North Shore – beautiful drive; got a bit crowded on the road, but a beauty of a ride none-the-less.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
Unit Features<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nWe stayed in a studio\u00a0unit. The unit was well sized and absorbed the bosslady and I\u00a0with no problems. The kitchen was fully stocked. \u00a0There is no dishwasher, and maid service was on the fourth day of your stay. The unit seemed pretty well\u00a0maintained.\u00a0It’s definitely not a new building, but it is still comfortable.<\/p>\n
The Resort<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nLocation, Location, Location. The resort is located just off the famed Waikiki beach. \u00a0Parking – sucks. \u00a0The best deal is the valet parking, which costs an arm and a leg ($28 \/day) but is very convenient.\u00a0This resort is located right inside Waikiki. \u00a0I would not recommend renting a car for the entire week. \u00a0There is no official shuttle from the airport to the resort, I was told to take a cab for around $40. \u00a0From the resort, there is a shuttle for around $15. \u00a0I think next time we stay here, we will make arrangements to get to the resort from the airport, and rent a car on site if needed.<\/p>\n
The bus line is an effective way of getting around. \u00a0To get around the strip of Waikiki – use the pink line. \u00a0$2.00 every time you board the bus, so max would be $4.00 p\/person round trip, vice the $28 valet service + rental fees.<\/p>\n
The staff were friendly and responsive to our wants. \u00a0They had a soft push on the owner’s update – but one simple no and that was that. \u00a0There were no onsite activities, as this is a a multi-use building. \u00a0The pool was always busy; but we’re here for the beach and walked the beach daily. \u00a0There are shops on the first floor, and reasonably priced.<\/p>\n
Other Details: Free in room internet, laundry was onsite. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.<\/p>\n
We did not encounter any resort related problems while staying there.<\/p>\n
I think this resort is – awesome! \u00a0we’ll be back. \u00a0I saw couples, families and singles all here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
