OCEANFRONT PROPERTY DIAMOND HEAD BEACH HOTEL unit 704

Cons: The pictures were somewhat misleading and not entirely accurate (the view from this room is vastly different from what one would expect from the 10th or higher floors of the same building). The couch is extremely uncomfortable. The shower is tiny. Not even a bar soap is provided. The door that divides the studio and the toilet is a louver door, so be prepared for your bathroom trips to be quite public. Pros: The room is spacious enough for 2 to pack/unpack. The bed is comfortable. No noise issues from other units or the neighborhood. Great location for walkers/joggers. Overall, I find the pricing reasonable.

The attention to detailing in this compact unit was exceptional; Good fittings and fine-quality fixtures, highend towels and kitchenware included. We live in hotels and resorts for months-on-end, as part of our travel writing commissions & publishing committments. Our hostess was attentive and keen to please. Note: this locaton is ideal for comfy walking shoes; shopping is a stroll for grog and groceries & there is no on-site pool for lounging...but the beach is outside the the building's footprint. Parkland across the roadway was extensive & we opted not to use the fee parking underneath the building as metered spaces along the parkfront were plentiful and cheep as chips with good timing. Bottomline: The studio was spotlessly clean & well provisioned.

The views were breathtaking of both the ocean and diamondhead crater, it was amazing to get not only one of those views but both. Small little balcony was great for opening the window and just getting some fresh air and nice ocean breeze. Condo was well stocked and the location was perfect because it was close enough to all of the fun stuff in Waikiki but far enough to be away from the traffic. I walked to coffee every morning and the wife and I walked to dinner a couple nights from the condo. Parking is under the condo and is an extra charge but there's an elevator right there to go straight up to your room. Nice ocean front property with a nice little seating area by the water. Would stay here the next time we come 100%!!!! We had a few questions and the post answered promptly and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed!

I had a reservation and I added a day with the host and she confirmed our reservation days through text on the vrbo app. Someone else was given access to my unit and walked right into our room while my wife and I were completely unclothed.Our privacy was entirely violated, and we felt completely unsafe staying on the property, however our reservation was already emding so we had no where else to go. Under Book with Confidence Guarantee, this is not suppsed to happen this was quite the traumatic experience. We didnt recieve a call from the host, a simple message, after we had to reach out first.

The parking situation did work out OK for us but was challenging the first evening. We arrived after dark and the garage spots were full. Our other options were on the street with a meter during the day or a little walk to the park. We ended up finding meter parking the four day stay. If you are gone most of the day that is probably the best method.

No cooking done except in microwave

Great location! Quiet, locked property. Nice outside patio area. Quick response from manager.

Great location if you’re looking to be in the heart of all the action Waikīkī and Honolulu has to offer. Walking distance to many restaurants, shops and of course the beach. This is a small studio apartment but it had what we needed to make our stay memorable. The photos are a bit deceiving, you do have a partial ocean view, the photo looks as though you are right on the ground level steps from the ocean, it’s actually on the 7th floor and there is no direct access to the beach from this complex. To note-the directions to obtain the access key fob were a bit confusing. The lock boxes are not visible from the driveway entrance to the garage, but closer to the walk up entrance to the complex. We arrived and did not know which parking space was designated for us so I reached out to the property manager. Response was “did you reserve a spot? If so check your email.” I did reserve a spot and never heard from the parking company until we were in the process of trying to figure where to park. Not helpful! Property manager, parking manager, 2 different entities and the email notification from the parking manager comes from an email that is not the name of the company you book parking with. This couldn’t be more confusing if you tried. I found the response from the property manager rude and not helpful. email sent from the parking company DID NOT indicate a parking space. They required a phone call because they “wanted to meet us at the complex to go over a few things” - not so.

The room and bathroom were very clean and had everything we needed. The bed is very comfortable. Everything you need is here for light cooking. The downstairs patio has an amazing ocean sunset view. Possibly one of the best.Parking was a challenge but Patrick, who is the desk clerk for Dimond Head holel and Residence (not affiliated with the Vrbo host), explaind parking. Street parking is free but limited, meter parking is free from 6 pm to 10 am. Very manageable but did require walking in the beautiful quiet Hawaii neighborhood. This was definitely not a resort but was perfect for my husband and my first trip to Hawaii.

Studio room with kitchen (no stove/oven). Comfortable bed. Less comfortable couch. Picture of ocean view is accurate but does not include all the buildings and roofs that are also part of that view. Parking garage was full but we didn't need it. Always found parking either paid (.50/hr) or free close by.

Nice property, everything was as described. Great view and the bed was comfortable. Liked the location. Close to a lot of activities, but far enough away that it was very quiet at night.

Everything was great, but if I had anything to complain about it would be the parking situation. Other than that, it was very nice…thank you!

A lovely place to stay. It was very clean and within walking distance to many shops and the Waikīkī beach.

The location was perfect for us. The bed was too soft but everything else was good.

It was everything the website said it was just a little smaller other than that it was a beautiful view had an awesome time

This apartment is in perfect location if you want to stay out of very busy Waikiki but in the same time you are close enough to just take a walk to be there. Place is very nice and has everything you need. I would highly recommend to reserve parking spot.

Parking is almost impossible, shower is way too small. The unit was dirty around the base boards and the pillows were trash. I'm not trying to be rude or mean but just giving my honest opinion. It was not worth what I paid.

Check-in was easier than expected and the unit has plenty of room for 2 people. Kitchen supplies were accurately described so don’t plan on cooking a gourmet meal but suitable for breakfast or simple meals. We loved the location and would stay here again! Had a slight issue our last night (there was a half marathon the day we were checking out and the surrounding streets were closed (the police said they could not guarantee we’d be able to leave) so we parked our car 3/4 mile away to ensure we could get to the airport. Parking across the street otherwise very easy. Overall we thought a great place despite that complication.

Highly recommended. The studio is cozy with an amazing ocean view and an unforgettable Diamond Head mountain backdrop. Lana provides everything necessary to make the stay Perfect In Paradise!

Enjoyed our stay at the Diamond Head Hotel & Resort. We really liked the back patio where we could watch the sun set and eat at the tables. Mahalo...

Difficult access for mobility challenges. Parking. Arrived to property, difficulty accessing lock box, finally able to obtain key/parking FOB. Parking in garage very tight,even for small car. Park nearby. Beach down street, walking distance. For more able, walking to town accessible. For our needs, unit was challenging r/t Microwave in upboard above fridge - had to use step stool (very small), danger for those with balance and mobility issues. Possibly for anyone getting hot food/drinks out. TV was difficult, no instruction on site - kept getting no signal. Have to say, value for this unit based on viewing unit next door lacked for appeal for homey to feel and better ammenities. People in general living/staying were very friendly. Security on duty at night.

It was a great spot we enjoyed our time there it was however a little noisy.

Great location, very clean, everything provided, would book again!

The condo was lovely, perfect for two people.

Immaculate rental. Perfect location, easy access to all the sights and attractions. Would stay here again!
