Really cute boutique style hotel. All staff were friendly. Housekeeping was missed in our room a few times(over a 7 day stay) but we weren't really bothered by that. Really good breakfast with some sort of eggs(either premade omlettes) and either bacon or sausage. Lots of fresh fruit, oatmeal and little turnovers, croissants, buns, muffins, bread. 24 hr access to microwave, coffee and tea in the lobby. The filtered water dispensers were a godsend and saved us from having to buy bottled. Only a minifridge in the room. Thought I would miss having an inroom coffee maker but not a big deal. We booked a "suite" which was basically 2 rooms connected with a doorway(no door) but the 2 bathrooms was a godsend with 3 people! The hotel has beach towels,chairs,umbrellas, cooler bags, beach mats for patrons to use. Use your room key to access the room, no need to sign anything out. The neighbourhood was perfect for a group of 7 and no car. Everything was walkable. I only wish there was a reasonably priced grocery store nearby. We bought healthier snacks(apples, yogurt etc) at the Waikiki Market which would be comparable to a Whole Foods vibe. There are at least 4 food trucks within a 1 or 2 block radius. The beach is 2 blocks away. There's a city bus stop right outside the hotel door. I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend Vive!
