We were very happy with our stay. The room is pretty private despite being on the ground floor. We enjoyed being able to use the outdoor lanai. It was also very convenient to the lobby/pool area. We enjoyed the convenience of it. The only bummer is that this unit doesn't participate in the pool towel check-out. I'm glad that I had read someone else's review about that. We did end up bringing one set of extra beach towels, but to be honest, we didn't really need them. We were able to dry the towels each night on the lanai (and wash them every other night), so we made do with the 4 towels the unit provided.
Honua Kai is an awesome resort with a great location/amenities and I think this unit provides a good value for the resort.
