Summary

I had a very nice stay at this hotel. It was very convenient to be able to walk to the beach with my swimsuit on. The view from the ocean view room was very nice, and the sunset was beautiful. I though it was nice to be able to listen to live music at the “Duke’s Waikiki.” I would love to stay here again some day!
