Great location with an Hawaiian feel. Connected to the Lava Lava Club which was convenient. Also right next to the Coconut Market place. Parking was kind of a pain as spots were small and it was hard to park straight. Staff were friendly and the grounds were kept clean.

The staff was friendly. Dinner at Lava Lava was delicious. The room was quiet enough to write my book. Only thing the pillows were so uncomfortable, I wasn’t able to get a good nights rest.

Friendly staff who goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Beautiful outside area. Only complaint is the parking spaces are too tight, barely big enough to get out of one's car. Free valet parkingnis available but we don't like to use valet parking.

Very happy with our 8 day stay. Room was clean and the hotel pools and spa were great. Hotel is on the beach, although not sure how safe the ocean is at this location. No one was in the water that far out in the water. Very nice beach though. As such, we stayed along the shore line. Hotel has bikes that allow you to ride along the beach bike path which was nice. Staff is onsite 24 hours a day and were extremely friendly. Hotel is next to the coconut market place next to it, so there is plenty of food options if you don’t wait to eat at hotel and save some money. Pizza, BBQ, Chinese etc…. Pizza was a great deal. Location of hotel on the island puts you close to many attractions either to the north or south. Your kind of central. Only negative for me was the parking if you show up late in the day. Parking sites are narrow. There are wider sites for those who get back early. They also have valet parking as an option though. Overall, great place to stay. I’ll stay again.
