I'm staying here February 12-15. So excited! I booked ocean front king. Which tower is preferrable? Also, I'm Diamond (first year!)...will I get club access or is there a dedicated club floor(s)? I tried using DSU but none available - was disappointed. Looks like one has to call months in advance.

I prefer the Diamond Head Tower, but it's currrently under construction and many floors are out of service. It is likely they will put you in the Ewa Tower.
The club is on the 3rd floor of the Diamond Head Tower. There are no longer dedicated club floors, though the upper floors still require keyed access - unless that has recently changed.
That's why you can't get a DSU - the available number is reduced because of the construction.

Actually they have the gadget that requires room key to access the top floors in all the elevators, but they are currently not activated.

Hi! Short-term lurker, first post.
Has anyone stayed in the renovated base suite with the two connecting standard rooms recently? Any opinions on whether the renovation has improved the feel of the suite? Deciding on whether to use a DSU on an upcoming stay, first time back since the renovation. Thanks!

Yes. We both felt this combo was more than adequate even possibly preferred over a nicer suite upgrade. The amount of new surface space, drawers and sofa in parlor murphy room side made it much much more comfortable.

I was fine with catching a few winks on a lanai chair, but the scenario you describe sounds much better for a family staying a few nights.

Agreed. The murphy bed and guess sofa could fit two small kids. The full bathroom set up is a big plus. The best part was the doors to not slam like they used to.
