Bade’s place was great for our family! Checking in was just like checking into hotel. My parents are older and my cousin & I are pregnant so staying in one resort with amazing amenities worked out for us. We all enjoyed the “beach” vibe and the beautiful pool - all walking distance from our room! But you do have to pay ~$30 to reserve seats at least a day in advance & if you’re gone for more than an hour they will start taking photos of your stuff or even move them! We also paid for the Fia Fia Luau, which is located at the resort’s main center lawn ... I didn’t mind paying to secure seats for the seniors, but IMO the food was meh and it looks like there were plenty of places around the lawn where you can watch the show for free lol. We did have 2 days of excursions with the GoCard that started in Waikiki, which is about 35-40min drive with no traffic. One of our tours started at 7am on Wed, & we were stuck in traffic for at least an hour so plan accordingly!!! Booking with Bade was easy, he does not cancel on you a month before arrival like another Airbnb host did to my cousin, & he responds promptly to all our questions. Mahalo for making our family vacation possible!!
