Having the beach right out the back door was awesome. It felt private. We loved the calm and quiet side of the island the condo is on. The location close to the Polynesian Cultural center was ideal. Snorkeling was good and fun (we ended up buying our own gear). The condo building itself is old, worn down and in need of repair, hence the construction. We had a family of 6 stay here. The washing machine was good to have. Sleeping arrangements were not that great. The pull out was uncomfortable. I would not recommend it for a family bigger than 3 or 4. Having the water turned off randomly was not ideal either. If the construction were done, the furniture updated, the snorkeling gear was in good condition, I would say this would be an excellent place to stay. This was our first time to the island, so we cannot compare other places to it (price???) and finding a place for 6 people is difficult, so we are grateful we were able to stay here.
