About this property

Upgraded Spacious Corner Unit – Beautiful Ocean View

Aloha and welcome to our condo at the Waikiki Banyan, a premier resort located one block from Waikiki beach. Our suite is a corner unit on the 12th floor of Tower 1, facing the ocean and Diamond Head.

We have equipped this condo for our own occasional vacation use with an extensive range of quality supplies. Boogie boards, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, snorkel gear and sand toys for the kids are just a few examples that distinguish our condo from others. Take advantage of our gear, and avoid the cost of purchasing your own temporary supplies.

Our suite is more spacious than most at the Waikiki Banyan, resulting in a larger living area and dedicated dining area. The additional windows open up the unit to Hawaii’s cool trade winds, plus you can enjoy a spectacular view of the ocean while preparing meals! Our kitchen, bathroom and flooring have all been recently upgraded.

For added convenience, we have retained the cleaning and maintenance services of Koko Resorts, who have an office on the 5th floor of Tower 1. This benefit provides easy access to on-site maintenance if anything in the condo needs attention. If you need to do your own laundry, you’ll find a coin operated laundry room down the hall from our suite.

Your rental will include free secured parking within the parking garage, as well as free wifi in the suite. The Waikiki Banyan has a beautiful lobby with seating area, waterfall and koi pond. They provide a helpful activity station that can arrange for tours and excursions. For your convenience, there is a mini-mart offering a variety of supplies and goodies as well as a coffee shop, both located on the ground floor.

The 6th floor hosts an excellent recreation deck with features including a large swimming pool, 2 hot tubs, children’s playground, basketball & tennis courts, sauna room, barbecue grills, picnic areas, showers and restrooms. There is also a café that provides a large variety of meals, snacks and drinks. The comprehensive facilities make the Waikiki Banyan one of the most popular vacation destinations in Waikiki.

The east end of World Famous Waikiki beach is a short stroll from the resort and features a breakwater that creates a protected area of calm water, which is perfect for younger ones. However, the surf spots are not far away too.

Also located within a very short walking distance are Kapiolani Park, the Waikiki Aquarium, International Marketplace, Ala Wai golf course (the most popular municipal golf course in Hawaii), Honolulu Zoo, and the “Rodeo Drive” of Waikiki, Kalakaua Avenue. Car rentals, St. Augustine’s Church, supermarket, a multitude of restaurants, and shops are also easily accessible. For your added convenience, a bus stop is located in front of the resort which can take you locally or around the entire island of Oahu! All major attractions (Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay, etc) can be accessed inexpensively by bus.

**Note that the recreation deck which includes the BBQ's, Kids Play Area, Tennis courts, Pool, and Jacuzzi will be closed from April 7, 2025 for 10-14 months as part of a large renovation project. We have lowered our rate to compensate for this and will help you find alternate pool arrangements close to the Banyan.

Stayed four nights and it was great.

Great space. Lots of room and convenient. Everything we had hoped for. Plenty of free parking included. Others had complained of slow elevators but we had no issues. I highly recommend this place.

Great Location

The property as a whole was fine. Quick walk to the beach and the main street in Waikiki. I would stay there again, we just picked a bad time, hotel renos leaving no pool makes all the difference in a holiday especially if you aren't a big fan of swimming in the ocean.The view on the listing is from the kitchen window. You can only see the ocean if you sit at the dining room table (one person view). I have 2 suggestions: If you have anyone staying more then a week you should have an automatic cleaning done at least once. The towels build up and are wet sitting for that long in the bathroom as there is no where else to but dirty laundry. Also you have what could be a great view to wake up to in the morning if you just switched the bed and dresser around, seems like a wasted view the way it is currently set up.The owners seem nice and were very quick to help with any questions we had. We really appreciated that!

Waikiki Banyan

I booked this unit for our daughter and her husband for our family vacation. Lee and Brandie were great to deal with but Koko Resorts that look after it for them were terrible. We couldn’t get into the room then when we did it had only been partly cleaned. Lee and Brandie were a great help helping us to get it all sorted and were gracious enough to give us our cleaning deposit and 1 night rent back which we appreciated. The unit is a little dated but as I said Lee and Brandie were great to deal with right from the start of our booking the unit.

Good time Hawaii

Nice condo w/ constant trade winds providing fresh air. Close to the beach and convenient urban provisions. Elevators were often terrible w/ waits from the 12th floor up to 10 min. Tub had no way to contain water so showers only. Otherwise excellent.

Our Stay at the Banyon

This property is in a good location and you don't really need a car unless you want to tour around (although there are tour companies that will do the driving for you). Very Walkable. The banyon is nice, but dated. Condo has pretty well everything you need. Great view of the pool and nice to sit on the lanai in the evening. The elevators though! So slow. It was not possible for us to take the stairs due to a disability. Try not to get an elevator between 10 am and noon as that is check out time. Parking is good, easy in and out. Laundry and garbage disposal right next to this unit. Corner view is nice - see Diamond Head on one side and Waikiki Beach sunsets on the other. Would stay here again.

Outdated

The location was great. The condo was very outdated, We were asked to turn a/c off every 6 hours during our stay and when we left the room. The fridge was not able to make ice , curtains were torn. We did enjoy the beach items! Luckily we were not in the room much.

A Wonderful Condo. Close to EVERYTHING!

We stayed 12 nights at this condo. Centrally located. One block from Waikiki! Everything is accessible by bus here…no need to get a car! If you’re a Sr. Citizen, you can get a bus pass which will allow you to travel anywhere for only $3.00 MAX per day! Definitely worth the trip to the Transit Station. The hosts are wonderful. Excellent communication! We would stay here again!!

Overall good place to stay , waking distance to restaurants and Waikiki beach.the only thing I notice is that the pool and hot tub is always full. I think a bunch of group would just decide to nest in the hot tub and not get out so others will have a turn too..

Perfect

This unit was perfect for our small family for a week stay. Close walk to the beach and everything else waikiki has to offer. It has just about everything youll need for the beach as well even a little cart to roll it all down there with (we didnt utilize it though). Our 3 year old slept on the pull out but I dont think an adult would find it very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The condo was very convenient to restaurants and the beach. It was very clean. It was cool enough during the day that the windows could be open and at night it was nice to have AC to sleep.

Fantastic Location!

This was our first time to Hawaii and this property was a perferct location. Even though we rented a car during our entire stay - used to visit North Shore, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and mutliple eating locations, this property was located within 5 minutes to the beach, and walking distance to shopping and mulitple eating locations as well. It was a great place to stay. Pearl Harbor was amazing, Diamond Head do the walk at 6 a.m. well worth getting up early! Visit Fete resturant for the best chicken sandwich, Hulua Pie at Dukes! I would stay here again.
