We have been travelling around the Hawaiian Islands. The Honolulu Suite (rm:1101) at the Diamond Head Beach Hotel was our third self-cater accommodation. The view was great the decorating was nice, but the floor was not clean, there were no dishcloths or dish towels, there was an infestation of ants in the kitchen, the sleeper bed was not made-up, the set of dishes was incomplete and there was no plunger in the bathroom. When I attempted to solve problems all I could get was an answering machine at the Ohana office. I did eventually receive some dish towels and cloths: they were new but not clean I end up having to wash them myself . Overall, very sloppy customer service. Our stay was a very disappointing experience. We won't go back.

We just got back from staying here. I would definitely stay again. We were visiting our daughter who is attending school on Oahu. She was a bit homesick and we wanted something with a home environment. A hotel room would not work for this trip. We booked the Honolulu suite and it was perfect. We could relax in the living room and cook a meal or two when we wanted.
We walked into Waikiki for dinner, twice. It takes about 15 minutes to leisurely walk to the middle of Waikiki. We thought the walk back at night might present some issues, but we were not bothered by anyone.
The hotel is sandwiched in between two other buildings. The condo was on the 11th floor and
we only had a building on one side of us. I was worried it might not be private, but there was plenty of privacy in the condo. The items provided were pretty basic. The kitchen did have enough dishes, silverware, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, but no towel for drying dishes, foil, plastic wrap, spices. We managed just fine with what we had. The bathroom did have very nice towels.
All in all it was very comfortable and perfect for our visit. We would stay here again.

Diamond Head Beach Hotel is a gem! We had a great stay in the Tree Top Studio. It met all our needs; surfing, snorkeling, walking, dining, entertainment, fun!!!! Great atmosphere; relaxing and tranquil. Went thru Ohana Beach Rentals.

I stayed at the Diamond Head Beach Hotel, in suite 1203 (The Honeymoon Suite). I've actually stayed here several times before. The best part about this hotel is the location. It's literally right ON the water.

I've stayed at several hotels in the middle of Waikiki, and all I got was a crappy view into another building... lots of city/street noise... a bunch of screaming kids... and tons of teenagers getting drunk, acting like idiots. This hotel is QUIET and from my suite, I got ocean views out both sides of my unit... as well as cityscape views at night. It had a private courtyard that sits RIGHT on the water.

When we wanted some night life and shopping, we took a nice 10-minute stroll along the boardwalk right along the water, into Waikiki. It was close enough to bop in and out of Waikiki... but it was far away enough from the hustle-and-bustle to RELAX. We sat in the living room of our one-bedroom suite... opened up the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door... and the Hawaiian breeze flowed right into our suite. We didn't even have to leave our living room to feel like we were in Hawaii... and guess what... all we could hear was the gentle waves rolling in... NOT the sounds of tour buses, fire engine sirens, and drunk idiots yelling (which is what we heard when we previously stayed in Waikiki).

If you want to vacation like a celebrity (without paying a high price) THIS is the hotel to stay at. I booked this through going to www.cheapluxuryhawaii.com
