One always fears that your dream vacation is ruined by the claims you relied on were false or you just missed an important point before booking.
Wow, look at this honey. A condo (not hotel), on the beach, highrise with a view, and with stylish furniture. I'm a surfer so I was mainly interested in the board storage area with outdoor shower. This can not be true. How to avoid Waikiki food pricing for 3 meals a day? The Steak Shack and Sun Up were both at beach level within the footprint of the building ($9 steak or Chicken dinner, $6 breakfast special...Unreal!!). There was a mini shop (like an ABC) for a six pack and there was a Subway too.
We loved the place. The view from the room/deck was unreal. We witnessed other high rise buildings which only looked at each other. Our room looked over a park and out to the ocean and far away buildings. We preferred eating our take out dinner on the deck than going out to over hyped "to be seen" eateries.
I had a surfboard delivered for 1/2 the price of beach rentals. Surfed a few days and then we needed to vacate because of Hurricane Lane possible direct hit. We hated to leave but we left a day early to escape to the North Shore. The 'emergency' refund policy was unexpected.
We are Baja not Oahu people but should we ever return, we will stay at this location again or not go if we can not book!!
