Catamaran Kahanu Tours

Room was too outdated. Staff were fantastic, Didn’t have to use the hot tub and spa. Parking charges is ridiculously expensive although knew that per booking. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet every day to start our day and had a great time mainly relaxing by the pool and walks on the beach.

Beautiful grounds, pools, and views, and good service. However, food was mediocre and extremely overpriced at every dining option. Also, room design, though aesthetically attractive, was very impractical with no privacy (one sink in area in full view, open shower, sliding glass door to toilet), low lighting, and few surfaces to put things on. I’d question the brand overall - fussy, expensive health food with very little flavor and all sorts of seemingly arcane health and wellness spa services (who’s getting their body fat measured on vacation?). Yes there were a few healthy looking people staying there but most were just ordinary seniors with money. Somehow I doubt they were getting in the sensory deprivation tank. Go for a few days to enjoy the pool and views - we did - but dine elsewhere if you can!

the grounds were nice. location was good. pools have no restrooms, so... bbq's conveniently located, but only lit by a battery powered light on the grill. bbqs sit on very small, elevated concrete pads +/- 6" which was a little dangerous. our first room was terribly hot, and even though the property is designated as being smoke free, our neighbor under us who apparently is a resident, was smoking heavily outside on the lanai which easily found its way in our room. they upgraded us to a 2bed 2 bath ground floor, which was nice, but all of the window screens were in need o replacement and allowed mosquitos to enter the room. we both were tore up by mosquitos the whole time. it was horrible. the cabinet door under the kitchen sink was literally falling off. the coffee maker was the cheapest junk ive ever used, couldnt make a pot of coffee without the coffee grounds running into the carafe. there was a fair amount of kitchen utensils, but not a single knife in the drawer that was sharper than a butter knife. all dollar store serrated junk knives. the kitchen did have a nice newer refrigerator, micro, cooktop. the room came with nice beach chairs, masks/ snorkels which was nice. the cable or whatever for the TV's was very difficult to figure out and the remotes didnt seem to work right, we only watch tv at night before bed, so not to inconvenient, buit with everthing else, its just "one more thing". the girl at the front desk was very nice and courteous.
