Grand Waikikian 3605 Penthouse 2 BR. Note that this suite and 07 have balconies that extend out further than the rest of the balconies on this side. Nice in that the view isn't obstructed at all by other balconies. You'll notice this in picture #3.

Thanks for the photos. :)
How did you get this picture of Diamond head and the ocean from a 1BR Mountain room at Grand Islander?
Does the Mountain View rooms have a window that faces the Diamond head side? :unsure:

This was from the balcony. Friends are in 1813 and cannot see DH or the ocean. I was very surprised when we got this floor. Everytime I have booked a 1br Island View, we have been no higher than the 22nd floor. We have stayed here at least a dozen times.

Checked in this past Sunday for 2 weeks at Lagoon Tower Ocean Front 2br unit. Asked for a high floor a week in advance. Notified at check in that guests checking in yesterday (Saturday) would get better placement and I would get lower unit. Happy that ee got 1466. Here are some pics from left side balcony. Sitting out here responding to some emails on my computer.

Happy Holidays to my TUG family!
