I wish I could upload photos... I booked an ocean view room but what I got was 90% street view + 10% ocean view. I talked to the front desk girl and also reached out to the hotel via Expedia, their answer was that my assigned room was listed as an ocean view room in their system -- not even partial ocean view! I was transferred to another ocean view room later and it was 85% hotel/parking lot view + 15% ocean view. The ocean was only visible if I stood on the balcony and turned to the right. There was no ocean view from the room itself. SUPER TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! When I mentioned that I could contact Expedia to see how this could be resolved, the front desk girl replied, “Then you can just sit there and wait. You didn’t book through the hotel, and unless you pay extra to upgrade to an oceanfront room, this is the room you paid for. There’s nothing I can do.” Her exaggerated facial expressions (wide eyes, raised eyebrows, and visible effort to restrain her tone) made the interaction feel dismissive, hostile, and extremely unprofessional.

This property is dated and the rooms are in need of updating. The rooms were clean and housekeeping did a great job of checking in to see if we needed anything on the days we didn't want housekeeping services. The staff was friendly but the wait time when checking-in was very long. There were only 2 staff members working the front desk. The parking lot is small for the size of the hotel. When there is a luau parking will be very difficult to find. The pool is very small and no beach access. There are not many loungers around the pool area. The location of the resort is great for walking to restaurants and shops. Food at the resort restaurant is delicious, no room service. Overall, our stay was enjoyable.
