Some good and some bad. Decent location but dirty. The courtyard was cute (but loud until 10pm every night - the walls aren’t insulated and so the noise came into the room. After 10 and before 9am it was great!) The birds were chirping in the lush greenery - it felt a little like being in a treehouse and only a block and a half from Waikīkī. The fish were a fun and unexpected addition. We had an issue with a dirty bed and the staff were friendly and addressed quickly. The $40/day for an air bed was aggressive. Save some $$ and head to Target (1/2 block a way) and grab one! The rugs were very dirty and stained. They were so dirty they were sticky in some places and the shower floors were stained. We all wore slippers everywhere and sand shoes in the shower. The ceiling fan was an essential addition to the comfort of the room and worked very well. We did try the food and beverages from the bar which were good. If you are around during the day, the guava slushees are delish! We made good use of the beach chairs and boogie boards which were all in good shape. We liked being close to all the restaurants of Waikīkī just wish the space was a bit more clean.

The bartender at night (on 4/20) was very rude and didn’t even acknowledge us except to tell us to move our chair out of the well. We are all in the industry and were ready to spend money and tip well. The server on the other hand was very friendly and took our order and closed us out no problem. Additionally, there was tree trimming on 4/21 which we were not informed about until the night before. The entire bar and pool area was closed all morning/early afternoon. The rest of the staff was friendly and the hotel room was clean.

Unfortunately, the experience did not meet acceptable standards, particularly concerning cleanliness and hygiene. There were both live and dead cockroaches in the room, which was extremely unsettling. Even more concerning, my child and I both woke up with insect bites. While I cannot confirm whether they were from bedbugs, the presence of pests in a guest room is unacceptable and raises serious health and safety concerns. This situation caused a great deal of discomfort and distress during our stay. I have uploaded some pictures of them here
