Beautiful resort, it’s older yes but as a travel snob and for the price it was very nice. The restaurant on the property was absolutely incredible ate at it 4x (gluten intolerant and also a food snob from CA - I swear it’s delicious) has the most stunning view. Staff works hard and has to deal with a lot, they do seem burnt out but if you talk to them and are polite they warm up. Overall great older resort, very accommodating, oh and the luau was amazing! If you stay in the second or third tower you’ll be able to watch on your balcony probably a few times! Very quiet past 8pm never heard anything or other guests talking through the walls like so many other hotels… easy parking and walkable to the main shopping area. FAST elevators! Get the fish tacos! Oh and 2 free mai tais 10/10!!!

The staff was great. We had a room with a great ocean view. The property is very old lots of updating. There is currently construction taking place which is great but also an inconvenience. The location has its good and bad. There are lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance but we also felt unsafe. There is also lots of homeless in the area. I would not bhave ok this place again.

Great Location, but …

If not for the excellent location (walking distance to Kailua town, and the sunset views are spectacular), I would seriously consider staying somewhere else on my next trip (approx. every 3-5 years). The exorbitant resort fee is a ripoff, and to charge for self-parking ABOVE AND BEYOND the fee is almost criminal. What do you get for this fee? 2 bottles of water — for the stay, not each day! — doesn’t come close to justifying the fee. I was given a coupon for 2 Mai Tais; when I explained that we do not like Mai Tais, I was told that this is not exchangeable for anything else (I was even willing to redeem them for a single drink of another type, but we were basically told ‘too bad’ — I guess guests who do not drink alcohol are similarly just out of luck. There are no snack or beverage machines. The fitness machines are hard to figure out, and unlike any I have seen in other resorts. If the fee is going towards resort maintenance, the results are not obvious; the place is somewhat run-down since our last trip (the ponds are filthy). And I find it insulting that visitors for the luau might find parking more easy than paying guests. And for the third time, I will argue for a hot tub (and you can certainly find a place for it; several years ago, I was told ‘yes, many people make that comment.’ So, why don’t you heed such comments?) The food at Don’s is good, but there should be lighter options for those who just want a snack (see comment about lack of machines above).

No microwave. Bed a bit uncomfortable. And for the price, the bathroom should be much nicer. I had booked a king ocean view room. They tried to give me a 2 double bed room and when i explained i booked a king room i was told they could put me in a king room for $98 more a night. This was disappointing.
