My husband and I were on the island for a conference at the convention center. We wanted to stay somewhere close to the conference but also be within walking distance to the beach and have a nice view. Wow - did this place fit the bill. From the very beginning, Carl and Darcel were wonderful! The condo is very clean, very updated, very comfortable, and the view is just breathtaking! We enjoyed our stay very much! We accidentally left our camera charger when we left. I let them know as soon as we realized and asked them to mail it back to us and we would pay the postage. No worries - Darcel mailed it and told us not to worry about postage! That's the kind of folks you want to give your business! If you are coming to the island, I highly recommend staying at this condo! You won't regret it! Mahalo Carl and Darcel!

A WONDERFUL 35TH. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY VACATION!

The pictures do not do the view justice! We watched the surfers, the ships, several submarines and the sailboats from our condo. The Friday night fireworks over the lagoon next door were incredible, as was the "free" intertainment from the roof of the hotel parking garage next door. The location is absolutely wonderful, with the beach a short walk away, and the fantastic Ala Moana 200 store mall close by. We only rented a vehicle the last two days of our stay, as the public transportation system takes you anywhere you want to go and drops you off in front of the hotel. Can't say enough about the hotel and the condo. Darcel, the manager, and Carl, the owner, couldn't be nicer and more accommodating. My husband and I will not hesitate to recommend this condo to friends and family.

Hi Carl, It was such a wonderful vacation, we loved it. It was difficult to come back to Calgary. The condominium was very pleasant, great location, quiet, close to the restaurants, luxury row and the mall. Overlooking the ocean and the lagoon, we sat out on the veranda every morning and evening. We took your advice and went to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and took a tour of the Island. It was great! Thank you for everything.

Hello Carl, We just arrived home from our wonderful trip in Hawaii. We had a great stay at your condo & I've already recommended your place to some friends... the condo was tidy, great views from lanai and in an ideal location. Next time we are in Waikiki we would definitely like to rent your place again! Also many thanks to Darcel for being so helpful. Best regards, Christiane

Nice room and furnishings--Need to get a maid that know how to clean

Guest: Shammi (Gold Hill, OR, U.S.A.)
Date of Stay: 05/03/11 Review Submitted: 07/25/11

We stayed here on May 3-10. I loved the room and furnishings. The view of the ocean was wonderful along with fireworks, and the lua on the rooftop next door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. At night, we could not leave our window open, as the sounds from the waterfalls next door from the Hilton was extremely loud. The biggest down fall, was that on the first day we arrived I realized our toilet had urine and hair all over it and the floors had not been swept and mopped. We called management, they sent the maid. She took a cleaning rag, wiped the toilet seat off, and asked if there was anything else I needed. Needless to say, I spent three hours my first day cleaning the entire room. I I was determined nothing was going to ruin my vacation, even if it meant cleaning my own room. Other than that, the room was beautiful, once it was cleaned.

Owner response:Hello Shammi, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I immediately investigated this unfortunate incident and found the root cause. Rest assured that I addressed this oversight with the responsible personnel in a swift and timely fashion. Furthermore, I have since established corrective action measures that will prevent this oversight from repeating. It is our mission to ensure that valued tenants, such as you, are provided with an environment that reflects the values of pride and excellance that Chona and I embrace. I commend you in your perserverance to extend yourself beyond the situation but more importantly, I extend my apology and a humble hope that you will allow me to compensate you should a future visit to Oahu be in your plan. Respectfully, Carl Peralta

Dear Mr. Peralta, My wife and I had a great time in Honolulu and we appreciate the opportunity to stay in Unit 1018 during the two weeks that were there. The accommodations suited our needs to a tee. Your property management company did a good job in the check in / checkout process. Thanks and all the best for the Christmas season and the New Year. Regards,

Hi Carl I just wanted to say thank you for making us to stay at your condo. The condo was very comfortable and the location was perfect for strolloling around. Japan is getting cold and we really miss the weather in Hawaii! We hope to be able to go back there in the future. Best regards, Kiyo
