"The hotel has beautifully landscaped gardens and is right on the beach. The pool and bar were very nice but they didn’t have music at the Pool / bar. Our room was in decent condition clean comfortable bed, but the patio furniture was kind of dated. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance and you can take morning walks along the beach on the walkway there. It was very relaxing and not crowded like some of the big resorts. I highly recommend it."

"The location is great. Right by the beach, centrally located to all the attractions. Pool and pool area are great too. The rest in my opinion falls short of the 4 star, $500+ per night (with all the taxes and fees) hotel. I would give it 3.75 stars but there is no such option. Some areas are dated. You can tell the hotel tries to maintain them by painting stuff over but it shows. For me the worst were supply and return grills for the A/C unit. Very dirty. We actually had been turning the A/C off as much as we could so we would not breathe in the dust!! Thankfully the wonderful ocean breeze helped :) Breakfast buffet is decent but it falls short of the Marriott's standards. Some more daily variety would be nice."

"Loved this ocean view condo, it’s so close to the water you can almost feel the spray from the ocean. That was probably our favorite part, just sitting on the lanai enjoying some food or coffee while watching the waves come in. Amazing location with tons of amenities nearby. Gas station right there, lots of delicious restaurants. Our favorite in the area ended up being Naisla! There was also a lovely thrift boutique called Clementine, and antique store called Pagoda that had great things in them. Being located on the east of the island it’s easy to go north or south without a huge drive. It’s also a few blocks from the Coconut Market where there is an ABC store, boutiques and farmers market. Walking a block over there is a path access to get down to Lae Nani beach which has some rough surf but amazing to hang out on the beach. There was a Safeway 5 minutes away to stock up on supplies for meals when we didn’t want to go out. We walked and got to meet a of the locals there in Waimea and Kapaa on the east side I think the only thing that is challenging if you’re not used to this type of climate is the air conditioning. There is one in the bedroom, but you’re not supposed to use it to cool the whole condo. So with the heat and humidity it can be uncomfortable. Not a deal breaker but something to take into account. Everything was clean, the new improvements and appliances were all great quality. The condo and surrounding area felt nice and safe. Loved it!"
