This is not a resort on any level. It is a 1960s aged attempted remodel that is so bad that I can’t even image why it had not be condemned. The place stinks of mold. The AC and fan do not work. There is uneven water pressures and little hot water. The towels smell. The door locks don’t work all the time. This hotel in not ADA compliant hence no ramps or elevators. The parking is bad. The on site eating location is not owned by the motel so they have a separate set of rules such as no drinks in the pool or no food. The wait staff hate their jobs. Really hate them. The drinks are not good. The parking is tight. And the layout to get in and out is tough. The rooms are too small. The bathroom counter is 20 inches so not room for anything. The beds hit the walls so you have to climb in the bed from the footer, the place was dirty. The have a lot of bugs in my room I booked for 7 nights and try to make it work but bay day 3 I left this circus circus looking attempt at a resort and went down 3 properties to stay at the Sheraton which was excellent across the board. What a difference. This was the worst place I ever stayed anywhere in the world and I had a few bad ones but this is simply so low end everywhere. The food was bad. The drinks were bad. I still have nightmares about so clown living in the closet it is really that bad.

We paid extra for an ocean view and we had no ocean view. I’m fCt, there are no rooms on this property that can view the ocean because on the layout. I feel like a gigantic sucker. It was complete false advertising. As you can see from their pictures on line. I feel very badly for anyone that gets roped into staying here on their vacation.

Mahalo for your feedback! Oceanview rooms are located in the Lei and Mauka building and have either a side view or direct view. We are very sorry for your negative experience and that you were not happy with your room. Should you return we'd be happy to place your room in a more favorable area.

The property is well maintained and very pleasant to look at. The ocean is what makes this unique. You hear, see and smell the ocean at all times. I is so beautiful and peaceful. The staff sets this property apart. Kaipo, Kama, Dominick, Luh'ee and Dell were just stellar. They love their island and their jobs.

The outside areas of the property were nice, but our room was unacceptable. Unfortunately it was a last minute because of spring break everything was booked. Lets just say we stayed at another hotel the next night for a third of the price and it was cleaner

Although a great spot, and the adjoining Restaurant Lava Lava was nice. The pool is old, undated, and uninviting and with 200 rooms only had around 14 chairs at the pool. The beach they did nothing with it chairs ect.... when going for two weeks you was not provided a dresser only two small nightstand like drawers and only about 10 hangers, your room does not have a microwave only a minifridge. I did eventually find a microwave inconveniently located in the ice room in another building. The beds were comfy the staff was friendly I just feel like they could do so much more with this property to make it more accepting and appealing.

Nice beachfront location with two swimming pools, hot tub and on-site dining. Property is a 60s era hotel, and only big complaint is the horrifically small parking spaces; we had a very small car and could barely fit between the painted lines!
