I want to let you know that the Hokulani Building at Honua Kai is being painted in 2022. The project has started and will run thru Mid 2023 It will affect different units at different times. They will use a large lifts/booms to reach the unit’s lanai which is great. This is a change as they originally were going to install scaffolding. They cannot use spray guns, so they will be hand rolling the paint. In addition, I just received an email from the General Manager that the lifts/booms will not be used from December 19th through January 6th, and all Lanais will be open for use during that period. That’s also great news To all my Hokulani building guests that will be affected or may be affected depending on the progress: Here are your options (1) If they will be actively painting your lanai you can cancel for a full refund at any time prior to arrival (2) If they are actively painting your lanai you will not have access to your lanai from 8 am to 5pm Monday thru Friday. Painters don't work weekends./Holidays. The lanai furniture has to be wrapped in the plastic covering provided during the work hours. The guest is solely responsible for removing and putting the plastic covering on the lanai furniture.(It’s not difficult) (3) If they are actively painting your unit lanai than you will receive a 30% discount off the rate. If you booked thru VRBO I am not sure if they would discount their service fee. This does not apply to all guests of mine, just those effected as defined above. The project is already delayed 6 months, but here is that latest as of September 21, 2022 and is subject to change: Hokulani 733 painting is scheduled to start late January/early February. It should last approximately 4 weeks. The schedule is a moving target and not set in stone. The rates have not been discounted on the current calendar. If a refund applies then we'd issue that during your stay once we know they are painting. As of June 5, 2022 I no longer cooperate with baby rental companies and they WILL NOT be granted access to any of my units. This is non-negotiable. All of my 2 bedroom units have pak n plays in them and sand toys. If you plan on using one of those companies then please book with another company.
