My husband, three young kids and I stayed here for a week in June. It is a spectacular place to stay! The view is unbelievable!
We loved having the good sized balcony to be able to hang out on. The master bed being right next to the balcony and having a view as well was amazing. We had the doors open the entire time to enjoy the weather and ocean breezes.
Everything was super clean. The recent updates looked great. The colorful and beachy decor was also very nice. The beds were super comfortable, even the pull out couch mattress. The master bed was the most comfortable bed away from home that we have stayed in.
We had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, extra bedding… We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella and insulated cooler for a day down on the beach, too.
Communication with our host was excellent. We appreciated all the helpful suggestions and details to make our trip easier and more enjoyable.
The pool was great for our kids, we were always able to snag chairs by the pool. It wasn’t overcrowded. There’s good snorkeling along the beach in front of the resort. Mornings are best for that when the ocean is most calm. The wind usually picked up in the early afternoon.
We went on a snorkeling excursion to Molokini and visited volcanic sea caves along the coast (to view, not snorkel). We used Blue Water Rafting company. It was very fun and we liked that their boats are a lot smaller with less people than some of the other companies.
As a suggestion for getting around on the island- If you’re not planning on going to very many places, then I would just use Uber and Lyft. We rented a car from one of our Uber drivers for one day when we were going to drive further. There are locals who rent out cheaper cars as well on craigslist, etc. That can be hit and miss, but there are definitely a lot of legitimate locals to rent from. We saw a lot of people on bikes and scooters, as well. I would assume that would be cheaper than renting from one of the major car rental companies.
We also used DoorDash for food delivery, and that was cheaper than using an Uber to get to and from a restaurant for food pick up. Getting food from Costco and local grocery stores was also helpful on the budget.
We will definitely be coming back! We highly recommend staying here.
