Now I stay at Hokulani. This is my solo vacation and this is my first stay at this resort.
I am staying on the 10th and I see the building wall in front and the ocean from the bed.
Not too nice but not really bad. On the Waikiki standard, this clearly belongs to the OV
category.
Compared with the ones in HHV, it seams that Hokulani captures the image of urban vacation.
Kitchen is full but compact. The bath tab has a very modern character. The stand alone shower
gives you a stylish taste. The unit is designed very tightly. Not loose, relaxing or easy going
like the Lagoon tower. The location is very convenient.
If I was staying in a room with a better ocean view, I might have a more positive impression.
The noise level is not so much different from that in HHV while it sounds more like city with
Kalakaua Ave right there. But the noise is not an issue. The real problem for me is
the atmosphere I feel right in the middle of Waikiki. So much is going on and there
is the energy I feel.
I and my wife like HHV because it is close to Waikiki and Ala Moana. If I want to, I can walk
to Waikiki, Ala Moana and even Kakaako. HHV is a huge resort in a closed area and has the
almost all of convenience you need for your stay. Yet HHV itself is operating in the vacation
mode, separated from the busy, real world.
I never say that Hokulani is really bad and you should not come. It depends upon your preference
and the purpose of your trip. If you feel fine with my impressions above, Hokulani will be
great for you. If you prefer HHV, you may not want to stay here. If you love Ko Olina,
you sincerely recommend that you should delete the resort from your option list.
