We had an amazing vacation in Hawaii, but unfortunately our stay at this property was disappointing. For the price we paid, the condo did not match the listing or our expectations.
The Expedia listing stated parking was $23 per night, but it was actually $45. The air conditioning barely worked, even when set to 64°, and the room had a strong musty smell throughout our stay. The refrigerator and freezer also did not keep food properly cold.
The condo showed significant wear, with damaged walls, no bathroom exhaust fan, and water constantly dripping onto our lanai from the unit above. The listing advertised four beach chairs, but there was only one, and it was in poor condition.
One thing that surprised us was how little privacy there was on the lanai. The neighboring patios are extremely close together, so you’re essentially sitting right next to other guests. Our neighbors were also behaving in ways that made us uncomfortable, so we rarely enjoyed using the outdoor space.
We were given only two thin blankets for four guests, two rolls of toilet paper for a week-long stay, and no towel service. Instead, we had to wash our own towels, which was never disclosed in the listing. And expensive!!! $8 per load!
The location was excellent, and we still made wonderful memories, but the property itself needs better maintenance and a more accurate listing so future guests know what to expect. Parking is a nightmare as well.
