Pacific Monarch Paradise 1-Bedroom | Ocean Views

The property is nothing how pictures look. It is dirty, old, outdated and ugly!! Everything is outdated and old. The beds are horrible to sleep on and the air conditioning unit is horrible it’s always so hot in there even with ac on full blast. I will never book this place again. And I booked through Expedia thinking it was a hotel but it was not, it was privately owned so don’t fall for it!!

TV's did not work. bathtub tile was moldy. shower water 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.

We chose this place to be able to go our nephews graduation party and to visit my family while there. It met our needs perfectly.

Overall the condo was good. Location was centrally located to a lot of activities including hiking, food, entertainment, etc. 3 coffee pots is silly, but a toaster and blender would have been nice. More towels would be nice. Was happy they had a broom and dust pan available. I wouldn't be against staying here again, good quality for the price. they had a broom and dust

Online it said, it was newly reno and very clean . When we arrived, the floors had not been swept or washed inside all the drawers and cupboards were very filthy. The blankets on the beds needed a good wash. They stunk the pictures were on the floor. We were very disappointed at first impressions .We were happy with the location and the facilities at the hotel.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As other reviews have mentioned, the condition of this condo is in poor condition. Some issues:1. The place smelled of mold or mildew.2. The fan in the bedroom is useless because its plugged up with dirt and dust. It was better to open the door in early evening when there are trade winds to cut down the heat. 3. Unable to close any vertical blinds in the living room or bedroom since they their position cannot be changed and many are broken or missing. Just opening the lanai door caused 2 to break. Many gaps in the blinds so unit can get quite warm.4. There are no glasses in cupboard, only 2 large plastic cups. 5. There are no beach towels and beach chairs are in very poor condition. 6. Depending on time of year, there might not be much more cost to stay in the kitchen units that are part of the hotel pool. Those units are looked after and you do get beach towels and beach chairs. During my visit, I checked the price and it was $30 a night more.7. One lanai chair's webbing is broken at the edge and catches clothes.

Overall a great stay! Location is fantastic, close to the beach, shopping and many restaurants. Hotel was great! Nice roof top pool and hottub, sauna and BBQ area. Well maintained and clean. Tons of space. Apartment was good. Nice view. Set up with everything you need. A little dated in decor and could use some of the kitchen utensils refreshed. Would also appreciate curtains in the bedroom. There is construction happening near by so you wake up to construction sounds of the city. Overall we would stay again.

Reviewer Comments: This condo is in DETERIORATING condition: bathtub enamel is worn through to rust which wasn't removed after cleanig; bath/shower tile grout was black with mildew/mold even after cleaning; sofa upholstery is torn and smells of mildew; filter in wall air conditioning unit was black with mildew/mold/dirt; pictures removed from the wall were stacked on the floor; all lamp shades were water stained and in poor condition; vertical shade slats on living room sliding door were broken off in multiple places; aluminum track for bedroom sliding door is so corroded we were not able to shut/lock door; all furniture surfaces were dusty; bedsheet thread count was paper thin and translucent revealing the mattress pad below; bathroom vanity/counter tiles were broken off and replaced with laminate pieces; all furniture was in poor condition (scratched, old) and looks similar to free furniture listed on CL. Spent $1800 for 7 days and we couldn't stay one night because of the state of the condo/apartment. Called the contact phone number given for this unit and the representative said that they had to contact the property management company (Novation) in order to get authorization for remedial action, and instructed We should stand by our phone and stay in the apartment awaiting a call back which may take up to 24 hours to happen. I would not jest: this response was considered appropriate customer support. My recommendation is to stay clear of this Novation-owned rental and buyer beware of VRBO listings. This is the second poor experience we've had with VRBO listings. If you're going to stay in Waikiki Beach, I highly recommend the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel where we stayed for $50 more per night for a gorgeous, drop-dead ocean view room on the 30th floor, first class customer service, first class hotel rooms with on-site maintenance and housekeeping.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was not very clean. It only had 1 set of sheets and towels, and just the basic kitchen utensils. The biggest complaint would be the window blinds. The wouldn't open/close and the were missing slats. Also, there was no air conditioning in the bedroom. Overall not a great place to stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed to find a budget friendly location and this was perfect It's an easy block and a half from the beach (you've got pretty great views as well!). The queen bed isn't super comfy but having a separate bedroom is a plus. The bathroom is tiny - shower is very old and a bit rusted. The lanai is great. It has everything you need for a fully outfitted condo. The pool and roof top aren't super nice but we spent time up there and enjoyed ourselves. There are food trucks next door that are good and cheap! Would be nice if there was a broom and dust pan - we had to vacuum several times due to sand and such.
