    The walk out room to the pool was amazing and the pool was pure luxury. Having the beach right there to walk out to was so convenient as well as having restaurants and shops within walking distance. We would 100% stay here again. So highly...

    The breakfast is a bit expensive. Some information about the restaurants' location is confusing. The location is great.

    Stunning, such a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere, large rooms, gorgeous views. We loved the location, too!
  • Michael

    Room size, location and view was great. Though the hotel was full, it didn't feel crowded. The construction of the pool side restaurant was unfortunate, it wasn't that intrusive. I would stay there again.

    The location and the resort was great. Very centrally located, was able to explore a lot of the island in the week we were there. Loved the pools and beach. The view from my room was amazing.
  • Erika

    We had a Lanai room right next to the pool and beach. It was a perfect and convenient location.
  • Kristina

    we liked the swimming pool and spent most of the time by it. Unfortunately we did not know that in June the ocean on the south side of the island is pretty active and it did not allow us to swim.

    The location is nice. The food was good at all the restaurants. I did not like that I could not bring a lounge chair on to the sand and had to keep it on the grass area.
  • Bert

    The resort was very nice. Great pools with plenty of chairs. The beach was extremely nice and clean.
