Housekeeping review
Pros:

Loita J, has been amazing. She is a very sweet person who will take care of your room and always do it with a smile. Everytime me and my wife would step out of the room in the morning, she would ask me if we wanted cleaning in our room. We are beyond thankful for her service. :) we love her

LOITA J. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Pros:

Staff was so great! Shout out to housekeeper Loita J. She is such a humble nana, who kept offering to clean our room but we are the type when we travel and our kids make a mess, we clean up after them regardless of where we are at. She was kind enough to let us use the vacuum so my husband could clean up himself. Whatever we needed; housekeeping staff like Loita were kind enough to give us bags for trash, laundry to haul to the laundry room etc.

Best property on Waikiki
Pros:

The property is in a prime location, the staff is great, and the rooms are clean. What more could you ask for?

Everyone on the property makes you feel welcome, their rooftop pool and bar always has djs and live music going for the days you don’t feel like going to the beach.

They have beach towels, chair rentals etc (believe that they’re free just first come first serve).

Parking you have 2 choices, valet or self park. They’re almost the same price… that’s my only irk is that although we paid in advance for a week of parking, sometimes the self park area is busy due to events and visitors so the parking during peak hours may be sparse.

That being said, most of the parking is actually pretty spacious.

The longboard club has great breakfast! I’ve been sleeping in and missing it, but did get a few mornings in.

I’ve been here 3 times so far out of my 5 times visiting Oahu, 10/10 would recommend.
