10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic vacation here. The resort was beautiful, relaxing, great staff and service. We had several amazing dinners at Moana, the New York strip was phenomenal, grilled prawns were delicious, the house sourdough bread was on point, wine selection was good. Breakfast at Moana was also great, the French toast and the omelette should not be passed up. We also had dinner at the four seasons one night and it was not even close to being as good as Moana. The beach is a relaxing vibe, never felt crowded, just a serene view with relaxing waves to listen to, we had lunch and drinks at the shipwreck bar, grilled fish Baja tacos and ceviche with Island lagers really nailed it. They have a complimentary coffee bar open at 530 am with fresh fruit and the chocolate croissant was delicious , we did that every morning and worked out in the gym which has everything you need. Only comments which are not really complaints but could be improved, dinner at Kahuwai cookhouse could be better, the burger didn’t really impress for the price, bbq oysters also didn’t impress, needed more flavor on both, seems a missed opportunity for them to not have wood fired pizza or just a more bbq over fire focused menu, we would have loved that. Overall I would give it a 10/10, we will come back and plan to visit other Rosewood resorts after this."

10/10 Excellent
"Original room booked was beyond repair. It had not been maintained it what seemed like at least a year. There was dust everywhere and it smells like mold. We’ve been had a few roaches crawling around. They were unable to accommodate us, and we had to spend the night there they ended up bringing mattress pads to help us with a big hole in the mattress remainder of the night were great as they moved us into a semi remodeled room. It wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t great. It was mediocre. The grounds would be beautiful if they were well kept."
