Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located close to both the beach and the city center. They also offer a good number of their own activities where you can learn about Hawaiian culture. Every evening, there were different bands playing for three hours, creating an amazing atmosphere. For a family, the price was quite reasonable.
Check-in was smooth, the rooms are excellent (albeit maybe a bit on the small side for three persons, and we did miss not having a barhtub), the view excellent (description said “ocean view” and it was better than expected, even from the Pacific Tower), restaurants both great.
The location is perfect, just a few min walk from the Royal Hawaiian Center; and the hotel has its own /small/ beach with really a good view of the sunset.
Big shoutout to the very friendly staff at Monkeypod Kitchen as well as the poolside Towel Hut!
Would revisit without a doubt!

My experience: great service all around, plenty of TVs to watch any game (15+ around the bar), hostess and bartender were extremely helpful and customer friendly
My food: Please never order the pineapple ballpark sausage from this place...yes there was tiny bits of pineapple in half of the sausage but it was bland and they for some reason served it with salsa, the bun was terrible and way too much for the dog, and I could cook a better dog in my college kitchen. The fries were, surprisingly, on point, crisp, with more than an expected share.
Evaluation: I’ll come here to watch a game, but I’ll only drink beers
Score is lowest because service was less than expected. Beef and broccoli dish was only half the size I get on the mainland. They didn't offer chop sticks and were very skimpy with white rice on my daughter's order.
After waiting for 30 minutes, nobody came up to me to ask how I was, or if I'd like a coffee or water. I left, without eating or drinking anything, to go to a place that valued my business.
The good news is they thanked me as I exited.
Great Venue, food was delicious aaaaaaaaaand a big shout out to Jeffery our Waiter, who went over and beyond to keep us satisfied. It has been incredibly entertaining to talk to you and thanks for keeping our Ice Teas refilled faster, than we were able to drink them.
5 Stars and more to be given.
