Beautiful beach right in front of the property. Nice bar and amenities. The room was not very clean (sheets had spots) and overall the hotel was a bit old. The staff were really nice and helpful.
Stay was comfortable staff very attentive & accomodating, We stayed in the fire lanai deluxe room (ocen-view) it was amazing. Be prepared to get your steps in going from your room to the main lobby if you’re staying over there, but you will have easy access to the pool and the exclusion will be very much appreciated. Def worth it!!
This hotel is very nice and the scenery is beautiful. It’s a little tucked-away, so it is very quiet and peaceful. The staff was mostly great- ironically the one person that was kind of rude was at the concierge desk. The wait staff and housekeeping staff was great. We would stay here again.
If I were to nitpick something it would be that some of the room service food was disappointing. It seemed to have sat a while prior to delivery.
Overall, this was expensive, but probably worth the expense given how nice the property was.
The staff is amazing, and the hotel is beautiful, but the rooms are not in great condition. AC didn’t work well, outlets didn’t work, remote control was broken
Pros and cons:
Pro:
- nice pool
- friendly staff
Cons:
- closest beach isn’t nice, other resorts are closer to Napili beach and cost less
- closest beach is $80 for chairs / sun umbrella
- not many menu options for non pork eating folks, or folks who are looking for halal/kosher options
- ordered DoorDash and it took someone two hours to bring it from reception to my room.. at the ritz!
- not even a basic free breakfast
Honestly, I’ve had better experiences at cheaper places. Literally down the road is a less expensive resort but their beach is amazing… Will not book again. Not impressed.
Resort was beautiful! However, there was just one small inconvenience which was the lost of internet connection and so we were not able to stream YouTube for 2 days. Other than that the resort was awesome in every way. Staffs were super friendly and helpful!
The people that work at the Ritz make the resort extra special.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The rooms were amazing and view was great. Beach was quite dirty and lots of debris. The pools had a broken heater and were not swimable due to how cold they were
Overall, a wonderful experience with exceptional location combining hilly forest and beach. Rooms and property condition are outstanding. Beach is a bit of a walk and not private. On site food very good, not exceptional. Check in and check out experience could be friendlier. On site concierge desk is average.
