"Excellent resort a little away from hustle of Waikiki Beach. Close to Ala Moana beach and the several harbors where many off shore tours leave from Across the street from the Ala Moana mall so plenty of shopping and food close by In addition one block away from both Target and Walmart if you forget something Really enjoyed the room, and the pool area is an excellent place to wind down after a day on beach or around the island And don’t miss the Sway restaurant for a late night meal or breakfast. One of the best “hotel” restaurants i enjoyed in my travels"
