Overall we had a very good stay, the villa was clean and conveniently located with good facilities and the price represented good value for money in the area. The whole area is beautiful and for somewhere to first experience Hawaii while relaxing and recovering from jet-lag it was ideal.
The highlight of the stay was the day we paid $133 for 8 of us to gain access to the Hilton Hotel which is across the road and swam in the lagoon with the sea turtles.
We didn’t hire a car as we wanted to use this stay to recover from the journey, but a hire car would be imperative to see the island.
We did have a bit of a shock at check-in when we were told that the villa did not, in fact, sleep 8 people despite the description saying 8. After a bit of a problem they told us we could “make do” within the villa facilities. The villa contained sufficient beds so long as 4 adults were prepared to sleep in one room in two small (by American standards) double beds and housekeeping did bring bedding for the sofabed despite what we had been told at check-in. But, the villa is not set up for 8, with only 6 chairs, sets of crockery, mugs etc. This was inconvenient and not what we expected given the description but at least the property managers did let everyone sleep in the villa.
