Oahu Revealed – Resort Reviews

A skinny condominium building (only four units per floor) with giant rooms that are almost across the street from the beach. All rooms above the 18th floor have tasty ocean views. (Even those below 18 are fairly good.) Consistent and pleasing furnishings. Staff is...

New management has taken over yet again at this hotel, and they have turned things around and made this into a more contemporary destination. They truly managed to highlight the details of this historical old hotel. The rooms are sort of mid-century, retro, beach...
