Returned 4/29/08 after a week stay at the Beach Tower. This was our third visit to Oahu, but first to Beach Tower. Perfect marriage of condo independence with hotel service. No property is perfect, so here are the cons. (1) My unit, 2B and 2b, on the 6th floor was not as modern as the web photos and a little more worn than I expected (2) pool area a little small and hot tub really HOT. That is it! So the pros. (1) The service here makes up for any, and I mean any, shortfall. The staff is great and make you feel like you are the only guest at the hotel. I really can't say enough about the folks, from registration to the 100 or so time they retrieved my car from the FREE valet parking they were extremely dedicated to the guest. (2) Location, Location, Location! (3) Great size for Waikiki. (4) Tremendous value for price, this property does not charge you for any of the extras you should expect (valet parking, newspaper, internet, etc...) Great property even better service.

We travelled the US during March/April for 1 month . Family of 4 with 2 teenagers.
This was our last stop, after a long trip , on our way home.
I wanted something large to give us space from each other, in central location, on the beach with great views.
I researched hear on TA and came up with the beach tower.
We where not dissapointed
The tower is in an excellent location right accross from the "rock pool" and in the heart of all the shops and restuarants.
Our apartment was on the 24th floor, 2404, it was a renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment and I was extremely pleased with all the facilities. We had washer/dryer in the apartment , and the maids left me detergent every day. This was usefull as I completed all my holiday washing!
We had a full size kitchen (which we didnt utilise to potential) but was handy for breakfast and snacks.
Two enormous bathrooms, huge king bed in main bed, twins in the other room, plus a huge living/dining and the biggest balcony with amazing views
The tower does not have a restuarant but that was no problems, rewstuarants everywhere.
The staff where helpful and courteous, and Greg the bellhop was truly amazing with his help
We got a better rate by buying the hawaii entertainment book and calling the hotel, to which they honoured my booking at a reduced rate

I will definatley return to hawaii and stay hear at this fanastic apartment tower.

Book your stay hear, you will not be disappointed

Selected this property after reading Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. We stayed on the 20th floor in a 2 bedroom apartment. Huge rooms and balcony. Good beachfront view- we enjoyed sitting out for an evening drink watching the world go by and of course the great sunsets. The apartment was refurbished with modern kitchen. Having a washing machine and dryer was great.

Location is an easy walk to everything. Hotel is right across from the safe beach areas with walled in swimming = great for young kids. 100 metres to bigger but still safe surf. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Also the trolley stop was just across the road. We only used this to go to Ala Moana but I think you could go further afield.

Hotel service was really friendly and helpful. Also rooms were serviced twice daily, an extra touch.

The only thing we didn't like were the lifts which were sometimes slow and occasionally one was out of service. A minor problem overall.

Highly recommended.

Was pretty sure I knew what to expect after reading many reviews of this hotel. It pretty much lived up to the expectations.
There was a total of 10 of us travelling together, 4 adult and 6 kids. One family stayed in a 1 bedroom, and we stayed in a 2 bedroom. In our room there was 2 adults and 4 kids. Sounds kind of cramped, it wasen`t at all. The room was kind of dated, but very spacious, which worked for us. We were on the 6th floor, so I was not sure what kind view we were going to have, but the view still was very nice, we were able to see the entire beach from our lanai (it was a huge lanai as well). The entire staff here were great. Always willing to go out of their way, at any time, for anything that you may need.
The location was perfect, right across the street from the beach, with all of the amenities that one would need / expect.
The beach was awesome, the surfing was great (all 6 kids in the party surfed often), the resturants were very good, although rather expensive, and the people were super friendly.
All in all, both families had an extremely good time, and we would go back to this hotel for sure.
