If you are ready for the stay in waikiki this is where you want to be. Great views of sunset and fireworks. Close to restaurants and shopping. Very comfortable with AC. Pull out couch would be best for 10 and under. Not great for 2 teens.

The check-in process could have been smoother, it was hit or miss if the property manager would answer his phone. When we did connect, he was helpful and informative. However, it could have all been avoided if we were just given the code to the lock and allowed to let ourselves in at the appropriate time.
The condo itself was PERFECT! Clean, bright, airy, and comfortable. The balcony was wonderful. The 5 glass doors were spotless and the doors slide effortlessly to allow us to move easily between the condo and the balcony.
Lots of good dining options very easy walking distance. A convenience store is less than 2 blocks away. The beach, visible in the pictures is beautiful. We really appreciated the place having folding beach chairs and an umbrella. We enjoyed a very restful day at the beach as a result.
Other than the awkward check in process, everything else was flawless, and that process could easily be improved.

Check is was more difficult than some I have stayed at.
We needed a key for the elevator and then a code for the door and had to bother the property manager to let us in at 10 om at night.
But he was helpful and very nice.
Our parking spot was super small, it would have been nice to know that ahead of time before we rented a car!!
The room was clean and the balcony was awesome.
It needs better cookware as most is old and warped. And it could use some re-arrangement of the closet. Maybe remove the makeup table in the hall and turn it into a closet for the pool chair and such and leave add space for suitcases and more hanging clothes.

As long as you follow the instructions they give you, checkin was easy. We parked on site but unless you plan on traveling to different adventures, a rental car was not really necessary. This property does not have a pool but that was not a priority for us. We enjoyed the beach and chairs that were provided inside the condo. It was a very spacious and comfortable stay for us with a beautiful lanai. We spent most our time on the lanai. Beautiful views especially of the Friday night fireworks. We found the bed to be very big and comfortable. Washer and dryer was a very nice addition and worked great. Air conditioning was fantastic. Elevators were quick and always operational. Great location and walkable to everything. Would definitely stay here again.

This was by far the best experience in Waikiki we could have asked for. We were in town for a conference, and didn't want to stay in the busy, crazy conference center. We were able to be within walking distance of the conference but still out of the way enough to have quiet evenings and gorgeous views. The place is quiet, the other occupants are friendly, and the host was incredibly accommodating for all of our needs. This is a wonderful place to stay and 100% I would return.

The condo was fabulous. It was very clean and well stocked. We loved the view, especially for the Friday night fireworks. Paul met us in the lobby to get us checked in and showed us around. The washer and dryer in the unit was very useful. Highly recommend.

Simply the best! The check in process could not have been easier! The elevator was fast and made it easy to get to the 14th floor. Once you enter this unit all your worries seem to disappear as the oven view is fabulous! I love watching the surfers, paddle boarders and boats of all kinds pass by. The main bed was cozy and you can see a full ocean view from it. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the hallway had a nice dressing area with a full mirrored vanity! There were beach chairs and boogie boards that we used often. Beach access was right off the property and downtown was around the corner.
We did have my adult daughter with us so we took the mattress out of the couch and put it on the floor to give her more support for her back. That did the trick, she was comfy.
We went on a fabulous sailing excursion and snorkeled with the sea turtles We even saw pods of whales and flying fish! A seal was sunbathing on the beach below the condo (under the watchful eyes of a marine official). We walked to the Zoo and enjoyed a street fair featuring local food and artists on our way back to the condo! If pickleball or tennis is your thing there are courts right beside this location. We enjoyed the walking path right outside that took us to a small harbor to look at the boats, we saw the outrigger paddle boats up close! I think the ocean sunsets and the Friday night fireworks view from our balcony was the best part.
Don’t forget to visit Nico’s for the best poke bowls !!

One minute walk to beach and in a very busy location. On site parking was convenient. Property manager was in a hurry, but was not intrusive and not needed. View was superb. Furniture dated with stained couch cushions. Washer and dryer very noisy. Old refrigerator. Would be five stars with improved furnishings and appliances. Kitchen was supplied with ample utinsils. This unit will do the trick!

Great location right on Waikiki Beach overlooking the park. Sunset views are priceless and the condo was basic but accurately depicted in photos. Both elevators were working as of November 2023. Communication with Paul was excellent.

Great check in procedure. Amazing views and excellent for watching Friday night fireworks. Large wide balcony. Large apartment with all that you need. Very clean and good pick up service of rubbish each morning. Great to have own washing machine and dryer. New lifts which were very fast. 2 new split system air con units were excellent, plus ceiling fans. This unit is excellent, and as we have stayed in many apartments over many trips to Honolulu, this would be rated the best by far. No questions we would stay again anytime. We left the pull out bed up all day as this was a large unit with lots of space, and storage cupboards. 2 excellent TV's with Netflix etc, all was exexcellent.

Location, location, location, a great view and close to everything in Waikiki. The condo was spacious and had all of the amenities to start us off. Paul, the property manager was right there to meet and check us in. We were aware in advance that only 1 elevator was working and we were somewhat prepared that it would take extra time to get back and forth from the ground floor to our condo on the 14th floor. The lobby was still under construction so I'm sure there will be more of a resort feel when that is completed. Additionally, we found out that the power would be out the night before we departed due to necessary work on the electricity. This was a hassle as it was very warm while we were there and there would be no air conditioner or lights starting at 11:00 p.m. If you are renting a car I would suggest a compact car if you are parking at the property. The parking is extraordinarily tight. All in all we loved the condo and would definitely be back in the future.

Beautiful sunsets every evening from the condo. Excellent location to watch the fireworks every Friday night. Place was clean and had basic cooking supplies. Located close to many restaurants that you can walk to but prepare to pay for parking when visiting Waikiki.

Incredible view, by far the best I have had in Waikiki. Even better than my balcony view i previously had the Hilton Waikiki Village
The room was clean and well stocked with necessities.
Dryer was barely operating. Took multiple cycles to fully dry clothes.
Other than that, property management company were absolutely always at the ready should we require assistance!
I highly recommend booking this property or any other property Captain Cooks Resorts have to offer!

My family came to Honolulu to celebrate my 54th birthday. We chose the Waikiki Shores location because of the amenities, location and proximity to activities and things we wanted to do. The condominium we stayed in was amazing. The pictures on the website didn’t do it justice. It was much nicer in person. The room was extremely clean, our contact Paul at Captain Cook was very accessible and courteous and the cascading views were breathtaking. We literally walked out the back gate and were on the sand of the beach. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

We had a fabulous time in our condo. Paul was extremely helpful,funny, and polite. The views exceeded our expectations. The location was close to local restaurants and shopping. I'd suggest renting a smaller car due to the garage spots being tight. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend this hotel.

Our unit was above expectations as were the views. I’ve stayed on this property before and the units were a bit tired. The location makes it easy to navigate out of Waikiki and head to other parts of the island for day trips.

This was a beautiful room and location. We enjoyed the fireworks from the balcony. The beach is steps away and the view was stunning. The bed was very comfortable and their were two A/C units which was wonderful. The glass doors to the balcony opened all the way across. We loved this place and hope to stay again sometime. Paul was very attentive and helpful. Thank you!

We loved it and would go back again! Very nice, clean and spacious unit for a 1 bedroom/1 bath. Overlooks the water and park on the balcony side, not another tall building close up. We especially liked having the giant sliders open to the ocean breeze. Bed and sofa bed were comfortable, plenty of towels, and beach chairs. Nicely stocked for cooking.
The building is right on the beach, with a great walking path toward marina, and easy walk to all the shops and restaurants the other direction.
Building elevator update project did cause a bit of wait at times, nothing major.
Utilized the across street parking option, which was plenty convenient for us.

It's a good idea to have a car if you expect to leave the property to sightsee, dine, etc. Reserve parking at the time of your booking. Our unit had a dishwasher and washer-dryer which we appreciated.

Loved the balcony views and the feel of the open greenspace afforded by the adjacent park. Nice evening sunsets and breezes.Room was clean comfortable and a perfect location for exploring Waikiki on foot, lounging on the beach, or going for a swim. A foot-wash and shower at the beachfront entrance is super convenient for getting the sand off before hitting the elevator.Kitchen was well equipped and had everything needed for prepping meals before heading to work each day.Be sure to inquire about the parking pass if you are going to have a vehicle, I used both the pass and parked in the very limited first come first serve building parking.Aloha!

There is really nothing I’d change about this location and this particular apartment. The one bathroom made it a bit challenging but nothing remotely inconvenient. Loved the view and property manager was great. I’ll stay here every time I come back.
