Visits to Hawaii have always been expensive, but each year prices seem to go higher. However, I think if you compare my condo with other options, you will realize it is a good deal. I try to keep the nightly rate about $100 less than what the hotel charges. I want guests to know they are getting a good deal so that they take good care of the condo. I recommend the condo for two guests; there is an extra fee if there are three guests to cover the extra costs.
My Waikiki vacation condo has always been legally registered with the state of Hawaii so no worries about the illegal rentals you may have heard about in Hawaii.
This corner unit in the Pacific Monarch Hotel is on the 20th floor. The views are great and the location of the hotel is in the heart of Waikiki. From the entrance of the hotel it is 500 feet to the sand of Waikiki Beach. I originally got the condo for my parents when they were alive; they very much enjoyed their yearly visits. I myself enjoy the memories and sometimes stay at the condo. Other times, I rent the condo out for others to visit; some guests have been visiting each year for many years. I hope you enjoy your stay if you choose my Waikiki Vacation Condo, but please respect it as a home-away-from-home.
There are many restaurants in the area and the hotel is close to nightlife spots and shopping. The hotel has a recreation room on the top floor with beautiful views of the Ko'olau mountains. The roof-top pool and hot tub also have great views. The common areas of the hotel are neat and clean. You have access to all the amenities of the hotel but you don’t have to pay the hotel’s activity fee. You won’t be able to get beach towels at the front desk but I do have beach towels in the condo. There is free Wi-Fi in the room. A few other minor amenities of the hotel are only for those who pay the amenity fee such as daily newspaper, free shuttle to Ala Moana, beach chairs (there are often some in my condo left by guests), in-room coffee, and free admission to two museums. I bet you can buy those amenities if you wish on your own for a lot less than $25 plus tax per day.
There’s a parking garage attached to the hotel but it’s run by a private company. Anyone (hotel guest or private guest) who parks there needs to pay the $30 per 24 hour time period. There’s a machine that accepts credit cards in the garage
There’s a small but functional kitchen with everything you need to save a little money by eating some of your meals in the condo, all linens and towels are provided. Of course, since it’s offered at such a low price there’s no maid service provided.
The Pacific Monarch is a three-star hotel and NOT right on the beach. There are more luxurious places to stay but A LOT more expensive. I keep the condo very clean but it has more of a home-like feel. I added a new sofa in the living room in November 2023, and I installed new laminate floor in 2020, and new lanai furniture in 2021. All considered, I think that you will enjoy your stay which is my sincere hope.

The condo was clean and well equipped with everything you needed to make you feel right at home. The bed was comfortable. The location is perfect. Within walking distance to everything. The owner, Steve, responds to you promptly if you have any questions or concerns. I highly recommend this condo!

This location is perfect, just t blocks away from the beach well within walking distance. If there was one negative this to say about this property is the AC unit struggled to keep the unit cool during the day when temps went up a bit, however fortunately for us during our stay we had the trade winds that helped to keep the place cool. Other than that the place was wonderful and would definitely return!!
Mahalo Steve!!

In the future won’t stay anywhere else! Very clean condo with huge lanai and panoramic views (ocean out every window)! Condo has a great layout and is perfect for 1-2 people- a new couch/ futon was comfortable for sleeping. Owner Steve was in regular contact with us making sure everything was as expected. Condo In a hotel building in Waikiki surf area- best access to beach, shopping and entertainment, great pool and community spaces with friendly and very helpful staff.

We stayed at the property for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect place. The balcony was beautiful to sit out on and watch the sunrise or sunset, and the early surfers hit the waves. It had everything you needed, and the host Steven was great at answering questions and promptly providing suggestions. The property was as listed, and the rooftop pool area was also amazing. The location was perfect for strolling around Waikiki and getting to the beach among other locations. We would definitely recommend this location and try to book here on our next stay.

I can't say enough about our stay. Best price for our visit to the island. Clean, quiet and well stocked with the essentials. Great location. Great view. Easy check in/out. Friendly staff and clean building. Parking garage available that is connected to building. Owner was very helpful and just a phone call away.

This was a nice clean condo with a great view. Even though the building is back from the beach, the unit has a good view of Waikiki beach. The covered lanai is a comfortable place to have a drink, meal, or just watch surfers. We could even see the Friday night fireworks at the other end of Waikiki beach over the buildings in between. Steve was a very communicative host who answered all of our questions promptly. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Waikiki.
