Great space, great accessibility, fantastic lanai, some minor maintenance issues but those have all been communicated and will hopefully be addressed soon.
We were here for our honeymoon, we loved this place for the following reasons:
- It's beautiful, the pictures don't lie
- We cooked most of our meals for the whole 10 day trip and had an easy time doing it. The kitchen is functional and nicely equipped
- We spent soo many hours out on the lanai, it's gorgeous, the view is in my opinion better than the pictures
- Location. There was lots to check out nearby. Some amazing beaches just down the road, and there's lots of restaurants and shops within 10 a minute drive. Not as much within walking distance, but still, short drives are nice
- The pool was actually a really nice place to relax as well
- The provided beach umbrella, coolers, boogie boards and beach towels are top notch, we used them a LOT.
Things that may affect some travelers:
- Hope you don't like sleeping in, because the sun will be beaming in that bedroom window by 7:30. This was fine for us, we were usually up between 6-7. I mean you're in Hawaii, you shouldn't be sleeping in ;)
- Some of the provided snorkeling gear has seen better days, try it on before you use it and grab rentals if you need 'em, they're pretty cheap
Overall, fantastic stay! Would return in a heartbeat. Just the small maintenance stuff kept this from being a true 5-star experience. Mahalo!
