Waikiki Banyan on 29th Floor, Spring Special !!!

Nice places close to everything nice staff

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was easy access to beach, shopping and eateries. I really missed having a DVD player so I could catch up on a few movies I've missed. This unit had all the kitchen amenities we needed as well as extras like beach chairs and cooler. However due to this being a work trip for us we found our sleep impacted by the lack of padding over the springs on the beds. Tossing and turning all night trying to get comfortable makes for a long sleepless night. I actually slept on the futon couch several nights due to sore hips. Also these beds are not queen size, they are smaller than a full size by 3 inches. If the beds were upgraded with some memory foam or new mattresses this would give it 5 stars and we would definitely return !!

Standard condo and amenities. Fit the bill for a quick work trip. Clear communication and clean condo. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the beds to new queen sized beds. The full size beds are really hard 😳

If you want a resort experience, a condo stay is not it. For us, this unit was excellent. The floor plan is more open than other Banyan units (no counter between kitchenette and living area) -- thus a little cramped for counter space (microwave in hall closet), but all appliances are in great shape. We had our own snorkeling gear, but the unit has snorkeling masks, boogie boards, beach chairs, tatami (bamboo mat for sand), etc. The living room futon, plus 2 double beds was super nice for our family with teens. The door has an electronic lock which was very convenient for each person to go in and out on their own schedule.

I grew up in Honolulu, and when back visiting family the Banyan is our preferred condo. The Banyan is the quieter side of Waikiki, can walk to beach, Kapiolani Park, Zoo, Aquarium. Parking included, and easy drive to Safeway and Foodland (or Zippy's) on Kapahulu. Head up Monsarrat to the Diamond Head Grill for a gourmet plate lunch (a little pricey but we think it is worth it). If you are around Ala Moana, stop in at Don Quijote for local snacks and comfort food. And there are great small restaurants nearby in Kaimuki and McCully.

This is a very nice apartment unit. Well equipped.

Comfy beds. Would stay here again.
