My wife and I found this condo to celebrate our one year anniversary for a total of a nine night stay. Overall, we were more than pleased with the room and our experience in Hawaii. We highly recommend and would stay here again if returning to the island.
Pros:
-Wonderful views of the mountains and the city lights from the bedroom and living room. Sunrise is particularly beautiful. Being on the 37th floor helps give the great views.
-All the furnishings are brand new and beautiful amenities as well. The owner really took the time and spent the money to provide an excellent experience. I'm talking about having aluminum foil for cooking, oven mits, oven pans, full set of silverware, plates, mugs, cups, salt and pepper, cooking spray, etc. Etc. Above and beyond what we expected.
-comfortable bed, pillows, and furniture
-hot water and good water pressure for showers
-extras provided such as beach towels, beach chairs, ironing board, iron, laundry bag, etc.
-access to pool, hot tub, grill and lounge area
-2 block walk to the beach
-walking distance to anything and everything in Waikiki. Shopping, restaurants, etc.
-includes parking pass (normally $30.00/day)
-cafe and small market in lobby of the banyon
-well maintained property
-hundreds of stations on the TV to choose from including movies
-smooth operation overall including communication by owner and recommendedations given for visit
-beautiful bright green parakeets that visited us in the mornings
-plenty of towels
-very reasonable price
- switch powered blinds and remotes for fans
-coupon code to stay again
Cons:
-A couple of times the sound wasn't working when watching the satellite/cable box. I don't think it was a TV issue because the over the air local stations always worked with sound
-the key didn't work for the men's sauna and the womens was out of order
-one night the fire alarm went off and the entire condo had to evacuate for 2 hours. The fire dept. Didn't know why it went off. Maybe was pulled by a guest?
-The AC unit was a bit loud
-that we had to leave
As mentioned, beautiful, brand new, comfortable and would highly recommend. Thanks for making our anniversary special
