Mold, outdated, and awkward. Upon arrival, noticed the place had a musky earthy smell. I just assumed it was due to the natural humid climate. Also discovered that the mini fridge was sticking out from under the counter and off. The bathroom faucet was too big - meant for a kitchen or very large bath sink. If you bend over the middle of the sink without looking, you could bang your face into the faucet. After a couple days of feeling allergy symptoms, we discovered mold on one of the pillows. The owner did respond in a timely manner and replaced the pillow and sheets so we did appreciate that. We found it to be an unpleasant and uncomfortable place and left early.
Great location and convenient parking space. The host was very responsive. The unit was clean but was the furniture was not as updated as expected and it could use paint job . Overall, a good experience.
This rental was well set for me, my daughter, mother, and grandmother to stay in. Two queen beds accommodated us 4 well, clean room, bedding and towels smell clean and fresh. Hotel in general is clean and well kept.
We had a great stay in this apartment. It was handy to see Waikiki and close enough to walk to Ala Moana Centre. Just a short walk to the lagoon to watch Friday night fireworks too!
The Aqua Palms is a 3 star property. The good - price was good, across the street from HHV, comfortable bed, free parking. The bad - we were on the Covid Quarantine floor. There were 14 rooms on the 3rd floor that were housing quarantine people. I was upset that no one mentioned this to me either prior to me renting or when I checked in. Every time I left my room I secured my mask and held my breath going to the elevator.
The ventilation in the room is poor and it always smelled moldy when you enter the room.
This is my second time staying at AP and probably my last. The hotel part is run down and the trash is over flowing on each floor and it smells. Itâs a shame because I really like the location.
The best thing about this place is the free parking. Although navigating through the lot is a very tight squeeze, nothing beats being able to leave the hotel room and not having to worry about parking coming back. They have beach mats, umbrella, chairs, and a mini cooler to use which is a huge plus as well. Excellent and strong AC unit to cool off. The room doesn't feel very old like many of the buildings in the area. Host was very responsive if we had any questions.
We didn't take advantage of the balcony because it was a little dirty. You will hear traffic since the room is by a big street, but it is not awful by any means.
Would recommend!
