We chose Pua Oriana because of its location on the north shore at Turtle Bay and how clean and aloha the place appeared online, and it did not disappoint. The communication was excellent with thorough check in and check out instructions. Andrew graciously checked in with us before, during, and after our visit to make sure we had everything we needed and was very responsive to us. I am originally from O’ahu and visit often. One of the reasons we chose this place is because this was tastefully decorated with Polynesian decor that felt authentic and filled with Aloha. We were there for 10 days so really had a chance to use many of the amenities here. We cooked quite a few times and the kitchen is well stocked, including really nice quality pots and pans, utensils, dishware, etc. It was nice to have a washer/dryer and they provide laundry detergent, as well as dishwashing soap, my favorite Malie bath products which I’ve used for years, a nice host basket, etc. The air conditioner in the living room and bedroom was nice, and many times we were able to just use the ceiling fans since there was a nice trade wind at times. We were appreciative of the beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, etc. It is located next to the golf course, which we used a couple of times, as well as Turtle Bay Resort where we dined a few times (Roy’s Beach House is wonderful!). If you are looking for a calmer beach to swim at, Kuilima bay right at the resort is great and there is public beach access parking if you want to drive the short distance there, or you can walk to it. I loved the recommendations that the owners provide in their online guide that they send as well as the great binder of info in the basket under the coffee table (be sure to check it out!). Keep in mind this is a condo unit, and while it is a quieter area compared to other similar places, you will likely hear a little noise every once in awhile. This did not bother us at all. We loved hearing the birds in the morning! All in all, a wonderful place to stay - so Aloha and we would definitely stay here again.
