We love this resort. It's a great fit for a family
of 4 and with the newly updated kitchen and
baths (new cabinets, Corian & granite
counters), now looks comparable to the new
Hilton Hawaiian Village rooms.
The location is excellent. I love Kuhio Beach
(part of Waikiki) with it's rock waterfalls,
seawall, nightly entertainment (torch lighting
& hula/Hawaiian music) at the big Banyan tree
& stage. The seawall allows families with small
children to enjoy the beach without fear of
being drawn out to sea. We used scuba
masks and saw TONS of beautiful, different
fish on and around the seawall--actually very
comparable to what we saw the day before at
Hanuama Bay. (Of course only Hanauma had
any turtles, though.)
Right now (Dec. 06) the only problem is
Honolulu has part of the beach under
construction to pump new sand in the beach,
so there's noise & ugly equipment at part of
the beach.
The only reason I don't put 5 stars is it
doesn't offer unlimited linen exchange (only 1
x per week), include maid service or concierge
services. There is an Expedia rep in the lobby
to help anyone with additional vacation plans.
We've owned here for 5 years and plan to buy
another unit soon. I highly recommend it
unless luxury/pampering/on-site spa service is
your top priority.
