It was our first time in Hawaii and it was a wonderful time. One of the main reasons was staying at the Waikiki Banyan. The location was excellent, so close to everything and so reasonably priced. The condominium had some additional items we did not expect, like beach chairs, umbrellas, even underwater snorkeling equipment. They were a pleasant surprise and parking was a great plus! Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you for being an excellent host.

We had a wonderful stay …thank you to our hosts!

We highly recommend staying here and will stay again. Bright and clean. View of the sunrise is amazing . The beds were very comfortable and fit our family of four with room to spare. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need and more. Beach gear is provided along with a four wheel cart to carry all your gear to the beach. The beach is two blocks away, and food and stores are within walking distance. We loved the free parking pass ( usually 43 a day) Communication was fast and friendly. Price is very reasonable. Elevators are upgraded so we didn’t have a problem with wait times being on the 29th floor. Can’t wait to go back !

Overall, it was just okay. It was reasonably clean upon arrival, except that the tables and counters needed a wipe off. The high floor location and free parking are great. The beach chairs and boogie board were nice. The amenities in the kitchen are sorely lacking. The two beds were not full size, they were strangely shorter and less wide than a standard double/full. The weirdest thing was one day I got a call from Stanley asking if he could come in to get something from the closet. I told him that we were not at the unit and he said that he would just come in to the entry hall to get whatever he needed from the closet. I asked him if it could wait a few hours until we got back and he said no, then that he would get whatever he needed from his house instead. (Why not just do that to begin with?) I found this oddly unsettling for the rest of the trip. For check out, the instructions were not excessive but I did not appreciate the threat of charging my credit card if the level of “neat and tidy” that was expected did not meet their standards. I found this ironic since I had cleaning to do upon arrival of visibly dirty table and counters. Finally, the AC unit did not adequately cool the unit; we bought a fan to help move the air and kept all the curtains closed during the days which kept it from being too warm but it was hardly cool. In fairness it was August but the existing AC unit (with its dirty filter) was not adequate for the size of rooms it needed to cool.
