The best is the balcony at the Banyon !!
We enjoyed our stay at the Banyon !! The condo is just as the listing says it is. The beds are very comfortable. The AC keeps the place cool. We loved having breakfast on the balcony and watching the sunsets at night from there.
The location is excellent. It is 2 blocks from the beach and close to many restaurants. There is an ABC market close by for quick snacks and other necessities. Of course, Leonard’s malasadas are a must stop and is a few minutes away by car. We also especially enjoyed Me-BBQ, a Korean restaurant a few blocks away. But the ultimate Korean BBQ restaurant is Soon’s Kal Bi Drive In (898 Ala Lilikoi St, Honolulu, HI 96818) that is 20 minutes away by car.
Having included free parking is great. The clearance is low (6ft) and the spaces are tight but once you get the hang of navigating the garage, it is a big bonus.
The only cons to the condo is the shower water pressure from the shower head is low, there is no dishwasher, the TV is not a newer smart TV so streaming isn’t available, and the starter supplies (paper towels, laundry detergent etc.) are minimal.
Overall, the pros greatly outweigh the cons and we would want to stay here again.
