Review Il Buco At Sand Villa Hotel - Honolulu

Amber Lynn Cooper
We had a fantastic stay here for our first time in Hawaii this past October. Just a quick six minute walk from Waikiki beach is SO convenient. Fun shops and restaurants close by. Super attentive and friendly staff. The front desk lady suggested the most beautiful beach to visit which we absolutely loved and greatly appreciated. The room was neat, tidy, and clean. We were able to grab as many beach towels as we needed daily. And we enjoyed the pool/hot-tubs. Everyone was kind. The hotel was under renovations during their slow season when we stayed, which they did let us know about weeks in advance via email. In all honestly the construction didn’t effect our stay in any way and I don’t have any complaints whatsoever. It’s a lovely hotel for a good price. Thanks for a wonderful time!

The rooms are a bit dated in their design but they were rennovating the place while we were there so it may improve. Location-wise, it's a 15 minute stroll to Waikiki Beach so you're close enough to shopping and major tourist spots. There's also a convenience store very close by from the hotel entrance. The service here is great. They lend beach towels for free and you can use the pool and hot tub at their sister hotel, White Sands. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful too. There is valet parking but it'll set you back 40 dollars per night. Overall, I had a great stay despite the construction going on.

Great price and wonderful location. It's close to everything, very walkable to the main strip and Waikiki Beach. My friends and I weren't bothered by the renovation since we are always out and about during the day. The staff was super friendly and helpful. In and out privilege valet parking worked out well. We also borrowed the free beach towels, chairs and umbrellas they provided everyday. I'm very happy about staying at this hotel.

We had a great experience here. We stayed 5 nights and the interaction with all staff was great. Valet team was great and our car was always waiting on us. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Pool/ hot tub area was clean and enjoyable. Just a two block walk to restaurants, shops & the beach! Will definitely stay again :)

Enjoyed a fantastic stay. Excellent in-room amenities. Best part is the convenient location – the hotel is situated just out of earshot from the hustle of Waikiki, but close enough so if we wanted to head to Kalakaua Avenue for the full-on Waikiki experience, it was a short walk from the lobby. Would definitely stay again.

There's a good bit of remodeling and repairs going on, which wasn't mentioned prior to our arrival No breakfast/food on site. We stayed 5 nights and 3 of them we had no air and it was 80⁰ in our room. Staff did do all they could to keep us comfortable. Brought us a fan, and even changed our room. We requested early check in bc standard check-in was 5 hours after our arrival. We had to wait about 4 hours for a room after 24 hrs of flights. But those were minor inconveniences. The staff is absolutely delightful. Prompt service once we got in the room. Walking distance to everything.close to the beach. Cute rooms. Beautiful pool/spa area. The staff makes it feel like home. Can't brag on them enough.

Great place and great location. The remodeling did not bother me and they notified in advance. Think this place doesn't deserve all the bad reviews. It was close to everything, super friendly staff and the rooms were decent. Got a good price so I was super happy about it.

Overall a good stay. Staff is very friendly and front desk was very helpful with questions and concern. Rooms were fairly clean and they have cleaning service every 3 days which was nice. A/C does work but a bit slow (by day 2 our room was cooled). Location is great with a nearby ABC Store and within 6-7 minute walk to the beach.

They were doing renovation in the building, so it looked a little out of wack. The rooms don't have mi rowave or coffee maker if those emenities are important to you. The corner room has a great view looking over the golf course and the mountain. Overall, it's a fine resort for the price.

We had an awesome time in Oahu because of this stay and the staff at the Sand Villa Hotel. They were always ready to give us a helping hand or provide some amazing advice on great local eats and beaches. Every single recommendation lead to another unique and amazing experience. Special thanks to Ikaika, Tiana, Alvin (and Chayanne, might have got the spelling wrong on some of the names, sorry). But all the staff were excellent! The location is really close to the heart of Waikiki Downtown and 10 minutes from the beach so that was a plus! There was some renovations but they did inform us of that before we got there but it didn't bother us too much, and it was usually during the day and we weren't there. I think they will be done construction soon but our room was renovated and looked amazing! When they are done it will be amazing as the Wayfinder! They also were very accommodating and we will definitely be looking here when we come back! Also, they had free gopros, beach equipment to borrow and those were lifesavers for snorkeling and swimming! Thanks to the staff for making this a trip to remember!

The place was great, it was an incredible price considering it was a 5 minutes or less walk from Waikiki Beach. There is a convenient store only a few minute walk away. They were in the middle of some remodels on the place at the time but they were quite and respectful so it was no issue. Plus it means next time it will be looking even better. The staff was friendly and attentive, though house keeping only comes through every third day. They were friendly and if you catch them in the hall of you needed something in one of the off days they happily provided it.
