Jean Michele Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment Tours and Activities

Access to the beach and a block away from Kalakaua avenue. We had partial ocean view from the 8th floor. It was great to wake up to that and watch the surfers be already in the water at 6 am! Housekeeping was good. Front desk also very friendly and quick to respond. We did check in at 1:30 am the next day since our connecting flight got delayed (We were supposed to check in at 11 pm). Our reservation was cancelled as a no show a few minutes before we arrived but we were able to reclaim it with a 15 minute wait. The property is a little dated, the tub being a sort of a mini walk in tub and the pool was Ok as well, but a good bang for the buck if you need to only get a good night's sleep. By no means a luxury hotel and they do have a nightly resort fee. The breakfast was pretty filling with eggs, salad and fruit being the staple. That was mixed in with potato fritters and egg fried rice on some days. Yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, bread made up the rest. At the end of the week, we did get tired of some of the stuff but overall a pretty filling free breakfast if you don't mind the repetition.All in all we had a pleasant stay.

I had the best 40th birthday a girl could ask for!!

The property was beautiful clean and plenty of towels ect. But didnt have toilet brushes. We needed more bin holders we where only given 2 for 10 days with kids. And a broom. Or..dust pan and brush to pick up fine stuff, sand in the toilets or kitchen area. A few more Coffee, Tea, Sugar, Salt and Pepper ingredients wouldnt go astray. Its is a lovely big lounge area to feel homely. Just need a bit more for thought...in the kitchen, save buying it. We ended up buying them.and donated them the young guy on the front desk...family man with 4 kids. And gave him a nice tip, for his help planning our way around the city, ubers calls...ect. Our plane arrived at 11.30 so we got in a 2.30 early...4.00 checks seems the norm...but if the room is ready...it shouldnt be a issue..a quick message and we where in. It made our day run more smoothly...sitting around in foyer waiting to get in...was hard. So the front desk allowed us to go into the pool...which we where eternal grateful for. The convenience of being near a major shopping center was great...quick dinner in food courts, made the family life easier for all. Waikiki was too busy for me...but each to there own. Rooms are spacious and views lovely...no need for Air Conditioning that high up.
