Great location. Beautiful view. Kitchen is well stocked. Amazing to have a washer/dryer and a parking spot.
Host was responsive with a few questions we had when on site. Did not respond to a question I had before I left about a parking spot.
Would stay here again . . . if they replaced one of the single beds. There was a huge “divot/hole” in the middle of the mattress. My sister had to put 3 pillows in this “hole” in order to use the bed. I notified the host.

Central location within a three minute walk of the beach. Lovely water views. Place itself is clean but a bit bare bones. We did not like the bedding. There was no duvet cover! Just a blanket between two sheets! So we went to Target and bought our own sheets and duvet. Also no kleenexes. The paper towel was very poor quality and paper thin so we bought some bounty. No dish drainer. Weird. Anyways, we felt they could have spent just a little more to make the experience nice. Host was not very helpful. We reached out that the blinds were defective and blocking the view. They initially said someone would stop by but 8 days later and no response. Having said that, location was nice and walkable. Not 5 star accommodations but a solid 3 star.

Our family had a great time staying at this property. The property manager Mark is extremely helpful, and always gave us quick response. The location is good, only five minutes walk to Waikiki beach. The kitchen is small but very functional. The view at the balcony is great. Parking is a bit tricky because we have a large SUV, but once we got used to it, it was fine.

The location of this condo cannot be beat, in the middle of the action and only a short walk to the beach.
The condo was clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities.
The building itself has some nice amenities such as a nice lounge on the top floor, a sauna and a rooftop pool.
One thing to note is that the condo is right below the lounge and one night there was a party in the lounge that did cause a fair amount of noise in the condo. However the party was over by 9 PM so not a big deal in my opinion. At night the 'quiet hours' are respected by everyone in the building it seems, but of course being in the center of Waikiki there is sometimes street noise, especially police and ambulance sirens, that can be heard.
The property manager is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
Overall definitely recommended.

Great location, view from the balcony. Small room, just enough for 2 people. Balcony furniture seems oversized for the balcony. Management was very responsive when we needed.
Problem with hot water and water pressure. Take showers early.
Overall positive experience.

Condo itself is very compact, maybe 500 sq ft. However, it had everything you need, including a full kitchen, dining table, pull out couch, and balcony with lots of room. Beach gear is supplied. The property manager and his assistant are very helfpul and were available when we needed them. The rooftop pool area is unreal and the condo is very conveniently located in central Waikiki, just a block to the beach. Would love to stay here again.

After an easy check-in, we made it to our room on the 31st floor. What a view! The balcony is huge and has a great ocean view. The room was clean but a little dated. It has everything you need for a short or long term stay like ours. Lani, the property manager was fantastic and was great to work with. Anything we needed after checking in was taken care of quickly. The amenities room and the rooftop pool deck are recently refurbished and both are very nice. We would definitely recommend this unit to others.

This property is perfect for stay at Hawaii, specifically close to the Waikiki ocean.
And me and my best friend had fun time.
We usually eats outside, so didn’t use kitchen stuffs. But there’s a lots of missing the cooking stuffs in the posting.
If they put all the stuffs, many people likes it.
(Rice cooker, electric kettle, hair dryer etc..)
But the most thing they have to change ASAP is
The Air Conditioner!!! DOES NOT WORK at all!
This is ridiculous in Hawaii even in Winter.
Yes, I saw the reviews that people wrote about the air conditioner doesn’t work properly, but I didn’t think Doesn’t Work At All!!
We wok up in the middle of night often, but the fan in the living room was so dirty
(dust and greasy all over the fan 😥)
And the cushions pillow are so dirty they’re stains looks like somebody’s sweating…
Please Please change these stuffs fir the next travelers and if it’s changes, definitely this room will be most popular and I will be back next time and will suggest to my friends too.
Thank you!

My mom, husband and I stayed for a week while we were exploring the area. This is a great spot for walking to the beach, shops and resturants in Waikiki. Its also a close drive to Diamond Head etc. As most places right downtown we did find it loud at night hearing people and vehicles on the street and we could hear the wind loudly. The space was a good size for 3 people for a short time.

We stayed in this lovely condo with our family of 4. Our kids are 8 and 10. I was a little anxious about where everyone would sleep, but everything was perfect! One kid slept on the futon and the other on the purple chair, which folds out into a tiny bed. An adult would not likely be comfortable on the purple chair, but for our 8 year old, it was perfect! We brought a little teepee tent thing and put that at the head of the chair to make it fun, and she loved it.
The view is absolutely stunning. We loved how close it was to the beach and so many shops. Waikiki is such a fun, vibrant place! And it wasn’t a bad drive from the condo to places like Kualoa Ranch, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Diamond Head, etc.
The only tiny problem we had was there were not enough dishes or utensils for 4 people. We thought it was hysterical that we only had one fork and had to share. But there are food trucks and ABC stores every 10 feet in Waikiki, so it was an easy problem to resolve.
The rooftop pool and hot tub were fantastic, and we went several times and no one else was there! We watched sunrises and sunsets from the roof, which was amazing.

Super easy booking and great communication. Pictures match post. Love the location and distance to beach and all our needs. Helpful information on rental vehicles and parking situation made our planning easier
Had a later evening arrival and found that location did not have our details, had to reach out to host/booking to get information to allow entry to suite - relatively quick response but check in process could be improved. Would stay again. Thank you

This was a great location for us and we had a good stay .Friendly reception and easy check in.Room was well equipped and plenty of towels. Very close to Waikiki beach. Only let downs were one of the ranch sliders doors was broken so we couldn't open it right up and shower control not attached securely and came off a few times.Also the table in the room was terribly creaky,and noisy and madeit difficult to use.

Bed was ridiculously comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. One and only hiccup was the door code didn't work, but left message and Lei got back to us with a solution very quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall had a great stay at this apartment. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. Has 3 lanai. Pool very nice. Restaurant on site rarely open. Listing indicated there were barbecues but this is incorrect. This was an issue for me as this was one of the reasons I selected this place. Dishware needs updating and could use more, specifically some containers to put food in. Property manager promptly did bring us one extra bowl (one was cracked)and 2 wine glasses as there were none.

This was our fourth time coming to the island, and I have to say, this is the best place we have stayed at. We stayed here for 9 nights and it was perfect, the last time we went to Oahu we stayed 9 nights as well but the place was smaller and some days we did feel a bit claustrophobic.
PROS:
Obviously the views! We Enjoyed watching the sunset from the lanai, it is also very spacious as pictured.
Very close to the beach, which we loved. Also there are lots of food options nearby.
Everything is as pictured, we wanted a place that had an actual room so when the kids were asleep my husband and I could still watch tv and enjoy some quiet time, this was perfect!
Also, big pro for us was the box fan there is in the condo, we are used to sleeping with a fan on at home so it blocks out all of the outside noise, we were very happy when we saw one in the closet!
Last but not least, Gary was very communicative and made himself easy to reach in case we needed something.
CONS:
This was not a deal breaker for us because we are used to paying this much for parking but I know it can be for others, parking at this building is $35/day which is a bit pricey but convenient since it is very close and it is gated.
The elevator can get pretty busy and there was a lot of maintenance being done while we were there, again, it was not a deal breaker for us but since it is a big building know that there could be maintenance being done a lot of the time.
We will definitely be staying here again

My husband and I booked a stay in Mayu’s property due to the proximity to Waikiki beach. It not my first time to Honolulu but was for my husband.
The property was as shown in the photos. It was a good space for two people, not sure how it would be for more than that. Close to local markets, car rental, shopping, and nightlife. Building/hotel although dated, was safe and staff was very friendly. Our stay was quiet. The views of the beach from the unit were amazing.
Overall, it had all the conveniences of home to make our stay enjoyable. The kitchen lacked a few useful items (measuring cups etc) necessary for preparing meals which we did three times a day. The bed was very comfortable, the couch not so much but served the purpose. The bathroom is dated and could use a deep clean but water was hot and shower worked well.
We absolutely loved the roof top pool, hot tub, bbq and games area. It was a gem of a space and we religiously spent our morning and nights there.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book this space again if we return to Oahu. Mahalo, Mayu for your hospitality.

control very hard to turn on or off, sofa was torn and dirty. dining table and chairs mismatched ( i'm six feet tall and had to sit on a cushion to eat), dinnerware badly chipped, forks must have been designed for five year old. two chairs on lanai in very poor condition, window blinds in poor condition and difficult to use Did not go in the pool a it appeared cloudy. I've stayed at the Pacific Monarch in the past and enjoyed my visit. This was a total disappointment. Definitely would not recommend.

Sofa was torn and dirty, Shower tile grout was moldy, bathtub had a quarter sized chip that was rusted, shower knob very difficult to operate, window blinds had missing vanes and were virtually unusable, dining plates badly chipped, tiny forks must have been designed for a six year old, dining table and chair were mismatched making to table too tall, I had to sit on a cushion and I am six feet tall Televisions never worked properly despite a couple of efforts by maintenance. On that note,the maintenance person came in while we were gone and without notice, two chairs on patio unraveling and could not be sat on in shorts. On the plus side, the locations was good, front desk staff friendly and helpful. I have stayed at the Pacific Monarch in the past and enjoyed my stay. However I absolutely would not recommend this unit to anyone.

We were really happy with everything, loved the detailed instructions for check in, it made things less stressful. The roof top pool is super cool!
The HUGE WINDOW, WOW!! Opening the curtains, laying in bed & watching the sky come to life as the sun comes up was my favorite. It gets hot quickly so we didn't leave the curtains open all day but the AC works great!
I loved the location, close to the main street but also close to the food trucks with honestly the best food.

Exactly as described. in addition to the really lovely unit, the rooftop pool and hot tub were great and the club room on that level with the large screen tv and pool table were empty. Window washers came during our stay which made our view very clear! Building turned off the water during one of our days, but we weren't impacted much by that.

I am writing to express our deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with our stay at your unit. Despite our anticipation of a comfortable and enjoyable vacation, several issues have arisen that have marred our experience.
The toilet was not clean, other aspects of the unit were left unaddressed. The blinds remain unable to close fully, compromising our privacy. The sofa's messy stains were not cleaned, rendering it unusable, and the discomfort of the hot sun, even with the AC, has made our stay less enjoyable.
We believe that we should be able to fully utilize the amenities for which we are paying the full price. Unfortunately, this has not been the case during our stay. Given these concerns.

The studio was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Great location a couple of blocks from the beach. Could use some updating, but otherwise good value for location. The building however was run down. The pool area needed a thorough power washing, hallways kind of dingey. Pool area could be an oasis if spruced up.
