I LOVED how close it was to the beach and stores. Literally can watch the sunrise from the balcony and view the beach. This was my first time in Hawaii and I felt right at home. The club on level 2 does play loud music until 1am to 2am but if you're dog tired or a heavy sleeper it won't bother you. I was afraid I'd sleep in and miss out on things I planned to do but the noisiness worked in my favor. I was up before sunrise every day and did everything I wanted. THANK YOU! I had the BEST time.
