We were a group of 6 adults, three couples. This condo was perfect. We had everything we needed to enjoy Hawaii. We had never been to this area before so I am going to mention some of the things I didn’t know about Ko Olina before our trip.
Ko Olina Resort is made up of two hotels, Disney’s Aulani and a Marriot, the Beach Villa’s (where this condo is) and some homes away from the water. Each hotel and the condos are set in front of their own lagoon. Half a mile away is a shopping center with several restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream and the required ABC store. There is also an upscale Roy’s restaurant at the golf course.
We arrived before check-in time and were able to leave our bags at the reception area while we went to buy groceries. Our bags were in our condo when we returned.
There are two pools, a quiet pool and a not quiet pool. The pool area was not crowded until the Friday after the 4th of July, which was not surprising. There is one bar on the property. They offer hot dogs, chips, Mac n’cheese in addition to cocktails.
The lagoon area is protected from the waves and provides easy ocean swimming. Bring your own chairs and towels. There is no shade on the sand, but some palm trees on the grass near it. We snorkeled and saw a lot of brightly colored fish.
We all agreed that this was a great place to stay and were very happy. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean.
