For the terms of a normal room, we got a 2 sleeping room penthouse suite overlooking Waikiki Beach and facing Diamond Head. This was a corner room with four 10 ft sliding glass doors so it was like having glass walls and you could see everything. It had every agreeableness and our children almost went nuts using Jacuzzi tubs, making repasts in the kitchen and sitting on the two verandahs overlooking the beach.

No matter when you see this waterfall it is amazing and it gives off a different appearance at night and during the day.
