This was a comfortable, nice ground floor unit. It didn't matter that we couldn't see the ocean as I am an animal lover and from our lanai, you could see quail, doves and turkeys. They were out almost every day. And no traffic noise!Being on the north side of the unit also has another advantage - no sun shinning in at the hottest part of the day, the unit stayed cooler than others we have stayed in on the south side. We really liked the stay at this unit and would recommend it. If I had to list one complaint, it would be that the bed kept sliding apart - bottom mattress, middle mattress, top cover mattress and whatever else was on there. It maybe could be upgraded. All appliances and utensils and furniture were ok with us an the Hawaiian atmosphere was good. We are currently in another unit that faces Kuakini highway -- Oh my god, soo noisy and needs a serious update. Basically, we liked the unit and would stay again any time.
