This off-the-beaten-track property combines the spaciousness of a condominium with the amenities of a hotel. Plus the rates include complimentary continental breakfast. All of the units have private lanais and daily maid service and can sleep up to four. Studios have kitchenettes, and the one-bedrooms -- which can sleep up to five -- have full kitchens. The views are spectacular: jagged mountains and lush valleys, Diamond Head, or the sparkling Pacific Ocean. The only drawback is the minuscule bathrooms: Ours was so small that the door didn't clear the toilet. The tub/shower combo was also cramped. I found it best to shower with my elbows close to my side to avoid hitting the walls. Access via car (usually tricky on Waikiki's one-way streets) is very convenient from Ala Wai Boulevard.
