Pros:

Fantastic property that is in a convenient location to everything. The staff were wonderful and great with kids. We were able to check in early and enjoy the pool right outside our bedroom. The beach is beautiful to walk along and we loved Lava Lava beach club right on site. Highly recommend!

Comfortable with lovely staff.
Pros:

The property is beautifully renovated, comfortable and tropical.

Cons:

After booking a pool view room, we did not realise there is a second pool whose location is not as desirable as the main pool and we were overlooking this pool. This did seem somewhat misleading as it does not appear in the hotel photos.

Tutto. Camera spaziosa, pulita e ben ristrutturata. Bagno molto ampio rispetto allo standard. Comodo il balcone. Ottimo servizio di parcheggio tramite valletto. Zona comune ben attrezzata con piscina e idromassaggio. Con accesso diretto al mare.

Fantastic! Loved being there and definitely want to go back!
Pros:

The location and the facilities were great! It’s so close to a shopping area with good food and has a great restaurant/bar on the property. The setting is gorgeous! It’s right off a walking path and lovely adjacent beaches that were a little calmer than the one on front of hotel. There’s a big grassy area with games, a sweet swing on the lovely beach-so many fun things! The staff was super nice and helpful!

Cons:

Beach break was a little too rough for casual swimming-but the hotel was so awesome, we’d stay again and just walk a bit further other beach options.

Zentral und preisgünstig
Pros:

Zentral gelegen, schöner Strand, die Zimmer funktional, Betten bequem,

Cons:

Unser Zimmer lag zur Einfahrt hin. Morgens um 6:30 fahren die Lieferwagen rückwärts mit sehr lautem Piepen ein und lassen dann während der gesamten Ausladezeit den Motor laufen.

Pros:

Great hotel with a nice pool and adjacent seashore.
Our newly renovated room with 2 queen beds was large and comfortable.
The “Coconut Marketplace” is located right next door with several shops, restaurants and a large grocery store, which is very convenient.

Non ho visto soluzioni migliori nell'isola
Pros:

Struttura di dimensioni "umane" (solo 2 piani), insolita per le Hawaii, perfettamente ubicata per un bagno dalla
spiaggia e per le escursioni giornaliere.
Le camere vista oceano sono assolutamente da preferire. Il ristorante annesso è pure pregevole per ubicazione e qualità delle pietanze

המקום מתאים לדעתי עבור משפחה עם ילדים אך לא לזוג שמחפש יותר נוחות ורוגע
Pros:

המלון קרוב למרכז סחר שיש בו סופר , מסעדות וחנות למשקאות בריאות , וחוף ים צמוד למלון

Cons:

המיטה לא הייתה נוחה , דלת כניסה לחדר לא אטומה ונכנסו חרקים בשתי לילות מתוך השלוש שישנו במלון ,

Great Staycation!
Pros:

My Ohana and I rented a few kitchenette rooms to celebrate my sister’s birthday and my nephew’s 2nd birthday, and we had an amazing time! 🎉

From the moment we arrived, all of the employees were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The property itself was absolutely beautiful—the grounds were well-maintained, tropical, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time with Ohana.

The kitchenette was stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to cook breakfast and lunch together.

One evening, we had dinner at Lava Lava Beach Club, and it was delicious! The service was excellent, and the food was so ono. We also loved the lawn games—they were fun for both the kids and adults, and ending the evening around the fire pit made it even more special.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and made so many unforgettable memories celebrating together. We highly recommend staying here and can’t wait to come back for another staycation!🌺🌴
