Not good valve for money
Cons:

The building decor is getting old. With the rain coming in they put towels on the window sill to help stopping water egress.
Free breakfast was very basic.

Une nuit reposante
Pros:

C’était le meilleur accueil que nous avons pu avoir à Waikiki, petits jus de fruits offerts à l’arrivée. Chambre très confortable et personnel chaleureux. Rien à dire, n’hésitez pas à réserver pour passer quelques nuits. Très bien situé

Cons:

Effectivement le petit déjeuner est peu varié mais c’est un bonus donc vous avez le choix de prendre le petit déjeuner dehors

Pros:

Praticidade! Localização excelente. Café, chá, limonada, gelo e água liberados 24 horas. Forno, microondas e local para fazer as refeições compradas fora. Fornecimento de cadeiras, toalhas e guarda-sóis para a praia! Fica a duas quadras pequenas da praia. Acesso direto a vários e bons restaurantes e pontos de compra.

Cons:

Não é ponto negativo, mas o café poderia iniciar as 6:30 pois na maioria dos passeios o horário de encontro para o transfer é 07:30.

Pros:

The Vive is an unassuming hotel just a few minutes walk from the beach on Kuhio. It feels more welcoming and less flashy than the big hotel towers. They do "ohana" better than anywhere in Waikiki, treating you like family. Everything you need for the beach is there- towels, chairs, umbrellas, toys, right down to bags to pack everything in, and staff members go the extra mile for guests. They have water refill machines in the lobby, which I wish ever hotel had, coffee, tea, and lemon water. There is a continental breakfast daily in the "living room".

Cons:

Some rooms are smaller, and their location on Kuhio means you will get some noise from the street. There is traffic noise in Waikiki everywhere you stay to some degree, and this didn't impact our vacation really.

Un court séjour, bien situé ;-)
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé, le personnel est très disponible. Le petit déjeuner est bon, même s’il n’est pas très varié.

Cons:

La literie est un peu molle, et la Clim fait beaucoup de bruit.

Meer dan prima!
Pros:

De ligging is geweldig, 2 min. Sta je op het strand. Alles kun je ook lenen: handdoeken, strandtas, klapstoeltjes enz...deze mag je trouwens ook gewoon een dag meenemen in de auto mocht je dan een leuk strandje tegenkomen!
De man van de valet is echt een lieverd! Super behulpzaam. Ontbijt is prima...gratis 24 per dag koffie/thee en sap.

Cons:

Het geluid van de airco is echt hard!! Uiteindelijk hebben wij hem lager gezet, en de andere kant op laten blazen dat ging beter.
