For people who like to stay away from the Waikiki area, I would think this is the best location on the island. The resort has many pools that you’ll enjoy. It’s also close to the lagoons. If you have a little one, the lagoons are great as the water is so calm. The only thing I wish to see more there was dining options nearby. We toured the Aulani resort next door and thought Marriott has better value.
We are a group of five adults and one crawling baby. The floor plan and amenities of the two bedrooms we rented worked very well for us.
