Proximity to beach, room was perfect for two which was a King studio. Will be great when island view roof top opens. All extra charges a bit much for beach chairs etc but discount nice. Lady at Graces treated me poorly, every morning i would go for 2 large coffees and felt it was an issue to get served on my last day i did the same 2 large coffees, while she was filling my cups a 2nd guy came up and ordered 2 large coffees, she said here you go giving hom mine, the gentleman said are you sure these are mine while i stood there between them she said yes, he knew theu weren't but she emphasize they were. So i had to wait while she took care of him to get my coffees. Typically when im treated poorly i would say something, this tome i didn't and even tip her. But i told my wife i should go back and asked her why? I didnt, she was training someone also. Tempted to send her name. Disappointed guest.

My husband and I visited Lani Kai on our honeymoon and were very happy with our stay. Our room was clean and bright, the atmosphere was fun and festive, and the staff were warm and welcoming. We would definitely come back again.

Our stay was over all amazing. We arrived early and checked in but our room was not quite ready. They called us as soon as it was and we appreciated that. While we waited we ate a late breakfast at the cafe on the first floor. Service was fast at first. Our food arrived and was brought by someone other than who took our order. It was not even warm but no one was around to tell. We ate because we were starving and finished before anyone came back.

This was a great spot for a girls' trip. Amazing views. Super clean. Food on site was great. Later hours for food options would be nice, but we understand it isn't lucrative enough to have late night hours. Room was quiet even while music and activities were happening outside. Pool was clean and just warm enough to be comfy to get in while still being refreshing. Would absolutely stay here again! I did not give 5 stars for a couple minor details that kept it from being truly perfect. The door to the room is installed in a way that is a bit loose in the frame causing it to shake every time the wind blew. Sounded like someone knocking on the door every few minutes around the clock. Additionally, while the dehumidifier was certainly helpful for keeping the climate comfortable in the room, it needed to he emptied several times a day and when it became full it would beep loudly many times in a row. We would empty it a couple times during the day and then immediately before going to sleep but were still woken up by it alarming at 3 or 4 in the morning.
