Fodor's Review:

You'll find the elegance of a luxury all-suite condominium combined with the intimacy and service of a boutique hotel at this Kalakaua Avenue address. Facing Kuhio Beach, this 40-story resort offers spacious (1,100- to 1,400-square-foot) one- and two-bedroom suites with gourmet kitchens and windows that open to sweeping views of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean. Amenities include twice-daily maid service, washer-dryers, and spacious private lanai. Pros: Very large rooms—big enough to move into. Cons: No on-site restaurants, you must cross a busy street to the beach.

Reviewed by richsf from San Francisco on 4/13/07
We stayed here for 9-days w/ kids & senior parents. Consensus: Solid condo hotel w/ enormous rooms & good amenities. But not "luxurious," as some guidebooks claim. Very good overall.
Positives:
(1) Enormous living space (2) Excellent ocean views (3) Good-sized lanai (4) Free wired internet (5) Free, friendly valet (6) Washer/dryer in unit (7) 2x daily maid service (8) "Bridged" twin beds convert to king (9) Kid-friendly pool (3' to 5' deep) (10) Good coupon book on arrival for Polynesian Cult. Ctr, Bowfin (11) Free sandpails for kids (12) Free room upgrade, 1/2 bottle of sparkling (Korbel) & Godiva chocolates for seniors (13) Free daily paper (Honolulu Advertiser) (14) Service very good overall (15) Some luxury appointments (Bose Wave radio in living room, 3 TVs, DVD player, cordless phone)
Negatives:
(1) Needs update soon; everything in lobby shows wear; rooms also show some wear. Tile (not granite) counters; old cabinetry; popcorn ceilings. (2) Limited common area/lobby (3) Not in the same class Ritz, Four Seasons, or even a high-end Marriott or Hyatt. (4) 1 bad service experience. Check-in person rudely responded, "Where do you get these ideas?" when asked if he could bridge the twin beds. Of course, housekeeping bridged beds following day. He also neglected to provide sandpails or passes for kids and hesitated about confirming crib setup.
