This unit has an amazing panoramic view- one day we saw a beautiful morning rainbow over the hills in the East and then a new afternoon rainbow over the ocean in the West! Even though it was the tail end (haha) of whale season, we still saw lots of blow spouts and a few breaches from the lanai too! There were 2 binocular sets that were handy for whale-watching. The pools at this resort are amazing for kids- different pools, different temperatures, different depths, hot tubs, a slide-- something for everyone and you're allowed floaties in the pools. Duke's restaurant is really tasty too! Some tips/FYI: the coffee maker uses grounds, not k-cups. There is a water filter in the fridge which is super handy, but the ice maker doesn't work. There weren't any plastic cups/bowls/plates for kid use, but there was an abundance of wine glasses haha. When we were there, the closet had boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys, a pool noodle, a couple little life jackets, a cooler and we left a big floaty ring. Note that this feels very much like a hotel- the decor is hotel-y and there aren't personal touches, but it's very clean and functional. Netflix on the tv was handy too. You'll need to buy more toilet paper if you're there for more than a few days. Aloha!
