Overall, it was a good stay, but there are a few things that could be changed to make it exceptional. We would stay here again.
The good things:
1. The location is great. There are plenty shopping areas near by, and things to see, and just far enough away from the Honolulu hustle and bustle.
2. The view from the patio is very nice over the golf course.
3. The “starter supply” of essentials is very generous.
4. Overall, the unit is very well appointed, and done in proper Hawaiian style.
Not so good, but maybe fixable:
1. Tables and lighting: there is no coffee table, and no end tables, therefore no lamps, in the family/living room. This makes it tough to find a place to sit at which you can put your coffee cup down. And the lack of lamps makes the whole place a bit dim and dark.
2. The bath tub is very slick when wet with soapy water. And there’s no safety bar. It’s actually a little dangerous, especially for those of us in our 70s.
3. The ceiling light in the bedroom doesn’t turn on, and the fan seems to have only one speed, that being “helicopter”.
4. Hard to find the beach access. Apparently, Turtle Bay mgmt doesn’t want people finding it.
As I said, the unit is very nice, and we would stay here again.
