Great value for the great view, and super convenient location

Property was easy to find as well as get in and out of parking wise. Elevators were easily accessible and close to where we chose to park. Nice to schlep our stuff up to the condo. We did have a couple building evacuations (I'll email the host directly), but thankfully WE didn't actually evacuate. An abundance of clean, soft towels was appreciated and the shampoos were amazing for my picky hair! I'm actually going to see if I can find it on amazon. Internet tv isn't our norm, so it took us a big bit to fumble through to find the National Championship game, but we found it! (I know tv on vaca, but it was a rain afternoon and a big game) Location was great - simply down the elevators, by the front desk, we were on the sidewalk, then one block to the beach and beach walk. Walked pretty much everywhere and only took the car to two further away excursions.

Great view, good location, loved the parking being included. Would easily stay there again.

This was an amazing stay! Less than 5min walk to the sand, surrounded by all kinds of dining shops and things to so. View was spectacular, patio is big and spacious, room was more than big enough with stunning views at every window.
There were lots of extra towels, a closet full of beach items, kitchen had anything you could need to cook a meal on site. Property owner Howard communicated very well, gave all information we needed in detail and was beyond kind! Room is conveniently located next to trash and laundry, but you do not hear or smell anything.
This properly made our trip for sure! When we come back to Waikiki we will definitely try to stay here again as well as recommended it to anyone we know is visiting. Thank you Howard for allowing us to enjoy this place for our honeymoon!

We have stayed at the Waikiki Banyan multiple times over the last 15 years. We have used this property no less than five or six of those times. This is a very nice unit with outstanding views. The owner, Howard, has always been very responsive and it is easy to deal with. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Our stay here was excellent! The photos of the ocean views really don’t do this place justice!!!! We got in late at night and when we woke up our first morning we were totally taken aback by the incredible ocean view and sunrise over diamond head which you can see from the kitchen. We spent every morning enjoying our coffee on the lanai. I’ve been to Waikiki 4 or 5 times now and this has been the best stay yet (we usually have stayed in tower 1 of the banyan). I also love how this place just felt like a home, more than a hotel. Thank you Howard for being a great host/answering questions fast. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for their next oahu getaway! We will absolutely be back! Hopefully sooner than later!!!

This property and unit were amazing! Complex was quiet and the grounds very clean. This corner unit had breath taking views. Shopping and restaurants abundant. Groceries nearby as well as Starbucks. The owner, Howard, was on top of any maintenance issues! Definitely will be back!

We really enjoyed the constant flow of fresh air from this 34th floor corner unit with lots of windows.
Nice distance view of the ocean and buildings in Waikiki. Short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants in Waikiki and Kapahulu.

The place was very clean with plenty of kitchen items if you plan to have a meal or reheat some leftovers. It was nice to have beach items, boogie boards- beach chairs, in the condo. As somebody who has difficulty sleeping whenever I stay in hotels, my wife and I found the bed very comfortable with plenty of pillows. Being 2 blocks from the beach, free parking and a great balcony view to enjoy while having a morning coffee are also pluses of renting this unit. I would not hesitate to stay hear again. 1 last thing, the elevators are fine and not slow like somebody stated in a previous review.

Beautiful views in every direction! Amazing being so high up in Tower 2 on the 34th floor. Peaceful lanai and sounds from the ocean. Able to see the sunset from the bedroom and kitchen windows. Spacious and clean. Convenient location near the ocean and restaurants. Lovely large dining room table. As an added bonus, it had boogie boards, beach mats, chairs, umbrella, and beach toys - we added a professional snorkel set and waterproof phone pouch to the mix. Smart TV for logging into your subscriptions (when we had our niece and nephew over a few nights and they enjoyed the comfy pull out sofa and watching Finding Nemo). The kitchen had all the essentials (coffee maker, tea kettle, pots, pans, utensils) although we did borrow a larger cutting board, baking sheets, and knives for cooking from our family who were staying in other units. Only downside was the balcony door was hard to open and close, and didn't seal at the top. We'll let the owner know, as I'm sure it's something their agents can fix. We would certainly stay here again and recommend Howard's condo to others.

This is a wonderful place to stay. It has all of the comforts of home. Howard took good care of making sure that all questions were answered and resolved. I would recommend staying here.

I have been to Honolulu 4 times and I know how the price range I have to pay for a good stay.
Still I believe the property needs better management. The floor was sticky and not cleaned. Kitchen was small and old. Cooking pans were uncoated and old as well. So we had to clean the floor by ourselves. We bought a pan and disposable dishes to cook. Bathroom was small and not cleaned well.
Definitely in a great location and has amazing view but worse among 4 properties I have stayed in Waikiki with similar price range.

We had a great vacation and loved staying at this property. Proximity to the beach with amazing ocean/Diamond Head views helped make our stay enjoyable. It was always great to come back to cold AC after a hot day in the sun. Thanks again!

Loved the view
5.0
The view from the property is spectacular. Every windows had either ocean view of diamondhead view.
Cleanliness of the bathroom(hair in the strainer) and water pressure could be better but the view make up for it. You can’t beat the price even if you are able to get Kamaaina discount.
The property had all the beach items you will need. The owner was kind and easy to reach as well.
Only major downside was we never wanted to leave the room.

Of the many places and short term rental properties on this and other islands, Howard’s condo was too-notch. Clean, well-maintained, conveniently located, we’re all important factors when we search for a place and Howard’s immaculate unit exceeded our expectations. Mahalo for getting the leaking faucet fixed right away. We enjoyed the great views of the ocean, mountains, and pool, Howard! We’d definitely love to stay here when we’re back on Oahu. Mahalo!

Convenient access to ocean. Older high rise building with basic amenities, faucets leak and tv/air conditioner hard to operate. Contacted VRBO and owner reached out to resolve. Could not reach local agents

Good location and a clean and comfortable condo, Howard was easy to work with and check-in/out was a breeze. The building is dated but well maintained, and some mentioned slow elevators but we found them to be quick for a high rise building. Free parking a very nice perk and we would stay here again if we were to return to Oahu.
5.0
Great unit & location. Spacious, inviting & great view of the water. We have stayed in 6-8 different units at the Banyan and this was the best one we’ve had in the price range. Well worth it & Howard was very easy to work with. Only suggestion would be to perhaps have a few more towels and a replacement set of sheets available for a family of four for two weeks. All in all, we would recommend it & wouldn’t hesitate to return to this unit!

The place was in a great location with great views. Free parking was a plus too! The condo itself needs some updating and it could have been cleaner.

Had a fantastic stay here. Stunning view from the 34th floor. Would definitely come back.
5.0
This condo has nice views and was a good match for what we wanted. We've been to Waikiki several times and would choose to return to this condo. We wanted to be in walking distance to the surf beach and to have a pleasant place to hang out in case the weather isn't perfect. The hotel is a bit dated but the condo itself has a nice feel and is spacious. We spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony...its a nice spot. We are fairly budget conscious so this was a good fit when comparing the options. The owner was incredibly nice to work with when were thought our flight was going to be cancelled. That was much appreciated.

Enjoyed the stay like it’s location to things we like to do although the building is starting to show. It’s aged could use some upgrading elevators are slow and could use a good cleaning

We really enjoyed our stay, walking distance to beach, and the on site pool and playground were great for kids with extra energy to run off.

I would definitely rent this condo again. The only thing that needs attention is the inoperative deadbolt lock and the security key that fit nothing. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Banyon. This corner unit is compact and has great views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. The accommodations were very comfortable for 4 adults and it was great to have air conditioning! It is a super location and easy to get around in busy Honolulu! Easy access to the highway and lots of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood.

Building is old with tired hallways and elevator but the unit is nice, clean, on a high floor, quiet corner with partial ocean view as expected from pictures. The included parking spot was very nice for Waikiki. Highly recommended and would book again. Check-in/out was very easy! Thank you!

Highly recommend staying here. You won’t regret it. The view is even more stunning than the photos reflect. The breeze that comes through from being so high up is incredible. Location is perfect. Close to everything you could need and want. The unit is very well stocked and cozy. Sofa bed and main bed are comfortable as is the furniture in general. The host is awesome. I would definitely rent this condo again.

Enjoyable stay at the Banyan
We’ve stayed at the Banyan before so we’re familiar with the facility and Koko Resorts management. We really enjoyed this unit - great views, corner unit, next to laundry room, furniture in good condition, 2 televisions with access to Netflix. Howard was very responsive and check in/out was a breeze. The location is great - easy access to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Pool was nice and was not overly crowded.
The parking pass is one of the main selling points of staying at the Banyan. Plenty of parking stalls and easily accessible from both towers.
I would rate Koko Resorts 3/5 for this stay. They didn’t have enough clean linens for our unit in addition to some other things they could have done better. Customer service was not great this time around.
Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and we would return.
