Very close to the lagoon and beautiful beach. We had a fun time going downstairs and walking right out to the beach. Room is very basic but gave us a place to crash when we were tired. It's not set up for spending time in, especially if you have more than a couple people in your group. We liked being in the Ilikai hotel, because there are restaurants, an ice cream shop, and a convenience store just downstairs in the lobby. Self-parking is not very close, and one night we were held up almost an hour trying to get out of the garage because of traffic inside the garage. If we were to do it again, we would definitely use valet parking even though it's more expensive.
