Pia's place was exactly as advertised, and it worked out great for us. A big plus was that the nearest section of beach (near the Eldorado cabana) seemed much less busy than other beaches nearby. From this beach, there's really good snorkeling a short swim over to near Black Rock Beach, or a short walk north to Kahekili Beach Park. The resort's proximity to the strip mall (which includes Whalers General Store and the Snorkel Store) and the to Whalers Village outdoor mall was also very convenient.
