"The view from the balcony was incredible. In fact, all the views from every angle of this resort are breathtaking. The sunset view with the surfers is hard to explain. More than just a view, it's a moving moment. It is truly a visit to Paradise!"

"Four Days, Three Nights of Cockroaches The staff, location, and setting are excellent—but room 24 had a severe cockroach problem that overwhelmed everything else. On the first night, turning on the shower sent 30–40 cockroaches out from behind the curtain. From that point on, it was constant: cockroaches in the bathroom, cockroaches on the walls and ceiling, cockroaches in the kitchen, cockroaches on the counters, dishes, drawers, and even in my bag. Every night and morning, more cockroaches. I reported the issue immediately. Despite assurances, the response was minimal—two traps and delayed cleaning. The cockroaches continued nonstop, though numbers dropped slightly after I spent days killing cockroaches myself. Clear signs of infestation were everywhere: cockroach droppings, smeared cockroaches on walls, and cockroaches across multiple surfaces and rooms. On my last day, I still found cockroaches under the coffee maker and even on my pillow. For over $1,100, this was an unacceptable, cockroach-infested stay and the worst lodging experience I’ve had."

"The hotel was perfect for us. It is so conveniently located beside the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was absolutely phenomenal. The beach right by the hotel is wonderful. There are few people there and the water is perfect for swimming and boogie boarding. We were able to rent snorkel gear and take an Uber to Shark Cove and Turtle Bay to snorkel. The staff suggested Shark Cove and I am so glad we did both because both locations were wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, allowing us to store our luggage before checking in and after checking out. The pool area was beautiful and relaxing. The hotel and area has such a great vibe. We could see the beach from our room."

"This house was everything we dreamed of and will definitely be staying here again such a beautiful home"

"Wonderful stay with the entire family. There were 14 of us. Children and grandchildren. Plenty of room and house was very well kept. A couple of minor issues were resolved promptly!"

"Lovely beach, beautiful views. The unit itself was small, very dated, and lacked simple decent amenities. Coffee tasted like dark water - and this in Hawaii? Nothing in the pantry, not even salt and pepper. For the price, this is not a good value. If it were half the cost, it’s great. "

"The beach is so wonderful. It’s so close and so nice. The beds are comfortable and the space is cute and clean. For my three kids and me, the space was big enough. But it would be too small for four adults. "

"we enjoyed our stay. great house in a quiet location perfect for what we needed!"

"First and foremost, the building looks like it’s condemned and anyone who spends their hard earned money to stay here should be very well aware of that. As for the interior of the unit that is subpar at best be prepared for the fact that there really is not an actual bedroom. It’s a bed that you have no space to walk around. The location is not great either you are quite a ways away from any of the locations a tourist would want to visit. The only reason I give it any stars at all is because of the ocean view."
