General description:............................(Back to top)

• This hotel has 2 separate and very different towers that are quite independent from each other, including different elevators, lobby area and amenities.
  They were both erected in the 70's the main one is called Pali Tower and the secondary one is called Diamond Head Tower.
  It has an adequate lobby/front desk area with a restaurant and a bar. The pool areas are on the same level in each tower and are connected, each building has it's own small pool.
  The Pali Tower has regular size rooms, most of them with small kitchenettes, the Diamond head tower has smaller rooms without cooking facilities.
  The lobby is on an elevated floor and either a ramp or a flight of stairs has to be negotiated to reach the lobby.
  Parking is available but limited and like all hotels in Waikiki, quite expensive.
  The hotel has been properly maintained all these years but no major renovation was ever conducted.

• Most rooms in the Pali Tower have a small kitchenette, they are not very big but represent a good addition especially for families with small children.
• If you need to be on the far east side of Waikiki, this hotel is only a block from the Honolulu Zoo and a block from the beach.

What you may not like about this hotel:............................(Back to top)

• The hotel has 2 pools but they are very small, they should have a single bigger pool but in this case each of the smaller pools belong to a different building.
• The Diamond Head Tower has rooms that are a lot smaller than the Pali Tower, if you are going to stay in this hotel, try to choose the Pali ones.
• If you are planning to go to the beach in front of this hotel, keep in mind that is not very wide. Nice wide beaches can be found at the Ala Moana beach park, Kailua and Waimanalo but no hotels are available near those beaches.
• Like all hotels in Waikiki, parking is extra and in the case of this hotel is also VERY limited. If you are planning to stay in this hotel you may want to rethink that car rental since parking is on a first come first serve basis (cannot be reserved).
• Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at (808) 946-1216 for more information.
