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.

This is a great place to stay at right by the ocean! The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the Lava Lava cafe is a total rip off, way too expensive, you will get fleeced.

Loved everything about it! Ideally, we like to stay in a one or two bedroom, however, this studio to queen bed hotel room with the garden view was perfect! Super clean, amazing garden area and swimming pool, and we love the restaurant and the waterfront Access! Staff was very friendly! It’s really cool today. Have water filtration systems around the property as well! Definitely must stay again!

I received a bottle of white wine as a welcome gift. That was nice. I paid extra for the renovated room with a garden view. The room was clean and spotless; however, my room had no view as it was facing the fence. I wouldn't call it a garden view. The chemical smell inside the room was overpowering. Both my mom and I woke up with a cough and runny nose due to the smell of paint. Additionally, my room didn't have a safe box. The self-parking spots are limited, and there was no clear sign in the parking lot. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use any of their amenities. I wish the resort fee was optional. Furthermore, their wifi was spotty and didn't work most of the time. I wouldn't choose to stay there again.
