Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel was wonderful! The rooms are a little old, but nice. The beds were not as comfortable as we would like. We reserved a partial ocean view room with a balcony and we had a great view of the bay. I liked our view better than a full ocean view. Food was very good and service was great. We attended the luau! We paid the extra for VIP at the luau. Well worth the price.

Mediocre hotel especially for the price. Needs a serious renovation. Also, the restaurant was blasting a football game at an obnoxiously high volume at 8:30am during breakfast when most patrons wanted to enjoy the sound of the ocean. I asked our waiter if he could request the bar turn down the volume a bit and he said no because it was “football Sunday”. Only two people were watching the game at the bar, the rest of the people were completely disinterested. I don’t see the need to blast a football game at high volume early in the morning when most people want to enjoy their breakfast in peace.

This place completely exceeded my expectations! 🌺 The food here is so underrated — every dish was amazing. Huge thanks to the chef! The breakfast veggie Benedict, poke bowl, and ahi sandwich were all perfection (omgeee, so good!). The veggie salads were fresh and crisp, and the complimentary mai tai was an unexpected hit. 🍹 The little lagoon added such a quaint, relaxing vibe — we loved every moment here!

Nice, reasonably priced rooms with great ocean views. Nice pool and loungers. Hotel is right on shoreline with waves crashing and beautiful sunsets. Food and drinks at Don's Mai Tai onsite are good with beautiful oceanside dining. Current construction on one of buildings is a bit loud but only during day time and we were usually gone sightseeing. Easy walk to shopping and other restaurants. Fun to see and hear laua from our room.

Mi primera noche me encontre con cucarachas en mi cuarto y lo unico que me contesto el staff cuando fui al front desk: i hate when that happens, do you want to get the room fumigated? el gym tuvo la misma basura y arena por dias, no lo limpian diario a pesar de que las maquinas son buenas, el tiempo de espera para ser sentado en el desyauno es absurdo. Sin embargo tiene una ubicacion privilegiada y fuera las cucarachas housekeeping hacia un buen trabajo y la gente es amable.
