Only downsides are you can't swim right off of propert in ocean and you must pay for parking. Otherwise rooms are clean and comfy. Not luxary but nice. Great lanai's that are huge and awesome views and sound of ocean. If you happen to be located seminear delivery area, you will hear them startingabout 630AM Hawaiin time. If you are mainlander it isn't that bad because you're used

Room was clean and comfortable. Lanai was nice with constant sound of ocean waves in background. Pool was nice. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping along the strip. The resort itself is nice but could use some updating and renovations.

Nice in the 70’s but not worth the price to stay h
Large room but not updated in years. Huge balcony but with a raised table and counter height seats. No lounge chose, nothing to allow you to sit comfortably in your balcony. Loud bar next to the hotel plays music well into the night. Pool is small and construction noise from a tower renovation prevents you from enjoying being at the pool. The food at the restaurant was mediocre. Staff was very pleasant. I got a massage against my better judgement (they are never worth the money at hotels) and sure enough, it was like paying someone to rub oil on your skin.

Hotel feels extremely old and run down. We paid US$531 / night for their cheapest room. For that price, I was expecting much much nicer. We will never return.

The place is awesome, right by the ocean, and the views are amazing. It’s also within walking distance to the town, so it’s super convenient if you want to explore. The whole vibe of the resort is really nice—relaxed and scenic, with a great atmosphere. Recommended!
