Waikane Holidays

Thanks it was a great trip

The best feature of my stay was the location and the view! My unit had a panoramic view of the Koolau mountains and a peek-a-view of the bay towards Kuuloa Ranch. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette had tools enough for me to make a simple breakfast each morning. The flowering shrubs provided a pleasant aroma and birds and water features soothing background sound. The walls are quite thin so I could hear the guests in an adjacent room very clearly. I appreciated the air conditioner but disliked how loud it was so it would have been good to have a standing fan to move the air around at night and a screen for the patio door to allow more air flow. The resort does have a limited number of fans for quests but I was unlucky and they were all in use when I requested one. To sleep at night, I turned off the air conditioner, opened the windows, and used earplugs as my unit was next to one of the parking areas and some hotel guests returning after quiet hours were not respectful of sleepers. If you enjoy nature and greenery, this hotel is an ideal choice as it is convenient to the beaches and natural attractions of the windward side while less than 30 minutes away from major grocery stores, restaurants and shopping.

The pool area was nice as well as the lobby

The Royal Kuhio is in a great spot in Honolulu. It's about 5 to 10 mins from the beach and is one street off from the main tourist area of shops. Would go back in an instant.

No coffee in the morning. No gym. Had to walk a few blocks to use shared gym. Mini split ac was not working properly. I reported it and they sent a tech to look at it and he was not able to repair. I was able to fix it by cleaning filter. Pool was down for a day.
