Great place to stay! Good food and great staff. Only complaint is the parking and resort fees but at checkout. The hotel is away from anyone wanting to park there. There’s not security and plenty of parking. They don’t need to nickel and dime you for it $25 a day!!

The property itself is very nice and maintained. The rooms are nice, we had a cottage which was off to the side and more secluded from the main hotel. The one downfall was the housekeeping. The first night they came and cleaned very well. Second day they didn’t come at all so we had to go get more towels from the front desk which wasn’t a big deal. The third day they came, changed our bed linens and left towels and that’s it. We were completely out of toilet paper and on top of that they either threw away or took a bag and two brand new boxes of feminine products I had in the bathroom. When I called the front desk they said that the housekeeping staff doesn’t touch anything unless it’s inside the garbage. Well that just isn’t true because this stuff definitely wasn’t in the garbage. All she said was we will tell the housekeeping staff. Didn’t offer to make it right or anything. Very very frustrating. So from that point on we didn’t want them in the room at all so we kept the hang tag on the door stating we didn’t need housekeeping. We stayed 5 nights total. The location is perfect honestly, very close to the airport and right outside Kaapa which was great. Overall a decent stay but I probably wouldn’t book here again because of the housekeeping experience.

I wish I'd known up front about the $25/day for parking and another $25/day "resort fee". We felt a bit like it was bait and switch. Also, I think the place is a bit run down. I understand they are probably still digging out from the Covid years, so it's understandable. But a nice walkway to the beach wouldn't be too costly. Instead, it's a worn old dirt path. Come on, this is the Hilton!

The staff were not friendly. When I arrived they were not very welcoming. Also, they offer fish feeding as an activity offered by the hotel. The first day when we wanted to participate, we came to the lobby and found no staff there for the activity. At 7:59 which is 1 minute before the activity I asked the staff if they were doing fish feeding at 8am. She said “yeah, in 2 minutes.” After waiting for a bit, 8:09 am, no one came. A man, who also is staying at the hotel saw us standing by the Koi fish pond and he said, “Did you know you can go up to the front desk and ask for some food to feed the fish?” That’s when I found out that this is what I had to do. The staff who I asked didn’t care to help and never bothered to check back with me. Another frustrating thing too is that I had called 6 months ahead of time when I reserved the hotel that I had an elderly in a wheelchair and 3 young kids. I needed two rooms next to each other and did not want to be far apart from them. They said ok and it was settled but when we got there it was not the case. We finally did get it resolved eventually but we were one room away from each other. After two days there were cockroaches in one of the rooms. So we ended up splitting up and my 2 kids and elderly mom had to be far away in another direction of the wing. This was very upsetting. Another disappointment is that they charge a parking fee per day and a resort fee per day. This is ridiculous! The resort fee should include the parking fee.

This property was misleading online it looked a lot cleaner and a closer ocean view. We had mold in the bathroom stains on the carpet and sofa pull out, and when we checked in the front desk girl was not friendly and helpful. There was no bellboy or valet parking we checked out the next day we would never stay at this property again.

We had booked a cottage which is costly option since we have 2 kids. It was raining heavily when we reached so the reception lady said we will have to walk to the cottage and get wet and it wont fit 4 people or move to a smaller room. The smaller room was the cheapest option. She didnt refund us the difference in charges neither gave us any other way to compensate for. She wasnt at all helpful and her attitude was take it or leave it. We had flown for more that 13 hrs and kids were tired and we didnt have the capacity to argue with her and just took the keys and let her have way with the whole situstion.

Just an ok hotel. No doors on the shower made it really hard to keep the bathroom dry. There was a $25 a day “activity fee” which I wasn’t expecting and seemed to offer very little. Supposedly, bike rentals were included with this fee, but the bikes were at another company 2 miles away and you had to reserve a specific time. There’s a concierge, which is mostly staffed by a sign that says “be back soon”. The tiki bar had a great hamburger and the beach the hotel is located on is great.

This is a very nice hotel to stay at. The main restaurant open for breakfast. You had to go to tike hut if you want lunch and dinner. It rained a couple of days so you had to walk in the rain to get food. Limited under cover seating. The workers were great and very helpful.

Also, the resort fee offers a variety of activities (lei making, hula classes, yoga, 2 hour free bike rental and 2 water bottles which come in handy). You also have beach access to watch sunrises, swim, etc.

We checked into this room and found it smelled like an entire bottle of perfume was sprayed in it. One A/C unit didn’t work and the other wouldn’t adjust or shut off. We had to unplug to stop it at night. The main bed was horrible and very uncomfortable, but the pull out sofa was even worse, like laying on 3 steel bars with no padding. The road around the hotel to the cottage is destroyed and the rental scrap the ground in several places. We left this hotel first thing in the morning and are know trying yo get a refund for the unused time. So far two weeks and no response from hotel or Orbitz. Avoid this place at all cost.
