I like the hotel staff the best; Very sincere and super helpful. My room was ready very early; I actually got my requested 11am checkin as requested. Everything was wrapped and sanitized!, e.g., TV remote. Great Toto washlette!!

    The Asian style of architecture and interior design is highly appreciated 🙏 Second, each breakfast with a coupon providing a variety of choices only for $5.25 is worthwhile. Third, the hotel is located in the city centre, so it is very convenient for conference, travelling & shopping.

    The apartment kitchen was very clean, great design, well stocked with every appliance and it made cooking for a family a breeze. The bedroom was roomy and the bed was large and very comfortable. There was also beach chairs, beach umbrella, body boards and mats - excellent thinking by the hosts. The apartment was spacious and comfortable.

    Lovely boutique hotel, it had the feel of a classic hotel looks a little dated but I think that only adds to its charm.

    Great renovation of an obviously daggy old hotel. Interior designers to be credited. Majority of staff were pleasant. Clean and neat. Check in seemed to be unorganised and don’t expect to get in early! Location is a short stroll from all the fun. Everything is a walk or cheap Uber away.

    The hotel was very nicely put together. The interior design was fantastic with lots of details that really made it feel like a 5 star experience. The pool, loungers and bar were a great outdoor space with the bar seat swings bringing a lot of joy to many!

    Stunning interior design/decor in the lobby and shared areas. Very stylish pool and Swell bar with live music each night. Great vibe, love the lighting and projection of images onto the adjoining building. Loved the Hawaiian cultural immersion with James teaching history and lei making.
