Great location and room, but...

Liked: Excellent location, lovely room with great view.
Disliked: Food was really not good, tried a couple of times and was very disappointed each time. Very expensive with minimal options, and poor availability for hotel guests. Staff not particularly helpful for any of the questions I had. Housekeeping very intrusive - woke me on three different occasions during my stay.

Great start to a fantastic...

Liked: The suit had the most stunning views ever. Mountains, ocean and Waikiki beach ... all visible. Everything was very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Young and stylish hotel feel. The staff was very attentive and friendly. You can book surf lessons in the hotel and the area is perfect for lessons. Little shop attached to the hotel is also helpful to get water, snacks, medication, postcards, etc.
Disliked: The passage ways outside the rooms could be a bit nicer. But all very clean.

Perfect location and hotel

Liked: The room was perfect for a couple. The view from the balcony was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for our belongings. The air conditioner ran at a comfortable temperature which is not always the case. We loved having the beach right at the property and appreciated the beach chairs and towels. The water was perfect for swimming and we did enjoy watching the seal take a swim each morning. The lobby area was breezy and a beautiful place to gather before our daily activities. The Hau Tree restaurant was really special and I loved getting my iced coffee from the provisions store every morning. The on-site convenience store was a real bonus. We loved that the hotel was a bit further from the main street but it was an easy and enjoyable walk to get into town. I enjoyed yoga with Veronica, it was perfectly chill and adaptable for beginners and more experienced yogis.
Disliked: I requested to book 5 spots for paddleboarding via the booking.com app before we arrived. The hotel asked for my email address so they could confirm the booking. I provided the details straight away but nobody replied to confirm the booking. When we arrived, I asked about the booking and was told that the booking was not confirmed so we could only have two people do the paddleboarding. While I was disappointed, I was most upset by the way that the staff spoke to me when I asked the question.
