We would recommend this hotel because the amenities fee provides breakfast every morning 7am to 9:30 (oatmeal, fruit, eggs, protein option, toast, juice, and coffee/tea) and beach gear (beach towels, umbrella, toys, boogie board, mats, beach cooler bag). The customer service was good and the location you can't beat - just walk down Uluniu avenue and you are at the center of Waikiki beach. From a room perspective it was very basic - we were 2 people [ Standard Room, 1 Queen Bed, City View] and it was pretty small, just a bed and bathroom with very little storage room. This was OK for us, because we only needed a place to sleep - we were out hiking and exploring all day so spent very little time in the room. The value for us was the breakfast and beach gear. Many hotels don't include this with their amenity fees and instead you get yoga classes etc. and have to pay addition for these services. For example, if you go down to Waikiki they charge up to $80 USD for 1 day to rent 2 chairs and an umbrella. The bus station is right outside the hotel - very convenient as we got a Holo card $32 per Adult to use the bus transportation for 1 week. Our flight was leaving at 10 pm, and they offered to store our luggage all day (no charge). Based on the entirety of what this hotel offers, and the fact that we met other travellers that have re-booked this hotel many times (which is always nice to hear), we would return to Vive Hotel in the future!
