Chaminade Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"This is definitely all about the property itself. The rooms are just okay, and we did have requests that had to be made a couple of times before actually receiving the services. Not too sure I would stay here again however I would absolutely love to check out the spa and the services they offer. The property is beautiful and tucked away. That is what we wanted so that met our needs nicely."
