El night club lo estropea todo
Pros:

Excelente ubicación cerca de la playa. La cocina está equipada con todo lo necesario y te proporciona el material que quieras para ir a la playa (sillas, sombrilla, tablas...). Personal de recepción muy agradable.

Cons:

La habitación no es nada confortable, las camas son incómodas y lo peor de todo es que debajo del hotel hay un night club que tiene la música hasta la madrugada y hace que vibre toda la habitación, dificultando el descanso.

Pros:

Good price compared to the location but clearly an outdated building. They have made good use of the space, and it can be slightly cramped but it works if you’re doing a budget trip to Hawaii. A plus is the stocked kitchenette, you don’t need to eat out everyday and can heat up leftovers easily.

Cons:

It is an outdated building and the AC took a long long time to cool, but to be fair we were on the top floor during peak summer so it got quite heated.

Bad
Cons:

TV was visibly damaged when I got to the room, it was also well over 95 degrees, in the room as the ac was completely turned off for this room. The TV would not connect to the wifi, the manager had to come into my room to connect said it could only be connected to via the main office, I left for a few hrs the next day only to find the TV was disconnected yet again. The management refused to help. I've stayed at this hotel multiple times and this was by far the worst experience.
