This was my second time staying in this unit, and it was just as nice as I remembered. The first time was in April 2022 when I celebrated my 50th birthday with friends while running the Hapalua Half Marathon. When my family decided to vacation in Hawaii to celebrate our son's high school graduation, I immediately told my husband that we had to stay at the Banyan.The location is hard to beat! It includes parking, which is a huge bonus in Waikiki, and it's less than a 5-minute walk to Waikiki Beach and Kalākaua Avenue. There's also a Catholic church just 0.2 miles away. We were able to walk to the Honolulu Zoo ( 15 minute walk), and we only needed our rental car for trips to places like the Byodo-In Temple and the Dole Plantation.The full kitchen was another great feature. I was on vacation, so I didn't want to spend time cooking, but it was perfect for storing drinks, snacks, and reheating leftovers from the many great restaurants nearby. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was also incredibly convenient during our 7-day stay.The pool was open but we did not use the pool. The elevators can be slow or fill up so we parked on level 5 and just had to walk up and down one flight of stairs to get to our car. The mini store & the coffee shop are so convenient.This condo is comfortable, clean, and in an ideal location for enjoying everything Waikiki has to offer. We already miss Hawaii and are looking forward to staying here again. Thank you for another fantastic stay!
