We are not in a remodeled unit in the Lanai tower, but it's still beautiful and doesn't really need updating, not in my opinion.

When we saw the refrigerator in the unit, we were worried our food wouldn't fit into that little thing, but it did fit with room left over. We did bring our electric griddle for breakfast and grilled sandwiches or omelets later. We have an abundance of eggs right now, having purchased our limit at Costco and our limit at Napili Market.

If this was a Soleil-managed property, they would call the remodel good for at least another 15 years. Kind of a huge difference in management companies and exactly why I am going to see about deeding back our Hono Koa units to Soleil. $3,258 for an annual week at Hono Koa, and even though it's 40 feet to the ocean, it's not the quality or the comfort of Marriott and Westin. The oceanfront view at Hono Koa cannot be beat, but there is no AC, making it difficult to stay anytime during summer, especially July-September.

Can you tell which tower(s) they are working on? Have an upcoming reservation and trying to figure out where I should request.

We just have a view of the dumpsters and the park, but there are constant dumping of trucks into the dumpsters. I hope they aren't throwing out these great beds. Someone can use these beds.

usually when resorts upgrade, they donate the former furnishings to habitat for humanity after they offer them to their employees.

Non-stop dumpsters are not quite what we'd like to see if we were on vacation. :)

Most places won't accept beds (if you're talking mattresses). They always tell students not to bring home beds that may have just been put out at the curb for garbage pick-ups. Too many different types of critters that might be in beds.

And yes, I know those beds would be coming from a professional lodging facility that knows how to spot and deal with such critters. Unlike the average airbnb host who decides to rent out part of his house. But still.
