I thought this hotel and staff were great. The location could not be better. I was traveling alone and I felt comfortable and confident. The staff is right on with their opinions and advice on activities and dining location. I have told every one I know how perfect this place is!

you have a room that is NOT overlooking Kuhio Ave. Our first night was in a room on the 6th floor that overlooked Kuhio. It was impossible to sleep, and the slider did not close all of the way making the noise level unbearable. We requested a room change and was moved to the 8th floor facing the west side. This was much better, and we were able to enjoy the lanai the entire trip. For the most part the staff were very nice and helpful. The breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, Kona coffee and delicious pastries. You should know that there is a $20/day fee to park at Aqua Bamboo. However, you can park right next door for $12/day in a covered garage with unlimited access and you can come and go as you please.

i have stayed here 2 times now on surf getaways... they have a sauna for after surf to keep the pain away... and a bbq if you want to invite friends for dinner... the staff is really lovely locals who treat you like a good friend with great hospitality... the pool area has a chill out secret zen garden vibe... the location is great you can walk to the beach rent a board at koah board sports on your way for some long boarding or walk the other way and your in local hoods were there are great restaurants and health-food stores.... north shore is a beautiful drive away and its easy to rent a car for the day... i recommend this spot highly... not so touristy and yukky... the rooms are clean and tastefully decorated as is the entire hotel.... kind of shocking for the price... in a good way.... enjoy!

The thing we liked most about the hotel is the how you the staff gets to know you and you them over the week of stay. This is almost not possible in the big chain hotels. Hotel: 1. Very close to the beach (just a 5 min walk). Leads to right to the duke statue depending the direction you take. 2. Very close to the bus stop (if you plan to use the bus; more on the bus in my Oahu trip review) 3. Hotel decor is very modern with an Asian influence (thailand is what the hotel wants us to believe) 4. The pool area and cabanas are nice (never used it though) Rooms: 1. The rooms has modern look with flat screen TV. 2. The washroom is decent 3. The only complaint I have it the AC. I could not barely reach the on/off switch (I am 5' 9""). If I had to adjust the temp; I had to use some other extension (like a comb or a pen) 4. The lanai (balcony) was big enough to put your chairs and kick back (we did that when there was no power in Oahu for 12 hrs). Staff and other amenities 1. Very enthusiastic 2. Parking is 22 bucks a day if you valet or 20 bucks if you park across the street 3. Breakfast is ok 4. Pool and Spa services are on-premises; but we never used it All in all a good value for money.
