waikiki, we will not be returning. I suspect the reason we got the room with double beds is because we booked with Expedia.

The resort was very nice, staff was very informative and accommodating. Disappointed that our room had a partial ocean view, not an ocean view room as we paid for, and also being gold members we were supposed to receive a bottlen of wine. Never received. At check in, the staff was friendly greeting us with fresh lemongrass cooling towels and fresh local guava juice. We thoroughly enjoyed the welcome greeting.

The valet staff were excellent and very friendly! I couldn't say the same about the front desk. We had an issue of being over charged that took about 3-4 months to finally get resolved. That was disappointing. The manager gave us the run around. It's a nice location and close to Waikiki. It's a reasonable price point.

Disappointing experience didn't feel welcome and we were not offered any upgrades or the complimentary wine even after asking for it . Amenities in the room were limited to one coffee per day , the breakfast options were very limited and paper cups for breakfast and croissant in a bag, not a plate . No outdoor area to sit and relax other than room balcony and that only had 2 hard upright chairs no loungers.

Not much to look at from the outside, but once you enter you know its a nice place. Clean and smells nice. The staff is crazy nice and accommodating. The cold towel while waiting was refreshing. I have zero complaints. Parking is $50 and I felt guilty about not tipping the valet.
