I would give this a 4.5 star if that was available due to the noise & privacy, but we enjoyed our stay & would stay again. It was great being able to run to the car, pool and front desk as this unit is the closest to all. However, the luggage carts are right outside, so you hear everyone checking in and out. Lower units also have more noise & less privacy due to people socializing out in front. The price may be lower than others due to this. We had stayed at a higher unit before & you had a view along the coastline that you don't have with a 1st story. There was a small beach in September that was not there in December due to winter weather. It's a 2 minute walk to get to the beach nextdoor. Nice pool, BBQ, grass, lobby & lounge areas. However, this unit had less basic condiments than others I have stayed in. The management company was quick in responding to our questions & needs. The unit was clean & furniture comfortable. We only used the aircon for a cpl hours as we preferred the ocean breeze. It seemed efficient. The lock on living room screen door did not work. That should be fixed on a 1st floor unit. I like the Royal Kahana property, but the parking fees keep going up. $18 for 2024! We had the travel day from hell & didn't get to the condo until 1:30 am. No security guard or front desk person there. When I went to pay my parking the next day, they charged me for the previous day. Wasn't worth disputing. Front desk employees were friendly & helpful.
