We stayed in the Aqua Palms for a week to visit while our son was attached to Hickham AFB. The property is within walking distance of anywhere we wanted to go downtown, and a good base for day trips (although the traffic at noon and dinner is crazy at times). From the property, we could easily walk to the beach, restaurants or cafes for meals, convenience stores, coffee, local shops, the mall, Planet Fitness, etc. One thing we really appreciated was the opportunity to have a coin laundry on the hotel premises, as it was nice to launder clothes after hiking. Since we are a military family, we walked to the Hale Koa restaurant and beach bar a few times and shopped at the BX. We did notice that the room was loud; it faces the street and vehicle noise can be heard; usually not an issue after dark. Even though we were there over Memorial Day weekend, parking at the on site parking garage was never an issue. Little known fact, there is free coffee in the lobby from the coffee machine and a water station to fill your bottles before beaching, exploring, and hiking. Thank you, we would stay again!
