8.6/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)
convenient and accessible to mostly everything we wanted to do!
if you want volcano and hilo activities you can still get to them but you gotta be ok with driving.
our room was always clean, staff were all VERY NICE, and all went the extra mile. i felt safe, comfortable and happy while i was there. i did not appreciate having to pay to park but i do realize its not all inclusive ( which is what i have done in the past)
pool is separated so you are not all over the kids which is nice( you get that adults only feel)
downside is no sandy beach unless you drive north but it is the big island so you would have to select somewhere to stay that has a beach if that is higher on your priority list.
manta ray snorkeling was RIGHT at the resort and i was so thankful for that!
lots of stray cats as well- i love cats so i had no issue with it!!
nice little gym- kinda small but it wasn’t the worst plus i don’t work out daily on my vacation anyway!
also we could never find the hot tub…..
breakfast buffet is kinda pricey- i just had to begin to understand that again it’s just pricier in hawaii and not all inclusive so if you can get past all that, you’ll be fine.
i enjoyed my stay and would do it all over again
