8.8/10 Excellent! (977 reviews)
This resort was relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again if I had the opportunity. The only reason that I did not give it a perfect review was due to the really weird design of the window in the bedroom. It was a corner window that faced into the outdoor entrance to the condo. We always had to keep the blackout curtains tightly shut. Now, the patio on the other side facing the pool and the ocean made up for it. This is where we spent our time when we were in the condo. It was an amazing trip that I will treasure. Thank you.

This is a sweet, simple little park, but if you're limited on time, I would recommend going to Hawaiian Tropical Botanical instead.
