In general I agree but we had 1450 two trips ago and we could hear the Olelo room loud and clear. Somehow it was louder up on the 14th floor than when we were 10 floors lower this past trip.
This is entirely family-specific. We fly direct from the East Coast so we have a big time zone adjustment all at once. My kids adjust eventually but I don't sleep past 4am in Hawaii, ever. That means I often have several hours each day where I'm awake and on the balcony by myself.
We are West Coast (So Cal), so we have the shortest possible flight, but I still love my early morning lanai time. Started doing it nearly 30 years ago when our favorite destination was the Hilton Hawaiian Village (at first the Rainbow Tower, and later the Alii), and it's a tough habit to break. I also end just about every night reading for a bit out there as well. Paperbacks are long-gone and now it's Kindle on the iPad, but the ritual remains.
In my opinion, the best ocean views are the ones that are furthest from the ocean, as high up as you can get ending in 50.
That's a nice view! Still not enough for me to book OV though.
I think it’s subjective as to whether you prefer to be closer to the water…but it if anybody has collected the in room views from various points in the building all in one place I would love to compare. It’s so hard to tell if the angle from any given room is straight off the balcony or 45 degrees or even 80 degrees from edge of balcony.
Not worth it! Standard view is all we do! You get the Ocean view all day while at the pools or at the beach!
Poolside, closer to the lobby with a more direct angle: 50, 52, 54, 56, and 58.
This is extremely useful. Now I need to figure out when the sunset is viewable on each of those sides.
Looks lovely! Can I ask what your request stated? Thanks!
Request was "High floor facing Waikolohe Valley and room ending in **72, **78, or **84 if possible." We ended up in 1478.
Was this trip in March?
