Cons first (to be up front):
$50 per night for parking (required valet) n their tiny lot.
$40 daily resort fee (you can get beach towels and chairs, no umbrellas).
Hotel restaurant was always empty but always told at least a 20-30 min wait???
Beds are pretty terrible, soooooo soft, lumpy, felt half hammock / half mattress, not flat.
Storage for surfboards is terrible, tiny, skinny awkward closet (it's actually not for surfboards). I would never want to store my own board there.
Pros:
Super friendly and helpful staff, beau5iful lobby, view of Diamond Head wonderful, cute area, nice beach out front, quiet but walkable to Waikiki, great surf shop on site.
Despite the cons, I would considee staying there again.
