Overall, we had a great stay, but there a several touches that could make this condo absolutely amazing. Some of the cons are for the Diamond Head Condominium itself *not room 208 and I don’t know to whom to address those problems too.
Pros:
-Location is wonderful! Easy walk to beach.
-Large space in living areas
-Keycode instead of a door key is brilliant and made leaving so effortless
-Parking spot couldn’t have been better right up front by stairs and elevator
-Plenty of electrical outlets
-Large kitchen and storage areas for food
-Nice small recliner for child
-Air conditioning was very cold and nice
-WiFi signal was awesome
-TONS of room compared to any other place we’ve ever stayed
Cons:
-Many things in the condo are just on the verge of breaking (particularly the vertical blinds which we were afraid to open, shower doors, toilet flusher, most balcony chairs)
-As mentioned by another reviewer, the small toilet with the fabric seat is not comfortable and had to hold down the handle to flush. Fix? Replace toilet
-Tons of light switches and dials with no labels on them so you spend a lot of time playing with them wondering what they are even functioning. Fix? Label all lights
-Lots of big and small pieces of rusty metal was left on balcony. It appeared a chairs and tables were rusting away.
With a small child in tow, I couldn’t avoid NOT cleaning it up. It took quite a bit of time and we still never went barefoot on the balcony in case tiny metal pieces remained. Fix? Get a magnetic sweeper to remove all remains
-All but 2 plastic balcony chairs were very rusty. Fix? Remove all metal chairs/tables
-Hard to get balcony door slid open and concerns of it staying locked while you were out there
-No security at the condo
-Parking spot is beside an unloading zone, but yet there was often someone parked there. Fix? Get security
-No way to bring up your items easily (i.e. large bin or luggage racks) Fix? Get some bins
-Too many smokers at the pool disregarding posted signs that say “No Smoking”. Fix? Get security
-On the 3rd floor above the pool, there’s an older senior family that live there all summer and they watch the area like hawks. We heard them verbally bully several people and young children as they watched over them swimming multiple days. Meanwhile they were smoking at the pool in the corner all morning long. Fix? Get security
