We loved the Waikiki Banyan condo complex. It has an amazing 6th floor with a playground, pool, hot tub, tennis courts, barbecues and tables. Not to mention its a few blocks from the beach, restaurants (like my favorites Maguro spot, Five Star poke and Musubi cafe for delish cheap local eats) and to my conference at the Alohilani resort. The Waikiki Banyan was much better for families compared to a hotel. We loved having a separated room (by French doors), bathroom with a tub, and a kitchen! Plus there was plenty of pool/beach gear with new chairs and toys. They had a pack n play as well. We really enjoyed the welcome package of coffee, tea, and chocolates. Very thoughtful. Some feedback includes making it easier to contact before booking, though communication was much better when we arrived. One consideration to update the condo would be replacing the carpet which seemed worn. My parents rented another unit with wood flooring which was very nice. Maybe even consider a rug. Some blackout curtains because of the city lights could be an added benefit as well.
Overall a great stay! Thanks again for our stay!
