Even though the condos are individually owned, the rooms all have the same pleasant decor. This is one of the nicer Astons, and the rooms are comfortably sized. Staff is excellent and very warm, and services are reasonably high. It’s also a nice touch that the windows, even in the bedrooms, are floor to ceiling, making maximum use of whatever view the room has. End units facing Diamond Head have great views, even on relatively low floors (though floors 25 and higher are still preferred). They added a free hospitality room by the pool for late checkouts with access to showers, TV and computers. It’s not a Real Gem or a Solid Gold Value, but it’s got some components of both. 1/1s (515 sq. ft.) are $419–$499. 2/1s (590 sq. ft.) are $599–$639, 2/2s (1,200 sq. ft.) are $789–$859. Few pay these rack rates.
