Overall, for the price this was a great value.
Hanohano suite, Beautiful suite and view BUT
Hanohano suite, 2nd floor, Beautiful suite and view, BUT
O.K. So I read the old reviews of this place from over a year ago, which were pretty bad, but then I read the more recent reviews, and it seemed this place hadimproved greatly. It has not.
So, I’ll start with the good:
Gigi was very professional and efficient in booking the place over the internet.
We received great directions and found the place easily.
The suite really is as pretty as it is on her website, and the view is amazing.
The king bed was super comfy. Lots of closet space and ample hangers. Lots of nice thick towels, and beach towels provided too. The shower had lots of hot water and great pressure. Great TV and cable. The kitchen was stocked with the verybasics, but left us wanting.
It was nice to be in a laid back place andout of the craziness of Waikiki. Other people staying here were very friendly. Lots of nice beaches in the area.
Now the bad:
Not clean – at all
When we arrived the suite looked nice on the surface. As soon as I went into a kitchen cupboard toget a glass, there was this grinding noise as I removed it. All the cupboards had a layer of grit in them, similar to the type of grit you get when sanding drywall. Then I noticed that some of the plates, glasses, utensils were dirty, and began washing them. The dish rack was covered in such a layer of grunge I refused to use it. The kitchen sink and the drain stopper were disgusting, like they have not been cleaned in ages. There were cobwebs on the ceramic utensil holder. There was food left in the fridge, some deli style pickled fish that had expired 3 weeks before we got there, and some 6month expired jam.
Then I went to unpack my bathroom items, and the bathroom cupboards were all covered in grit too. Upon opening the bathroom drawers and found more drywall type grit and two dead roaches. Look, I don’t freak about roaches, I understand they are part of a tropical vacation. BUT, they looked like they had been lying there for weeks. More cobwebs in the corner of the bathroom. Another layer of drywall dust type grit on the toilet paper holder.
