Before my stay at the Hawaiian Inn I read every review and had seriously considered finding somewhere else. I am glad I didn't. Much of what I read that was negative was true. Could have been cleaner, there was some construction noise, house keeping was hit and miss at times, the pool was closed for repairs, and the some of furniture could be replaced. Having said this, I had a great time. Our room was totally livable; the view is amazing... we even saw doplhins on our last day just where I had been swimming only an hour prior. It is obvious that the hotel has made many improvements and is continuing to do so. The price makes it very accessible for the average person / couple / family. I would definitely return. We had room 519 which has two queen beds and a pull out couch - it wasn't perfect but I will request it next time if I was given a room I didn't like. What I mean by not perfect is the beds are not very comfortable and although you can tell someone tried to renovate the room the work is a little sloppy... but like I said, I would totally stay again. In fact, I'll likely look into purchasing a condo here of my own at some point. Mybiggest complaint is the beds... and the awful noise of the fans from the restaurant... they are loud and woke me up every day that the restaurant was open. Maybe it was so great since I expected worse.... but in all honesty I felt welcome, safe, comfortable, and had a great vacation.
I also seriously recommend local restaurants Zen Bistro and Our Deck Down Under.... the best food I had while visiting.
Room Tip: ask for an ocean facing room that is not close to the front of the hotel in order to avoid the noise...
