Aqua Pacific Monarch

Gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis. Gute Lage.

Das Personal ist sehr hilfbereit und das Zimmer wirklich grossartig. Das Hotel ist nur etwa 200 Meter vom Strand entfernt und direkt bei einer Bushaltestelle, bei der man in die eine Richtung direkt zum Diamond Head und in die andere direkt nach Pearl Harbor kommt. Ich begreife einfach nicht, was diese zusätzliche "Ressort"-Gebühr soll; in den Hotelpreis einrechnen und schon gibt es keine Fragezeichen mehr, vorallem wenn man wie ich keine der "Ressort"-Annehmlichkeiten nutzen kann.

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Unser Zimmer war direkt beim Lift, sodass wir ein ständiges Quitschen des Liftes in Kauf nehmen mussten. Das Zimmer war sauber, aber sehr schlecht isoliert, das Badezimmer sehr klein. Ohne Oropax war an Schlaf leider nicht zu denken, da die Fenster sehr lärmdurchlässig waren. Das Schwimmbad oben auf der Terrasse ist ebenfalls nicht wirklich einladend. Die Glasfassade müsste dringend einmal gereinigt werden. Alles in allem würden wir nicht mehr in diesem Hotel logieren. Es gibt einige schönere Hotels gleich in der Nähe.

Its an ok hotel - we expected more for the money, but it's fine. We stayed for a month so perhaps noticed things that wouldn't be an issue on a short stay. Pros - Great views from high rooms (although terrible from low rooms) - Well equipt kitchen facilities - Amenities provided (shower gel, shampoo, tea, coffee) - Bed is very comfortable - Very large room with wide doors that open right up. - Pool area is nice and well located. Often quiet too. - Fantastic location, 2 mins from Waikiki beach and so many shops, restaurants, bars and public transport. Cons - The A/C is terrible. Very small and located near the bed so doesn't cool the rest of the room. Also very loud. - We didnt feel the room was cleaned well at all. Perhaps not an issue on a short stay but a big problem for a month. - The balcony is very small with no room for tables and chairs. - Our toilet was not attached to the floor and tipped and leaked. This resulted in us having to move rooms near the end of our trip. - The resort fee was way too high at $25 a night plus tax. What you get isn't worth this and it stung us at an extra $800 on our trip. - 1 lift was broke almost every day of our stay. The rooms are a little dated, but when we moved to a lower floor we found the room more modern and new so it seems they may be renovating from the bottom up. Also note there is building work going on outside the hotel. The doors don't block out noise on the lower floors so it can be VERY noisy at night.

While the service was good, the room facilities were so old. The AC unit was loud and did not cool the room down; worse was the bedroom as that did not have any AC unit and only a ceiling fan. What bothered me the most was the parking. So many rules. Keep your car inside the white lines. Make sure your parking validation ticket is clear on the windshield. Your car will be towed if any rules are broken. If you just need a place to rest your head then this hotel will do. Spend all your time outside and enjoy Honolulu and the entire island of Oahu.
