Very dated hotel. Bedding, towels, paint, carpet. They need a remodel.
Mahsa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The view is amazing and the rooms are kept clean and comfortable. The luau was fun and the food was excellent. I think it’s a little ridiculous to have to pay for a resort fee and parking when you are spending good money to stay here though. Seems like that should be included in the stay. Overall a very relaxing and nice place to stay.
Kyle, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a huge corner room with a lovely view. Rooms were nice, though older. Could tell that renovations are being done, just not all at once.
Alyssa, 1-night trip

Loved our hotel. Only thing was there is music playing from town on the weekends late at night. But I was so tired from our beach adventures I went right to sleep. The AC was perfect. Will be staying here again for sure!

Karen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was wonderful! The rooms are a little old, but nice. The beds were not as comfortable as we would like. We reserved a partial ocean view room with a balcony and we had a great view of the bay. I liked our view better than a full ocean view. Food was very good and service was great. We attended the luau! We paid the extra for VIP at the luau. Well worth the price.

Highly recommend

Our stay was fantastic. The room, even though it was in a construction zone, was quiet and comfortable. Too many amenities to list. And the resort is in a great location near shops and restaurants right on the beach.

Great place, but it is dated. If you're looking for luxury, try something else, but the location is fantastic and the views are beautiful. Walking distance to so many restaurants, stores, sites, etc.
