We had a wonderful stay to end our honeymoon here at Hali’i Kai. This apartment is truly beautiful and it is the closest you can be to the resort’s ocean club. This means a very short walk to pool, cocktails and perhaps dinner.
The whole resort has a great atmosphere to it. Very family friendly but also very private so as a couple it was wonderful to feel like we had the whole place to ourself!
Check out procedures were a little unusual as they request you do a some laundry of towels etc, which I felt was a bit of a burden considering the comparative high price of staying here. Also we left before 6am to catch a flight so we rushed around doing chores before leaving. Perhaps we could have negotiated doing less but we just wanted to follow the strictly outlined check out procedures which were both sent to us and displayed in the apartment. I understand basic garbage removal etc but I have never been asked to do linen laundry upon leaving a holiday unit. That being said, there is all the products you need and a washer and dryer in the apartment which are very easy to use.
Also we used the drop box to return the ocean club swipe cards (due to early departure) which we were instructed to do and the on-site management went and charged us $100 for lost cards. We are still asking to get refunded this and awaiting a response.
Finally, there is a $20/day resort charge that is not included in the fees that are paid to on-site management on arrival.
After all this, I would still recommend this accomodation it was very nice.
