We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The unit was comfortable and met all our needs.

Looks ok in pictures, but this is poor value. It was quite dirty, with surfaces that were only lightly cleaned. Items of food left in the fridge freezer. Toilet unleaned. Check-in was after the advertised time, so we had to wait in the foyer as they cleaned it late. The cleaners alleged the agent said we were arriving at night. We arrived at 0700. There is nowhere to store luggage if you arrive early, and the agent is unhelpful and has very poor communication. Very noisy with site construction next door. The bed is comfy is the only positive. Stayed 11 days and no change of bed linen. Four towels meant we had to launder towels at our cost. This is extremely poor value and not a dreamy place at all.

The room we stayed in was remarkably spacious, providing ample room to move around comfortably. The host excelled in communication, making it easy to check in and address any questions we had during our stay. Inside the room, there was a portable fan that kept the air circulating, along with a vacuum cleaner and a well-stocked collection of kitchen supplies—such thoughtful touches that created an atmosphere of abundance and convenience.Our bathroom was particularly luxurious, featuring both a bathtub and a shower, as well as two sinks, which made it easy for us to get ready without feeling rushed. We were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of trash bags provided, which was a practical addition that we truly appreciated.One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning views we enjoyed, especially during sunrise and sunset. The colors painted across the sky were simply breathtaking. To add to the convenience, there was a laundry washer and dryer located on the same floor, allowing us to easily manage our laundry without any hassle. Overall, it was a great room that exceeded our expectations in many ways.

We stayed for just a few nights. The condo was nicely located and within walking distance to all the Waikiki attractions. The studio is small, but definitely isn’t lacking in lanai space. Three total balconies. There is a restaurant on site and also many eateries near by. My only concern was the cleanliness of the pool, but that is not in control of the host but the property management.

This condo is just behind Hyatt Regency and has the same view. We had breakfast looking at the Waikiki beach. This property was even better than how it was explained online. AC was strong and bed was so comfortable. Will definitely return when we come back to Waikiki.

Place is cute but the bathroom needs some serious tlc. Missing shower curtain hooks, used shower liner, and dirty shower curtain. Liners need to be replaced after every guest or ran through the wash. Shower curtain also needs to be washed after every guest. Parking is a nightmare and front desk staff is of no help. They only recommend parking garages that are attached to hotels that say guest parking only. Other than that, place is cute and in the heart of Waikiki close to the beach. Nice area

The location was excellent - in walking distance to everything. We didn’t need a car. We used ride share for anything like transportation to the airport. Just two blocks to one of the most famous beaches in the world, where you can share the ocean and views with people who are paying 1,000 a night for the fancy hotels!The Bamboo is a great place to stay if you are not picky. My family and I just wanted a comfortable place to lay our heads, take a shower after the beach, and be able to keep things in the small kitchen they provide. We were happy. Also, the staff at the desk is very friendly. We felt very safe here. There is a lot of street noise, but we had no problem with that. Bring noise canceling headphones if you need to!

We were in Honolulu with our adult daughter to attend the wedding of a niece. We liked the spacious bathroom (2 showers and 2 sinks) and the fact that the main bedroom could be closed off from the living room (hide-a-bed). The kitchen is tiny, but very well appointed.

This is a GREAT location and amazing views. The room is spacious and has the basics you would need for your stay! The bathroom looks a bit old but functions just fine, and there is no AC in the bedroom but a fan, and i just left the bedroom door open. convienent to have the rooftop pool /lounge just one floor up! Waikiki market just down the street. Lani was a pleasure to work with and quick responses as well as allowing for a late checkout!

Location is perfect, view is amazing, check in process easy, communication with owner wonderful. Condo fit our needs perfectly. Air conditioning might not fit some peoples expectations but I found it comfortable and the fan in the bedroom helped during the night. Be sure and check out the storage bench on the lanai before purchasing anything as people, including us, left things for others to enjoy. Same goes for cupboards in the kitchen. Many shopping bags left too if you go to the grocery store like we did. Definitely plan on returning.

My husband and I along with our 2 young adult kids enjoyed our stay at the Pacific Monarch pent house floor 1 bedroom condo mostly for the excellent location, views, balcony/lanai, rooftop pool & rooftop hot tub! It is just 2 blocks walk to Kuhio Beach in Waikiki.We liked having a small kitchenette and also enjoyed how close we were to so many wonderful food options.The front desk staff were pleasant and the common areas were always well kept & clean.We were aware that parking would cost extra at 35/day and budgeted for that. Just be aware to follow the parking rules exactly and note that the parking is very tight.The sofa/futon bed in the living area was not very comfortable for our 2 yound adults so luckily we had brought with us a portable cot and that really saved our stay.Some of the furniture & furnishings are a bit worn but we didnt mind so much as we really loved the views & proximity (very central) to the activities we wanted to do.The bed & linens in the bedroom were comfortable and we appreciated being able to use the 2 beach chairs & beach towels.There is some city & street noise if you leave the windows open for a breeze so during the night we usually chose to use the AC and close the window & patio doors and we slept much better that way. We did not use the TV.Overall we would definetly stay here again!

The apartment is as described and in a really fantastic location, close to the beach and an abundance of shops / restaurants etc. The balcony was big and a nice place to relax. However, the host emailed me a day prior to check in to ask what time I was checking in the next day. I told him 4pm. We arrived just before 5pm and hadn’t received any check in information. We’d been communicating via email and the check in info was not available on the Vrbo app. I emailed and called to ask for the check in information on arrival, which really should’ve been given before we got there. 10 minutes after we arrived, chance would have it that someone had come to replace the soap and was able to let us in. I never received a response to my email asking for the check in details and wouldn’t have got into the apartment had it not been for the person arriving to leave soap.The lack of communication is absolutely not okay. Thankfully I was with a friend, but usually I’m solo travelling. What if I couldn’t have got in contact or get into the apartment? I never even received a response to my query regarding check in. I would’ve had to find another property to stay in had this guy, who wasn’t the person I’d been communicating with over email, not arrived randomly. If I’d have checked in at 4pm as I’d originally said, I would’ve missed the guy turning up to even let us in. No wi-fi password provided either until the next day.Please ensure this is smoothed out for future guests.

Nice condo but the check in took almost one hour because the host did not finalize our reservation with the front desk before our arrival. The shower needs some thorough cleaning and the sheets for the bed in the living room needs to be changed (several holes in the mattress cover). The location close to the beach is great but a bit noisy.

Booked through Expedia, but the hosts were completely unhelpful when I asked for extra beach towels. They waited until 4 days before arrival to mention they'd only provide 1 beach towel per guest, which was totally insufficient for our week-long beach vacation. After multiple requests, they promised "extra towels and a one-time courtesy" but only provided 1 extra towel, still leaving us with inadequate amenities. To make matters worse, the key card provided didn't work for the hotel door, and our requests for new ones almost everyday. Had to spend hours doing laundry due to the towel issue, ruining our vacation. After the trip, I followed up with them about not honoring their promise regarding the towels, and they blamed it on their cleaners. Unbelievable! Clearly, the hosts prioritize profits over guest comfort and accountability. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Poor communication, poor service, and a waste of money.

We stayed here without a vehicle, and it was in a very ideal location. Walking distance to Waikiki. Condo is small but perfect for 2 people. Smelled very clean. Bed was extremely comfy. We walked to Target and got breakfast items to cook to save some money on food.

The views are amazing and the air conditioning worked. But the furniture was worn out, the sleeper sofa had a rut in it and the kitchen and bathroom were gross. The towels were probably 30 years old and random colors and sizes. We loved the rooftop pool and hot tub. There was no room for our things because the closet and drawers were already filled.

We loved our stay! Patio was huge and we enjoyed having meals out there and taking in the views. Rooftop pool couldn’t be any closer and we never had a problem with it being crowded up there. Location of this condo was perfect for us, we walked all over Waikiki from here. Two blocks to the beach, tons of restaurants all around as well as shopping. We will definitely be back! Owner was very helpful and accommodating when we had a request.

This was my first VRBO reservation, and I was blown away by the great experience I had. The instructions were super clear in regards to checking in and out. Place was very clean and provided you with additional amenities that you may need. Almost every place we wanted to go to was within a 10min walking distance. The only downside was parking. There is only a limited number of parking spots available and you have to wait until you check in to see if there was any availability and it was 40/night. Otherwise, you’ll have to find free street parking a few blocks away or park in another hotel’s parking garage. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this place again for our future trips!

We had a wonderful stay in the hotel in Honolulu. We found everything we needed, the room was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, and it was close to the shore, with lots of restaurants and grocery stores around. What made our stay even better. We plan to return again next year to this little slice of paradise.

We were very unhappy with the mold, ripped and stained furniture, lack of kitchen supplies, odds & ends of towels, and lack of lighting. Dishes were dirty, there was no dish soap, there was a 1/4 sponge (clearly a sponge cut into 4 smaller pieces) and no mat for the dish drying rack. Shower was rusty as was the shower head.
