We moved in a year ago and love our place. It was a spur of the moment idea that went from let's check out some condos in ward area, to saying this was the one in a heartbeat. The unit we choose had a long and spacious living room and the master bedroom is also super long and spacious. However there are only a handful of units with this much space. The building has many great amenities we enjoy frequently such as the swimming pool and jacuzzi, BBQ pavilions, outdoor party area, two theaters, gym, and restroom with a sauna and shower at the Rec deck. The staff is great, very friendly, remembers your name, and always so helpful. There are a few quiet ones, but they are still polite. The janitorial staff is also amazing, always doing a great job to keep common areas in top shape. The building is also family friendly and does an event here and there for family and kids such as a lion dance, Halloween, Easter candy, etc. It's not a five star because there are a few downsides. The building is older so things breakdown and sometimes take a good amount of time to be fixed. There are also a fire alarm issue here and there. All and all, we love living here and the convenience of Al that's available in the ward area. read more

Convinient locations i admit but their parking sucks, so narrow and also their driveway. Compare to Moana Pacific ehere we stsyed for a year i didn't use the sir conditioning, here at Pacifica Honolulu i always used air conditioning its too hot, maybe because the way the design it. read more

We found the perfect Luxury Condo in Kakaako Honolulu near everything! Walking distance to the concert hall, Ala Moana Shopping center. Restaurants, cafes,etc! Excellent amenities include first class pool, jacuzzi, sauna, locker rooms, gym cabanas, BBQ area, 2 in house theatres! Award winning management!!! The unit is on the cooler side of the building with the Mountain View! We realized the other side gets really hot with the afternoon sun and too many new high rises popping up isn't worth the peek-a-boo ocean view. read more

Great friendly staff with plenty of aloha for all residents and their guests. Glad to hear they won building of year! They all deserve it

Maintenance and staffing is amazing. Great service and more than happy being here! They are always fast and quick to response and always happy to help! read more

Spectacular view of the marina! This is my parent's abode when they're feeling urban. It's a great place to spend the long weekend to take advantage of the amenities such as the steam room, dry sauna, workout room, heated lap pool and spa. There are also plenty of comfy seating with several private designated places for a roof party. No time for partying for us...just rest and relaxation. I believe that some of the condos can be rented out. My parents will hate me for this, but I can see this place as a great New Years Eve party place! read more

The views from the Condos are to die for!!!!! I went to a mini-get-together on the 24th Floor and it was amazing!!!! i love the stretched window in the living room. It seemed as if it were from the ceiling to the floor. I would definitely like to own a place similar to this. It would be a great get-away from noise and family and a good place to entertain friends at such a young age. The place does need a little more guest parking, but at least there is the main road and street parking all around the building. I really love their elevator system, it is very high tech and kind of hard to describe in words. You just have to go and visit someone there :) It does seem like a very expensive place to live in though. Hopefully i will be able to save enough money to live there or else be able to buy one in the future for my future kids to enjoy with their friends. read more

The 1 star is for the housekeeping team for keeping the building clean and are always polite. The GM and his admin assistant are also very friendly. The fitness center is also nice. That's it on the positive side. The other yelp feedback about the elevators and fire alarms are all true. I am so sick of the fire alarms going off so often , it irritates me and since it happens so much, a lot of other residents including myself just ignore the fire alarms when they sound because the staff always says it is a false alarm. The elevators break down often and are so slow and the panels are always out of order. The panel on my parking floor has been broken for almost a year and it is still not fixed. Noise transfer is bad , I can hear my neighbor vacuuming and there seems to be a younger crowd of renters in this building because there's always parties going on. Most of the front desk people have a bad attitude, laughing loudly and eating at the front desk like it's their home. Unprofessional. They seem to be annoyed when residents get mail from them or ask them to do something. There is also a huge turnover of staff. The white girl with very short hair does not acknowledge people, does not smile and has no aloha spirit. My neighbor told me she is the front desk supervisor and we both don't understand how someone who is so unprofessional can be a front desk supervisor. I also heard rumors that a staff member was under the influence ( of alcohol or drugs or both?) and passed out in his car in residential parking. Unbelievable. I guess such a behavior is acceptable because that guy is still working at the building. Not sure if the board is aware of all these issues but hopefully someone says something to them because the standard is going down. With all the other new condos coming up, I'll be looking to move soon. Ugh read more

Wow, what a nice place this is! I have to say that after taking a look at the property from a couple of different units to checking out the amenities, this place is spectacular. Although the units I saw were rather small (small bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchen), it more than makes up for it with Pacifica being so new, clean, and maintained. The amenities are impressive too. This building sports an infinity pool with a waterfall jacuzzi, a male and female sauna, a plethora of barbecues and barbecue areas, two movie theater rooms, and a gym. I was not too happy with the gym though when I took a look at it. There was no weight bench, no barbells, no squat rack, and the dumbbells only went up to 50 pounds. One great thing is that at the bottom of the building there are a few great restaurants like Chef Chai and Doraku. Also, Ward Center, Ward Warehouse, and Blaisdell Center are close by. read more

Just went to a party here that was held at the Pavilion, and WoW what a beautiful building. The elevator totally tripped me out since there are no buttons in the inside. (Well, there are three... but there are 46 floors!!! O_o) Anyways, I got to walk around and saw that they had a few BBQ areas, a weight room, and a theatre room too. The amenities were so cool, I'd live in it! read more

Been living here for almost 2 years. Hubby & I fell in love with this building because it has a chic feel, but mostly because it has a dog friendly park! It's an actual park on street level with real grass and trees. There are off leash hours, 7-10pm. Of course, we wish those hours were longer and when the sun is actually shining. There were some major staff issues when we first moved in - ain't gonna lie. We have a new manager now and so far, he is moving and shaking and getting good things done. Our HOA fees just went up, which is a bummer. HOA fees should increase about 2% per year over the long haul. I think they went up recently by 6% which is kind of a lot. However, fees need to increase somewhat regularly to keep the reserves strong for capital improvements. So much stuff broke under the former manager and he seemed to be asleep at the wheel. Back to the building itself - staff is great. Our unit is super small and lacks storage. As for the amenities, sense of community, and location, you really can't find better value in Kakaako. We're still a somewhat affordable product compared to the Ward Village condos, but with a luxury feel. Sure, the rec deck is hella windy, but that's not the building's fault and I'm not about to question God on why He blows the air so hard. Is it perfect? No. What place is? Do I wish I had a lanai? Yes. I have to give it 5 stars because I really believe there's no building like it and under our new management, I am hopeful it only shines its blue lights even brighter amidst all the new condos coming up. read more

I lived here for a full year. the fire alarms will randomly go off for no reason, in the middle of the night as well. the alarm blares for at least 5 minutes, and the elevators can not be used. i had to walk 30+ flights to go to work when this happened. Management doesn't allow overnight guests, they close down the 5th floor rec area when there is heavy winds, if no one is using the bbq grills you still have to reserve it even if you are using it that moment. The garage door is broken every month and has to be fixed. The AC units in the apartment are subpar, and my electricity bill was 300$/month. I have lived in multiple major cities and now live in another part of Oahu. Letting you know that this is a big rip-off. Respect Property Management will also keep your deposit. be careful. read more

LOVE living here! The hubby and I never thought we would be the type to live in a high-rise due to our two dogs and active lifestyle (lugging surfboards and golf clubs up and down an elevator, what?! ) HOWEVER living in Pacifica has completely changed our minds. Previously we lived in a big house on the north shore and before that, an ultra convenient walk-up in Diamond Head. We were afraid that Pacifica would feel clinical, small and inconvenient in comparison but were happy to be proven wrong. I read the previous yelp reviews so knew what to be skeptical of but did not have the same experience. Here's our take: - Pacifica staff are professional, kind and friendly - while some parking spots are definitely smaller, our spot is massive. in addition to our car- we fit 2 bikes and a moped while still leaving plenty of space for our neighbor cars. - the windows don't open much but we run the AC when we get home in the evenings and it honestly isn't that much $ - always a grill available to use and they are big and luxe - pool and hot tub are clean, its been basically empty every time we are there. Maybe its just us but its not crowded at all. - the hot tub is more of a warm tub but there are vents in it that blast hot water so if u stand over a vent it's OK for a little while - there IS street noise from ghetto Waimanu that kind of stinks... even with our windows closed we can still hear shouting late at night sometimes - rooms are all huge with extra space to put in your own storage, even the bathroom is big. - Pacifica's "community park" aka dog park makes this the best condo to live in if u have dogs. - the high speed elevators make elevator living not so bad - in the absence of a garage, we rented a ground floor storage space nearby. Its walking distance, easy to get to and means we don't have to lug the sports equipment up the elevator! - doraku and blue tree downstairs= yum!! For context, we live in a 1br + den, ocean view side. Overall, Pacifica is awesome! read more

Lived here for a year and a half. The amenities are ok, but the maintenance fees are over the top for average services. 1) weight room is ok, but only has very light free weights and VERY STRICT dress codes 2) Some of the security staff are nice, but some are terrible...even if you live there. 3) Parking is terrible. No motorcycle parking and the spaces are so small that you get dings in your doors. 4) The rooms/units are TINY! 12x12 rooms? Can barely fit a queen sized bed in there. 5) STORAGE SPACE. There is none in the units and the closets are so TINY! 6) Maint fees. $800 bucks! Holy crap FOR WHAT? 7) View. That's the ONLY good thing about this building is the view. 8) HEAT. If you don't run your AC all day, these units get so damn hot. The windows only open like one inch, and there is only one window per room. ZERO cross breeze 9) Pool is too hot and hot tub is too cold 10) On the weekends the "amenities" are so crowded that its like being at a public pool...might as well go to the public pool and save 800 bucks a month. 11) BBQ areas are nice and clean but they put so much wood treatment on the chairs that you get a brown ass every time you sit down. Recommendations. -Live somewhere else, save your money and don't waste it on this econo-building faux-luxury living. read more

Update: Management still leaves this place at a 1 star, which is a shame because the rest of the staff is pretty awesome, especially with the new hires lately and the right veterans sticking around. *Pool is still warm and usually grimey *Hot Tub is still a cold tub *it still takes forever for anything to get fixed I'll miss the friendly staff when we leave but not the building! Update 2016!: Yay! The pool is finally cool-ish, but the hot tub IS HOT!! A weekend renovation to split the two made a major improvement. I said it before and I will say it again- the PSAs in this building I think by far are the best. They continue to recruit new faces, but the Aloha spirit seems to be a requirement to work here. They for sure make up for some of the other less appealing aspects which to me seem to fall directly back on management. However, I hear the building is on the hunt for a new manager. Fingers crossed a good one is found to compliment the super staff! read more

I had to drop my rating over the ridiculous enforcement of stupid rules lately. It's interesting how there can be a smashed cockroach in a hallway for over 2 months without being cleaned up (disgusting) but run 5 minutes late on guest parking and watch how fast the front desk is calling. I have a feeling the management at this building holds it back. read more

I was debating between one star or two stars... The one star goes to the maintenance team and few front desk staff who holds pride to their job.The building used to have better a management team and front desk staff when it was first running, but it's been going down south. There are a lot to be said. In short, mediocre management team and inferior customer service. Management is managing the staff very loosely. They are complacent about poor performing or unprofessional team members. I supposed they just don't see it. The managers might be working hard themselves. However, they fail to react to personnel problems and issues that soon fester. Managers don't get it that customer service is basic, yet essential and major for service-oriented positions and businesses. Managers are clueless and the residents are too nice to say something. It's a shame. Residents are paying a lot for the managers and staff. read more

My girlfriend rents out her condo here and recently showed me around the complex. Compared to the building she was staying in, Pacifica seems pretty nice. I like the large BBQ/party areas along with the theater room. read more

Awesome Building!!! So, I read one of the reviews and I wanted to check out this building during a recent visit. 1) Security Security Security. Which is Great! Security at the front desk, secured doors, high tech security elevators, security personnel walking around the building. My friend likes tons of security in a building and so do I. 2) Great amenities. Edgeless pool, beautiful views, nice gym, theaters, dining areas and BBQ grills. I think this building has a very relaxing and peaceful feel to it. 3) Gorgeous views from the units! So wonderful... literally every room in my friend's unit has a spectacular view. Living in paradise requires a great view. 4) Peaceful and nice. It was like I stepped into a quiet peaceful sanctuary with a great view. People that I met on the recreation deck and in the building were really friendly. Seems like a very family friendly environment. 5) Great location!!! Wow. This place is so close to Ala Moana Center, Ward, and right across the street from the special events arena. After dinner we walked to Ala Moana and it took us less than 5 minutes. I'm actually looking to buy a unit in the building now. I read one of the reviews and asked my friend about the issues and I found out the garage door has been replaced and the electricity bill is no where near $300 a month for my friend. The so called alarms blaring in the middle of the night is a lie. My friend has lived in the building since it opened and the alarm does not go off randomly in the middle of the night. There are also pubic BBQ grills that don't have to be reserved. The theaters have to be reserved of course, but those are so cool. Also when I was there it got so late that I had to spend the night at my friend's place. There was no problem. I'm thinking that the reviewer was a disgruntled Renter who ran into problems with his property manager because of the deposit that was kept from him when he moved for whatever reason... probably related to why he's posting a review. JMHO read more

We've been living here since day one and my entire family loves it. We always have friends over and they are impressed by the view and amenities! The bi-laws are a little strict though, but for good reason as this is a luxury condo. We have a large security staff as well so you always feel safe. read more
