This place was magnificent! Great location to get to either the shops, the beach, or out of the resort. The home is well-equipped with all the things you might need for beach days, and the location within the beach village can't be beat in our opinion. The house itself was spotless on the inside, had all the amenities of home, and plenty of space for our family of four. The landscaping in and around the villas was well kept, the garage was handy and close by, and the Resortica team took care of all of our needs. The bathrooms were both large. Both check in and check out were a breeze. And the area was super-quiet in the evenings. It was also a short drive to Hapuna Beach and even the airport....hard to beat the convenience of the location, both on-resort, and on-island.
The one downfall we experienced was that there was unannounced pool maintenance/closure that began the day before we checked in and was on-going after we left a week later. While I understand this was out of Resortica's control, the fact that this planned pool renovation was even expected to happen at some point this summer was never made clear to us weeks or months ago. So one of the perks in the title of this unit which drew us to selecting it over other comparables was that the unit was located right beside the pool. There was another pool in the area (5 min walk away), but that's not the same as basically having it at the doorstep of the unit you selected for that very reason. Again, if the listing had mentioned possible mauka pool work this summer at a time to be posted later, that could have helped or steered us away, but to find out the day before check in was terribly disheartening. Then it took three communications between me and Resortica to get a half-hearted apology from them; no offer of a discount, and no offer of a pool pass to the Hilton resort close by. Again, being "poolside" is in the description of the unit. This didn't ruin our stay, but the communications or concessions certainly could have been better.
