The view is amazing and the rooms are kept clean and comfortable. The luau was fun and the food was excellent. I think it’s a little ridiculous to have to pay for a resort fee and parking when you are spending good money to stay here though. Seems like that should be included in the stay. Overall a very relaxing and nice place to stay.

7-story hotel, and only 2 water filling stations (2nd & 5th floor). None on ground floor. Elevator doors close in 3 seconds, so wear running shoes. Noisy construction all day.

This is a horrible hotel. There is ongoing construction that you are not notified about until they already have your money. The rooms are basic. This is not a 'resort'. This is fraud. For the price, there should be so much more than a noisy room full of construction dust. Avoid if you can.

One of the female bartenders was rude. Also, we asked the hostess if we could put two tables together to seat ten people and she refused. We ended up eating somewhere else. Dinner and drinks for ten people is a lot of money you missed out on. We ended up eat at different restaurants rather than the resort for every meal.
