Everywhere in Hawaii is expensive. This price is very competitive in the market and it is a beautiful property loaded with amenities! It was in our opinion well worth the price to relax in paradise. We had paid extra for a sea view, but when we got there that view was a little bit of sea and mostly an industrial area. It was in our opinion not a pretty view to wake up to in the morning. We asked the front desk if there were any other rooms available and they went above and beyond to put us in a room with a beautiful view of the grounds, sea and mountains. Everyone there is so kind and attentive. You really feel taken care of at Ko'Olina. You have everything you could possibly want at this resort. It's stunning, with safe lagoons for swimming and sun bathing, plenty of restaurant options and shops for odds and ends you may have forgotten. We had no need to even leave the resort. We just completely relaxed all week. Love it!
