Second time there, so we knew what we were getting for the money.
Room overlooking nicely landscaped pool area; hot tub; two gas grills around many umbrella-topped tables; full lanai; fully-equipped kitchen; central laundry room; great staff; beach/dining/shopping/food stores within 1-3 blocks.
Saved enough money here to do all those romantic dinners, sunset cruises, night spots, tours, and car rentals to the North and East Shores, etc. Got some shrimp, steaks, and wine, and had two of the best dinners of the trip right there.
Things to note - A/C unit in each room - ours was noisy and not too strong; not 'full' maid service each day; no elevators (3 story max); some rooms face out to street (not too pretty); two blocks to beach (easy walk); $4/day fee for safe, coffee, phone added; pool a bit chilly (but ocean is perfect!); sun for about 5 hours/day (10-3) in pool area (but ocean is perfect!).
Overall, as long as you know what you are getting for the money, this is the best deal in Waikiki we know of.
