It is one of the nicest oceanfront timeshare resorts anywhere.
1. More luxurious than any of the Marriott Hawaii Beach Front Resorts (both rooms and grounds are head and shoulders above Marriott)
2. Quiet and serene (not too crowded like Marriotts) with only about 150 rooms total. (No need to save chairs at the pool - there are always enough)
3. It Still includes all of the amenities of a big resort since guests have access to the large Hyatt Regency Next door with its Penguin exhibits, restaurants, and pools.
Note: ALL 3-bedroom rooms are oceanfront (closest), all 2-bedroom Villas are ocean view, and 1-bedroom villas are 1/2 ocean view and 1/2 Mountain view. (So with a 2 or 3 bedroom you are guaranteed an ocean view)
Lastly - all floors are nice, but floors 8-12 are the most desirable because you can see over the top of the Hyatt Regency to the south for the widest view of the ocean. Having stayed on lower floors, though, I can say the view from lower floors is still amazing, too.
In summary - you get all of the benefits of a big Marriott with none of the drawbacks that the crowds bring.
There is one downside - the beach in front of this resort is quite eroded, so it's an oceanfront, but it's not really a "beachfront" anymore. However, you only need to walk about 5 minutes north to get to a nice, wide patch of Ka'anapali Beach.
