The Resort was very nice.the room was big with king size bed, TV, coffee machine and sofa. With lagoon and ocean view.We stayed the tower near lagoon so there’s a lot of remodeling from 9am to 4pm and we was able to hear the noises in the AM so if you planning to stay there ask to stay far from remodeling building.other wise we stayed there comfortable. Resort has bar and restaurant that is selling very great food and drinks. All the restaurants and bar are walking distance near the hotel no need to get Uber or Tax to go to eat.The sunset outside the Resort is beautiful, you should try to see that before you leave. We will stay here next time.

Love the traditional Hawaiian vibe. Can’t wait to see when the remodel is complete! Rooms are well appointed, staff were amazing, no complaints. The restaurant and bar also had fantastic options that are well priced for the area. Great location to town, night life, and just a short drive to the airport.

"Good stay, just minor items."

Positives: Location, staff is good, gym is nice, laundry facilities are great (we were there for two weeks so that mattered), restaurant was good, luau was spectacular. Thanksgiving dinner was amazing! Negative: pool area had beautiful and comfy chairs overlooking the water with umbrellas but because they are so heavy, you can’t move them so you get shade for maybe one hour. My husband has skin cancer and I’m fair skinned, so we need shade. If you need shade, you can manage with the less comfy chairs that don’t have the view, but you can at least move them. There is also a prohibition about food not purchased at the hotel. I get them wanting the money for their restaurant, but sometimes you just want something light and that wasn’t a choice. I think there were activities but we were not told about that at check in nor is anything published, would have been nice to know. Overall, good value for the location.

Wait until the construction renovations are complete. The constant drilling and hammering noises with many areas closed off made this an unpleasant stay for us. Construction started at 6:00 am. Once complete, this would be a lovely resort in a good location.
