We stayed at this unit for 1 week in mid August
Overall, we had a very nice stay. We are glad we rented this unit and we will return again.
This is not a luxury unit and is certainly compact, but given the practical needs of a family, we ended up enjoying our stay here more than our stay at the two bigger resorts in Waikiki. We pretty much found what we needed in the unit and that saves time...and time is the most precious commodity when going on vacation.
A few comments:
Living area has a full kitchen. Kitchen has good quality pots and pans, utensils, plates etc.
The 2 electric burners work well and heat up fast. Unit also has a microwave, a toaster oven (very handy) and a rice cooker (which we did not use). Everything is there you need to make a nice quick meal for the family in case you are not inclined to eat out and deal with high priced food and long lines.
Bedroom has a solid bunk bed...perfect for kids. Bedroom was fully stocked with sheets, pillows etc. Check the closet for beach chairs, umbrellas that previous guests had left behind.
Bathroom was nice and clean. Hot water was always available in the shower. If nothing else, the hot water was a little strong and the knob was a little sensitive, so be careful when the kids take a shower. Water pressure was excellent.
Future guests should definitely check all the cabinets...you'll might be pleasantly surprised to find something you thought you needed and were perhaps planning to buy.
Parking is well priced. Space is on the 4th floor and visible from the unit.
Pool looks small but is actually bigger than some 5 star hotel pools (as we later found out).
Waikiki beach is 2 short blocks from the unit...a 5 minute walk with 2 kids in tow.
Sofabed was a little lumpy at first, but I slept like a log on it. I suppose relaxing on a beach wears you out at the end of the day :)
Minor issues:
Wish housekeeping provided more bath towels. We only got 2 new ones every 3 days.
Need some more and newer kitchen knives. The Santoku knife was getting dull and we did not see a sharpener. Some larger stronger pillows would be nice. The ones I slept on were too small.
For us, it was wake up, shower, eat a quick breakfast and be in the car on the way to the beach in less than an hour. Come back, wash up, eat dinner and head out and see the wonderful lights, people and energy of Waikiki at night. This was our routine and this unit allowed us to practice it every day...we had a very nice time.
