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.
