Choose other resorts. The amenities for this resort are not worth the money. There is only one restaurant and its not open all the time. The beach is 1/2 mile walk. The beach is not just for this property but for many others. Staff is very friendly, but not much they can do about the issues.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wailua better suited for a beach vacation or a cultural trip?
Wailua is primarily a beach and outdoor destination, making it ideal for a Wailua vacation focused on coastal relaxation and nature exploration. Travelers can enjoy numerous sandy stretches like Waipouli Beach and Lydgate Beach, which are both about 1 mile from central Wailua, perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

While beaches are a main draw, Wailua also offers cultural insights. The Wailua River State Park features ancient Hawaiian temples (heiaus) and historic sites, providing a glimpse into the island's heritage.
